Who out in this mylot world wears their baby?
would love to hear experiences from other parents with babywearing. I'm hooked on it! It makes it so much easier to get things done especially now that my little man is teething. I found it great for bonding too after a traumatic birth where he was in special care for 2 weeks.
There are so many other choices out there than the typical baby bjornish style carriers that it's mind boggling.
So far I have a few wraps, a mei tai and pouches. It may sound a bit much but each serve different purposes but I won't go into that now because I could be here all day and night!
Look forward to hearing from you!

When my boys were smaller I loved wearing them in my sling. It was one of the best baby purchases I ever made. The sling made it easier to carry them and I felt like we bonded better because of it.

I loved the baby carrier, I had 3 kids under 5, the carrier enable me to take the bus and go down town, it was great because it kept my hands free so I could take care of the other two. I had one in the carrier,one in the umbrella stroller, love those , light easy to handle, and my oldset had to hold on to the stroller. Man that was a long time ago, how did I do it? lol

My kids are too big to do this now, but when they were babies I used a baby carrier. I loved using it as it kept my hands free so I could do other things, yet I could still keep my babies close to me at the same time. :)

Hi there! I used the baby carrier for a little while w/ my son..then as he got older, he refused to face toward me..so I tried facing him outward. He loved this seeing as it made it easier to grab things off the counter. He would litterally wait until I got close enough to something, plan his attack then shoot his hand out so fast it would catch me off guard!! LOL I eventually caught on to his game and we unfortunatly had to discontinue using it. It definitly is a good way to bond. I wish I could've used it longer!
