Wooo-hoooo!

Yeah! I'm so glad we have this forum now!

Zane is 9.5 months, and most outings he's in the Maya Wrap. We also have a Madden backpack that I use for long hikes and such.

I have a WAHM ABC on the way, which I'm so psyched about. I'm also on the waiting list for a Kozy....

I tried an Ergo but wasn't too into the sternum strap. Very cool design, though....

Hi! I'm here.

Niels (20 months) is not into being carried at all at the moment. He'll go in the Kelty pack on DH's back, but that's about it. Before he gave up on it we were mostly using the KKAFP. Now that it's warmer, I'll be using the KKACP, if he decides he wants back up.

Hi! Dd is 16 months old and we have three that we use, an OTSBH, a Kangaroon Korner Solarveil - which I love in summer time, and a NoJo. I use the OTSBH mostly inside, the KK during the summer and the NoJo when we're outside in the winter 'cause it fits over my coat.

I want more, but we're broke so I just covet everyone else's.

WOW!

This forum is hoppin' ! I was here earlier when there were all of 4 posts!

Anyhow, Mostly I am using a mesh sling that my friend made for me, from the Maya pattern, for either one of the boys.

Also, I use the Ultimate Baby Wrap on walks with my 6 mo old (eldest in the stroller). I use a very crappy gerry pack with my 19 mo old when both of them need to be carried.


Anyhow, now I need to go wear them....



Glad this forum exists! (I would have called it "Baby-wearing", though.)

Ds is 2 and a half now and I love our backpack. He has been in the "pak pak" since he turned one.
We do a lot of camping and hiking so we spent the extra money on the REI Piggyback and bought the rain/sun bonnet. DS liked it so much that we never bought a stroller.
When Trapolin was little we used the same old cordoroy snuggli that hisgrandma and daddy used when he was a baby.
I have a nifty new Maya Wrap waiting for the next little one but I will probably still use the Snugli a couple times just for sentimental reasons. The older snuglis are really a far cry from those nasty little things they sell now. I didn't mind using it that much.

Amber and I will jump in! Amber is almost 11 mo. old and she loves the Slingeese and the New Native and recently we just got a Kangaroo Korner Mesh Water Sling, so we have been enjoying our morning showers together now.

Warmly~

We're here! Holden is 5.5 months old and spends most of his time in his Maya Wrap. He's perfecting the forward-facing position.

I'm interested in finding a sling for me and my October babe.

My post was the recs for a new mama.

Glad this forum is here. I'm getting the hang of the dipes; but, slings.....

Just signing in... I use my Nojo sling with my 17 month old son... I'm sending my Maya Wrap in to be repaired in the upcoming week (I know, I should've gotten around to it sooner). It's been in storage for a few years now.

dd2 (3.5 mo) likes to nap and nurse in the otsbh with head and legs dangling free. she's a big girl and never did like the kkafp or to be tucked into the otsbh even as a newborn. she barely tolerates other positions, but i'm hoping she'll grow into them in both as she gets older. i had her in the baby bjorn just now for about 10 minutes before she gave me the "enough of this!" signal. dd1 liked the bjorn a lot and it is easier on my back than the otsbh. we also have an old LL Bean back pack, but haven't broken that out yet.

Ds is almost 2 and rides in the maya occasionally. I got a New Native pouch, but haven't tried it yet. I'm 27 weeks pg, so trying anything new is a bit much- so is carrying ds for more than about 15 min or so.

sling-mamas. Woohoo finally a babywearing forum. Right now we our Kozy Carrier. Ds is 15 mos and 30 lbs and I can wear him on my back for more than an hour very comfortably. I've tried some frame back packs and couldn't use them for more than 10 mins. We also have a maya which is wonderful for nursing to sleep and and OTSBH which is great for in and out of shops from the car etc.

Braden is just over 8mos. old and we've been slinging him since he was 2.5 weeks in a New Native. We used a Bjorn every now and then too, but sold it since we sling a lot more than we used the Bjorn. LOVE the new forum!

I'm here just discovered it browsing. What a great forum. My baby (not really a baby anymore) is 22 months and likes a pouch that I made and we have a sling I still use occasionally that I got off of ebay from a WAHM in Canada. He doesn't like to be carried as much any more.

Oh it only takes a few times wearing to get the hang of--and you'll be sooooo glad you did. Don't worry--you'll both it!
