Baby wearing

I'm moving to a new city and of course signed up for the local NINO group in that city on yahoo groups! I really had a hard time wearing him at first, I've got scoliosis and a rod in my back. But I got into it again when my son decided he hates looking at peoples knees in a stroller. So I'm back in the swing of things again, he's over 30 pounds and he goes into my mei hip great. He loves talking to me when he's in it, he points at things and asks "what's that", it's a great learning experience for him.

Yes, I wear my 18 month old everyday and have been wearing him since birth. It is so rewarding for both of us!! I really couldn't imagine my life without babywearing. My favorite carrier is a Mei Tai. I really want to love wraps but I just can't seem to master them. We just got a "local" NINO chapter but it is still pretty far from me. They are looking for a coleader for my side of the water and I have thought about volunteering but I'm not sure I have the time to devote the appropriate amount to that responsiblity. I just got a Sakura Bloom ring sling and am having trouble with that as well. I don't think ring slings and I are a good match either but I'm going to try to work it out, lol.

I wore my son for the first year of his life (now I´m 7 months pregnant and it´s a lot harder), and when he´s fussy I still strap him on my back. Since I live in Guatemala, we use a "suti" which is a square of cloth folded in half diagonally. You tie the folded corners together over one shoulder and slip the baby in against your body, tucking the triangle point under his body. It´s very easy once you learn and versatile since you can move him from front to hip to back with ease.

i am a member of thebabywearer.com and i didnt know all kinds of slings and pouches until i joined the forum. i was so excited and i purchased our first pouch which is hotsling fleece size 4 and we loved it so much we had to buy more. hotslings are our favorite so far, i will definitely try other things. i love wearing my daughter everywhere, especially where im at because they dont really know what slings and pouches are. and when i wore my daughter, they looked at me like they havent seen anything like it before. our ped loves our pouch.

I LOVE B'wearing! I have a sling obsession, honestly.....I can't stop buying them....I wear both of my babies, my 20 month old, and my 7 month old, and, recently, at the same time! I have pouches for both of them, and they love riding on mommy together. It makes quick trips into the store during naps so much easier! I love putting the baby in a wrap when we go to the park, so I can chase after the toddler, and he is safe and snug!

AP is so very uncommon where I live that I didn't get started wearing my daughter until she was already a chunky seven or eight months old - I loved the New Native Baby Carrier with her, as I didn't have to adjust anything at all. Just throw it on and go. The Walking Rock Farm Hip Carrier was lovely as well, when she was a bit bigger. I'm so looking forward to wearing my next baby more often - and since s/he is due in November, it'll have the added bonus of extra warmth. I'll definitely check out TheBabyWearer.com as I'm sure I have more to learn. I do have a wrap-style carrier (that I can't for anything remember the name of) that I need to practice using a bit before this little one arrives! :)
