Maybe you could get a deeper seat? That bunny must be a seat popper ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional/page/2#post-1202688 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 16:08:51 +0000 heartonastring 1202688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, I'm the world's biggest loser.....my first woven was just delivered, but DD is sleeping. But obviously I had to try the wrap......</p> <p>[attach=500/13/mvww2r.448x600.image.jpg]</p> <p>I think the stuffed bunny is pretty comfy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional/page/2#post-1199839 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 14:26:23 +0000 Navy_Mommy 1199839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: I can't bring myself to jump on the handwoven bandwagon. I really love my machine woven wraps. I think they're beautiful and wrap just fine. I've gotten to touch an uppy, not wrap with it, and it didn't do anything for me so I'm just going to continue to be happy with my more mainstream wraps! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional/page/2#post-1199833 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 14:24:46 +0000 Navy_Mommy 1199833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: Lol. I've been trying to get a perfect stash in preparation of having two under 2 come January. It's a lovely mix of bamboo blends and hemp blends, lol. And then I'll be good until someone releases something that I just HAVE to have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional/page/2#post-1199828 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 14:22:55 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1199828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy: Stashified? What is this "stashified" of which you speak? I just like variety, maybe? So I want to try all. Right now I have good angel/bad angel dialog about Uppys and Farideh. Good angel says, "They're nice, but you don't NEED to try one." Bad angel says, "The swap is slow. You must try everything. Try one before you have to steal someone else's kid to test it out on. Your babies are getting ooooooolder." Currently they are at an even truce, which is how my wallet prefers it. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional/page/2#post-1199791 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 14:12:47 +0000 Navy_Mommy 1199791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: My Milky Way sold yesterday :-) I'm so close to stashified I can taste it and I got the notification that Shiny Star is starting on my dragon full buckle (which is primarily for my husband with Baby2) and my zebra pod (which I won designing a business card for them) AND they chose me to be a tester for their Onbu so I need to mail them a wrap for that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional/page/2#post-1194642 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 11:19:33 +0000 Weagle 1194642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: I have nothing up right now. I've been selling a few SSCs to friends in order to save up pp for a WCMT whenever #2 comes along. I hate it's so slow though! Checking out the new goods every night was part of my bedtime routine :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional/page/2#post-1194445 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 09:38:42 +0000 Navy_Mommy 1194445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: fours are my favorite. Short back cross carry with a candy cane chest belt - best thing that ever happened to me, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional/page/2#post-1194431 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 09:33:47 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1194431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy: Uh huh. Cause I don't see ANY ulterior motive there... ;) I saw it up. It is pretty, but I don't do 4s. They are too long/short. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional/page/2#post-1194428 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 09:32:37 +0000 Navy_Mommy 1194428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: so pretty and broken in and supportive.. lol </p> [attach=1264/13/mvqtqe.375x600.IMG_21048612105552.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional/page/2#post-1194417 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 09:25:04 +0000 Navy_Mommy 1194417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: how about a size 4 milky way sky blue. It's to die for but when you buy a shiny sky (also star print and a hemp blend) your husband says one has got to go, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional/page/2#post-1194415 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 09:23:18 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1194415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy: That's what I assumed, anyway. That it was holidays related. Got any ideas for an ISO for me? ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional/page/2#post-1194413 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 09:22:15 +0000 heartonastring 1194413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The swap is so slow that I actually checked on FB yesterday to make sure I hadn't accidentally deleted the group, because I'd seen almost no swap posts in my newsfeed for the last week or so! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional/page/2#post-1194404 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 09:18:14 +0000 Navy_Mommy 1194404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG the swap is so slow it's like pulling teeth!! Stupid responsible people saving up for the holidays, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional/page/2#post-1194357 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 08:43:31 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1194357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: The swap DIED. I had a couple of things and had to have the patience of a saint for them to move. It helped that I wasn't all that motivated to see them go in the first place. One of them I actually gifted to a mama whose little boy has cystic fibrosis. Her story just touched me so much that it seemed like the right thing to do. Other than that, I I had two other wraps go. I am hoping to take advantage of the slow swap at some point, but not really sure what I want. What do you have up?</p> <p>@Arden: Don't let them tell him for a while, so he still loves me at least until the funeral is done ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional/page/2#post-1194176 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 00:14:09 +0000 Arden 1194176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This made me chuckle today... </p> [attach=2195/13/mvq3vl.555x406.a4c32235cf29949842f1873251d82b10.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional/page/2#post-1181944 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 12:26:16 +0000 Weagle 1181944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have anything on the swap now? I'm debating trying to churn a few things, but it seems kind of slow right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional/page/2#post-1178891 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 11:45:54 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1178891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: I will wall you the details. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional/page/2#post-1178863 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 11:37:27 +0000 Arden 1178863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: It says I don't have permission to view the page. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional/page/2#post-1178828 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 11:28:50 +0000 junebugmama 1178828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: I haven't paid for anything in over a year. I trade or do conversions for the rest of the wrap and then make something for myself :) He doesn't understand that I'm giving away $200 of services, so he doesn't mind lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional/page/2#post-1178817 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 11:24:20 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1178817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugmama: That is too funny! I just saw it and thought of @Arden because I know she was looking for something more reasonably priced. I would get it myself were it not for the fact that Mr. T might do to me what your husband threatened if you got an Uppy ;) I have enough. At this point I mostly try to make it cash-neutral, so in/out in equal measure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional#post-1178803 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 11:21:01 +0000 junebugmama 1178803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: @Arden: The Mom that's selling that I know! She is the queen of baby wearing here lol. She takes amazing care of her stuff too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional#post-1178788 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 11:17:24 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1178788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: What do you think of this? I'm not a huge fan of the buggies (too cartoony?) but it's a good price, storchs are rock-solid, and it looks like a pretty good conversion. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10201417029565553&#038;set=gm.670134486342186&#038;type=1&#038;relevant_count=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10201417029565553&#038;set=gm.670134486342186&#038;type=1&#038;relevant_count=1</a><br /> Mayas are under-rated in my personal opinion. :) But I don't like the padding.<br /> @junebugmama: That is precious. Mr. T is one of those dads who really likes them as they start getting older and more interactive, so he is really close with Ellie and starting to get moreso with Lorelei now that she is interested in riding in the combine and can talk more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional#post-1178760 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 11:10:20 +0000 junebugmama 1178760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: Our littlest constantly yearned to be held. I think my husband started wearing because he realized his was missing out on a bond with him. I'm pregnant now and he keeps saying "this baby is mine. I'm going to wear it all day long" It's pretty funny. He also claims he's going to hold it while I breastfeed lol! </p> <p>@Arden: Maya RS' are great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional#post-1178632 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:41:23 +0000 Boheme 1178632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: I have that one in the Berries colorway, and the tail makes a perfect cover/baby distractor. It keeps C busy to be able to hold the tail and flap it up and down while he nurses. This is a size medium, so plenty of tail left! </p> [attach=3221/13/mvdy8z.600x571.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional#post-1178537 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:19:40 +0000 Arden 1178537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: I love this one - <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Lightly-Padded-Sling-Carrier-MEDIUM/dp/B002ITDA9Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1382973476&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=maya+wrap" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Lightly-Padded-Sling-Carrier-MEDIUM/dp/B002ITDA9Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1382973476&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=maya+wrap</a><br /> And I thought the tail would make an excellent nursing cover. Not that I'm shy about nursing, but Vi is starting to get easily distracted so it might come in handy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional#post-1178527 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:16:33 +0000 Boheme 1178527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: I have two Maya slings, one with a padded shoulder, and one unpadded, and I really like them! I prefer the padded shoulder. I wear it for several hours every weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional#post-1178487 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 10:03:19 +0000 Arden 1178487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thoughts from the experts on the Maya Wrap Ring Sling for someone who can't afford a nice wrap conversion right now? </p> <p>We used the k'tan in the beginning (and loved it) and now we use an ergo (which we also love) and a gifted ring sling that we like but don't love. I'm looking at the Maya but I want to make sure it's good for baby first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional#post-1178416 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 09:34:10 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1178416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: Well there would be a benefit if the child was in a carrier that had questionable positioning, like a Bjorn or some of the slings... but with good anatomic positioning, I wouldn't worry about switching up unless you were doing it for fun... which so many mamas do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/a-toddler-wearing-confessional#post-1177853 Sun, 27 Oct 2013 22:47:55 +0000 Boheme 1177853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: I volunteered mine for testing, and they declined saying there wasn't enough time before the story aired. That pediatrician who spoke really did a disservice to moms who might be open to banked milk or shared milk! </p>
