I provided a link with 6 different carriers that I've used and give pros and cons of each. Ultimately, my DD and I love babywearing, and I couldn't imagine life as a parent without it! :-)Uniquely Normal Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07576808826740309105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-84977968624387762172011-03-04T14:55:17.482-08:002011-03-04T14:55:17.482-08:00This is so great!

We found one that is cameo for my husband who just thinks that is the greatest thing!Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13169767757479816137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-64272001288060740982011-03-03T12:13:07.741-08:002011-03-03T12:13:07.741-08:00I wish I had known more about babywearing when Rai...I wish I had known more about babywearing when Raiden came along -- he was definitely a want-to-be-held-constantly baby, and all I had for the longest time was a Snugli I'd gotten at my baby shower; still, for whatever reason, I used it as a last resort, almost with some resentment that I <i>had</i> to. As he got bigger I got an Ergo carrier and LOVED it. Life would've been so much easier with him as a newborn if I'd had some type of a sling, though, I can see it so clearly on this side.<br /><br />If there's a number two, you better believe I'll have a newborn-appropriate carrier ready. (I keep looking at the Baby K'Tan, but don't know anyone with any experience with it...) Though it would also be nice to have a #2 like your #2 who gives a little space, lol.Karynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13481484074210475160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-85273445170041801972011-02-28T21:58:00.523-08:002011-02-28T21:58:00.523-08:00Babywearing has definitely been a sanity saver for...Babywearing has definitely been a sanity saver for me many times, especially during illness and teething. When all they need is to be close, being able to meet that need and still get dinner on the table is like having a superpower! <br /><br />Great post. :)Michelle @ The Parent Vortexhttp://www.theparentvortex.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-20750145727718454662011-02-28T10:36:05.401-08:002011-02-28T10:36:05.401-08:00What a great site!

Making your own wrap or sling is a great way to make babywearing affordable and accessible to everyone.Hippie Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14718357472343295031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-69189048689287330002011-02-28T04:42:02.432-08:002011-02-28T04:42:02.432-08:00Great great post!!!!

It did the trick, but boy was it ever so fantastic to learn about other ways! We got into ring slings with our second born and podagei's and with our third we dove right into making our own wraps and have used wraps pretty much all of the time, except now we also have a mei tai we also use. <br /><br />The one thing I just love about babywearing is that it doesnt have to be expensive, you can spend hundreds of dollars on a stroller or go to a fabric store and spend as little as 15 bucks and make a wrap. I had a good "stash" going for a while and I think in total all my wraps cost me still under 50 dollars :). <br />I think I added my link to my webpage that has a lot of instructions to making woven wraps, I hope it worked :)Candace Novakowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13872745391134995655noreply@blogger.com
