It took me some time to break it in, so if you find a used one, I'd go for it. But I'm looking forward to using it with my newborn this time around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-becos-ring-sling#post-2688396 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 23:19:29 +0000 bookwormmama 2688396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wheres_c: thanks for the input! That's what I'm worried about...a lot of people said it's pretty thick, and I remember being so hot during the first couple months postpartum last time, I don't want to add to it! I'm much further north than you, but our summers are still in the 80's-90's and humid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-becos-ring-sling#post-2688394 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 23:13:09 +0000 wheres_c 2688394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the beco after not being able to justify the $$ for a sakura.<br /> Honestly I haven't quite got the hang of it yet. The fabric is really heavy also - I'm in Texas and I think it would be too hot for our summers.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-becos-ring-sling#post-2688393 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 23:09:33 +0000 bookwormmama 2688393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MenagerieMama: @peaches1038: thanks for the advice on getting a broken in carrier...that never crossed my mind! I'll keep an eye on that Facebook group and at consignment stores in my area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-becos-ring-sling#post-2688373 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 22:02:12 +0000 peaches1038 2688373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't tried the beco RS but I agree with @MenagerieMama: in that a used sling is so great bc it's already broken in. I bought one new and it took foreverrrrr to break in.<br /> Babywearing on a budget is a great fb group.<br /> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/156002947911287/" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/groups/156002947911287/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-becos-ring-sling#post-2688368 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 21:38:33 +0000 MenagerieMama 2688368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't tried it but got a really nice and broken in used Sakura Bloom RS on a b/s/t group for $50. Maybe try there if that's what you really want? I didn't want to deal with breaking in anyhow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-tried-becos-ring-sling#post-2688122 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 14:35:16 +0000 bookwormmama 2688122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am due with #2 this June and would like to try to babywear a lot with this baby. I had a ktan with my DS but it was a little tight and would definitely be too small now. I also didn't love it so I'm not interested in replacing it. I also have an Ergo, but will be selling it for something with better lumbar support. I like the idea of a ring sling for early on and have been looking at options.</p> <p>I was looking at the Sakura Bloom after seeing lots of recommendations for it, but while looking I stumbled across a Beco ring sling for half the price ($55). I've found some reviews and a lot of people really it, especially for the price point, but several people mentioned that they disliked the weight and feel of the fabric. I'm worried it could be too hot for summer and about the possibility of skin rashes if the fabric is too rough. Has anyone here tried it? Any comments? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-post-csection#post-2569277 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 21:24:45 +0000 Purpledaisy 2569277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just started using my Solly wrap yesterday at 8 days postpartum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-post-csection#post-2569201 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 18:51:39 +0000 meadow 2569201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks all!! I tried my boba out today and it was awesome!!!!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-post-csection#post-2567919 Wed, 15 Jun 2016 12:22:13 +0000 ValentineMommy 2567919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wheres_c: My hospital provided them. However, I switched to my own once I got home. With DS1 I used the Belly Bandit Bamboo. It was ok, but I couldn't stand how it would roll, and it also hit me right where my incision was. With DS2, I got a Bellefit, and while it was a PAIN to get on, it was amazing and comfy. Loved it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-post-csection#post-2566803 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 09:54:22 +0000 Happygal 2566803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Goose: I think you meausre your hips and look at the measurements they provide. I went off jean sizing for me. I would order down if in doubt b/c you want it to be snug. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-post-csection#post-2566780 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 09:47:18 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2566780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: how do you pick the right size? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-post-csection#post-2566683 Tue, 14 Jun 2016 08:28:51 +0000 Happygal 2566683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wheres_c: this was the one recommended by my OB: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009D01ZRA/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009D01ZRA/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-post-csection#post-2566493 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 20:46:37 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2566493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meadow: I felt so much more human wearing a belly bandit and I could walk around with more confidence, not so gingerly, while holding my stomach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-post-csection#post-2566490 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 20:42:45 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2566490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wheres_c: I used a belly bandit from a friend. It was a lifesaver for walking around at all and I wore it under carriers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-post-csection#post-2566190 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 13:24:38 +0000 wheres_c 2566190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: @ValentineMommy: where did you get your binders? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-post-csection#post-2566167 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 13:08:28 +0000 meadow 2566167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow! Thanks all! I have an abdominal support band that I hadn't worn yet - I'm going to give it a whirl then maybe try wrapping!</p> <p>Thanks for giving me hope that this is do-able :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-post-csection#post-2566035 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 10:36:47 +0000 BSB 2566035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore one of the babies at 7-8 weeks using the Moby. I would think its okay since I was given a belly band /compression thing the day after my c-section.</p> <p>Good luck on tandeming. I don't think I tried it until the babies were like 3 months. I used two woven wraps using the jasmine carry with rings and it was a mess. I'm apart of the tandem Babywearing FB group and they have some great options to try. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-post-csection#post-2565993 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 09:54:23 +0000 Coffee-lover 2565993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started using the boba wrap 2 days after my c section. You can put it on high enough that it is nowhere near the incision. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-post-csection#post-2565982 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 09:34:07 +0000 ValentineMommy 2565982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I babywore once I got home, using a soft wrap (I used the k'tan). I also used an abdominal binder, which definitely helped. I wasn't able to babywear without it for a few weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-post-csection#post-2565981 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 09:27:41 +0000 Happygal 2565981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found a stretchy wrap to be just fine right away. And our SSC was ok for around the house since she was still so little and light. I also wore a abdominal binder which helped me to feel supported and gave a little extra cushioning in that department. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-post-csection#post-2565969 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 09:16:38 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2565969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I started around 2.5 weeks with a soft wrap and wore her while I ate dinner or did some cooking. It was really useful. I didn't ask my doctor, but I wished I had a ring sling at the time so I didn't put any pressure or weight on my incision or tummy. It was pretty uncomfortable sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-post-csection#post-2565943 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 08:47:34 +0000 winter_wonder 2565943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started wearing the boba around week 4, but not for long periods of time [3 hours or so) and a lot of that time I was sitting. I noticed if I did too much babywearing while standing I was a bit sore. I never checked with my midwife about it, but it might be a good idea to ask.</p> <p>My LO still loves the boba at 2.5 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-post-csection#post-2565935 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 08:37:06 +0000 lovehoneybee 2565935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started wearing her within a day of coming home. The only restriction I was given was to not carry anything heavier than the baby for at least two weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-post-csection#post-2565928 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 08:33:10 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2565928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore while still in the hospital with all three. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-post-csection#post-2565900 Mon, 13 Jun 2016 08:01:26 +0000 meadow 2565900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FTM ....I have a boba wrap I plan to use with my twins. Those of you who baby wore post csection.... how long did you wait? Did you get clearance from your doctor or just decide on your own? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads-1#post-2460236 Fri, 12 Feb 2016 15:37:53 +0000 MoonMoon 2460236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: aww, thank you.

I didn't see any replies soon after I had initially posted! Didn't realize there were so many now. Thank you -- I adore the pictures of dad carrying all the LOs. SO, so cute. DH didn't do much carrying with our son, but I'm hoping he's up to it for our next! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads-1#post-2459962 Fri, 12 Feb 2016 13:24:57 +0000 Autumnmama79 2459962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dahlia: Good to know. Something for when baby is little is just what I'm looking for. </p>
