I just wore DS2 around the house and did some practice wrapping. I think I need a shorty for reboxo carries.

Default Re: Are you babywearing right now/did you babywear today ?

I have been wearing E almost constantly. I'm on my own with the boys and there's no way we would all get fed let alone anything else if I didn't wear him. Sometimes he does ok being laid down for a few minutes (like when I shower) but I don't want to lay him down for more than that yet anyway.

I've been using my Sleepy Wrap and Babyhawk MT a lot for around the house to truly be hands-free and have his weight be evenly supported. I use the SBP RS a lot for going out for easy popability, and wearing the little bitty while firmly holding the hand of the toddler or getting him in and out of the car is a necessity! I have used the Gira some too, but I'm still on a learning curve with that one and he's so teeny it's hard to get comfortable. I think I might need to wash it some more and soften it up a bunch too, it doesn't mold to me very well yet.

Aww.. your new squish is so precious! We are 5 months in to having 2, and I agree with wearing being a necessity... especially with a toddler

Yay for babywearing! There's no way I could wrangle my 3 year old and a car seat on my own.

I pouch slinged H at Target (again) and Walmart tonight.

Wore DD in the wrap twice today. We're enjoying wrapping again after a very long strike since she first learnt to walk!

No babywearing for me today. I got a chiro adjustment, and I don't want to mess it up.
