Best Carry for EC?

[KermitII63]

I have a Storchenwiege woven wrap, which I absolutely love, but I don't use it as much lately because it's such a pain to unwrap and rewrap each time DS has to pee. We're doing EC, and he's just 5 months old, so sometimes he pees every 15 minutes. I've heard there are carries that are perfect for EC and I'm curious to know which ones people recommend. (I need to get him in and out quickly and easily without having to take the wrap off.) I love my Ergo, but when he's upset I like prefer to put him in the Storchenwiege because I feel like he's much closer to me somehow.

I've never had to unwrap and rewrap a woven wrap to EC a baby (mine or a friends - thats all I know who EC! lol). Why are you having to unwrap? ... Thats what I always loved about woven wraps - unlike stretchy wraps, they arn't gonna change shape or...like...'tightness'...by moving baby in and out of them - whilst a stretchy wrap would do (so would require rewrapping).

I suppose you could get a buckletai - if you want 'quick release'. You would have to 'undo' and 'do-up' again - but then its just a buckle and a pull of the strap.

so what carries? i'm with OP--can't figure it out (i have 11 wk DD2). back carries available too? just easier with practice?

I've been doing one of the front carries with my Storchenwiege, and I never even thought to take him in and out--it's so tight though i'm not sure I could if I tried. I cant remember the name of the carry, but he fits in one pocket that comes up to his ears, and the wrap comes up the sides of his torso on the outside. In the instrux they say you have to take off and rewrap each time for proper support, so I figured it just wasn't a good idea with that specific hold.
