The one with the snaps?<br /> @bpcmarj: LOL nice! Did she eventually nap in it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrying-colors#post-1027448 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 10:44:03 +0000 yoursilverlining 1027448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: It's a HotSling adjustable sling - it is sooooooo comfortable. I've always said I could carry LO all day in that thing, and yup, turns out I can! ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrying-colors#post-1027428 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 10:24:58 +0000 bpcmarj 1027428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had DD in the ergo at a cookout yesterday trying to get her to nap. My friends kept saying "can I be next in that thing? I will take a nap". Also, my friend who is pretty short eas saying that if she were holding her in it that P's legs would be kicking her in the ahins. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrying-colors#post-1027420 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 10:20:50 +0000 pastemoo 1027420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: That is so sweet! What sling? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrying-colors#post-1027408 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 10:10:40 +0000 yoursilverlining 1027408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to Disneyland a couple of weeks ago and although we did rent a stroller for E, she wanted to be carried, which I was planning on doing - so I carried her for over 7+ hours in the sling and it was SO COMFORTABLE!!! She's 14 months, and several people commented in the lines at Disney how comfy and happy she looked, and asked about the sling and how to use it, so it was nice to be able to share that knowledge with other moms/to-be-moms. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrying-colors#post-1027364 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 09:30:54 +0000 pastemoo 1027364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sloaneandpuffy: Lol. I probably would have asked where the feet were too--and then I learned how to do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrying-colors#post-1027339 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 09:10:40 +0000 pastemoo 1027339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: I &lt;3 nursing and walking! :) Congrats on your 5k! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrying-colors#post-1027290 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 08:21:17 +0000 mamimami 1027290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People always just say how cute she looks and how comfortable -- and when she's forward facing in the sling they want to know where her feet are hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrying-colors#post-1027275 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 08:02:43 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1027275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: I'm def impressed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrying-colors#post-1027273 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 07:59:14 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1027273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore Lorelei in a 5K yesterday and even jogged some. Several people were impressed at my finish time considering my "passenger" and a few were very impressed that I was able to nurse and walk at the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrying-colors#post-1027266 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 07:55:23 +0000 Boheme 1027266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: I'd love to see the ring sling video too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrying-colors#post-1027260 Sun, 18 Aug 2013 07:50:18 +0000 pastemoo 1027260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: I know, right? That's why it makes me so happy. I don't know what gets people to select a gender for a baby--their clothing doesn't seem to affect their "guess."</p> <p>@emg86: Aww that's a bummer that people didn't like the way you were carrying your daughter!</p> <p>@Espion: Was it an Ergo? Aren't they great? I hate pushing a stroller over tough terrain.... or even a parking lot. I am lazy.</p> <p>@grizz: Very cozy. :)</p> <p>@Navy_Mommy: LOL! I love your responses. I get those answers, too. You still do superman toss now that he's a toddler? I switched to the wrap under his armpits. He actually tries to lean back the second I bring out the wrap. It's hilarious!</p> <p>@Bookish: :) Cute!</p> <p>@emg86: Oh! I have to find the video on fitting a ring sling.... If I find it I will post to your wall.</p> <p>@allison: Isn't that cute? I love hearing from the old ladies.</p> <p>@glimmersnaps: YAY. That is an awesome story!</p> <p>@Mrs. Confetti: I wish I had started sooner, too!</p> <p>@scg00387: @scg00387: @scg00387: LOL. I get the "he;s half the size of you" comments, too.... but he is actually over 50% of my height at not quite 15 months</p> <p>@Foodnerd81: &lt;3 &lt;3 little baby comments! It always helps slow the time that seems to go by too quickly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrying-colors#post-1026930 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 21:45:20 +0000 Foodnerd81 1026930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only worn her a couple of times and just got a few "awwww so little" comments. I had her in the moby yesterday and realized it was wrapped totally wrong after she was settled so I just left it and kept a hand on her but them I felt like other people were judging me for doing if wrong- so dumb, and probably payback for any time I judged :))</p> <p>I did have a lady who was with a group of senior citizens ask me to turn do they could all see her little face since old people live babies :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrying-colors#post-1026906 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 21:30:42 +0000 immabeetoo 1026906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: ha! my boba has a purple print and we get loads of daughter comments</p> <p>I just get lots of "wow that looks cozy!" and "he's half the size of you!". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrying-colors#post-1026895 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 21:25:40 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1026895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No awesome stories here - I still wear C 2-3 times a day to walk the dog and he is hovering around 25 lbs. I only wish I had gotten the hang of baby wearing sooner with him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrying-colors#post-1026882 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 21:19:13 +0000 glimmersnaps 1026882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was putting my newborn in my new Action Baby Carrier and because she is small I crisscross the straps in the back. I have to do one strap, then pick her up, then do the other. </p> <p>Well the other day as we were getting out of the car to go into the store, she was crying so I just quickly picked her up without getting that first strap done. (I'm programmed to the Ergo still!) Anyway this nice lady was walking by and totally helped me out. And she was cool about it... not all judgmental like some people get. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrying-colors#post-1026873 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 21:15:41 +0000 emg86 1026873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy: Thanks for the tip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrying-colors#post-1026858 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 21:09:29 +0000 Navy_Mommy 1026858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@emg86: make sure the fabric isn't bunched up under her knees. You want there to be fabric up to her knees, just not extra bunched up there if that makes any sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrying-colors#post-1026856 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 21:07:51 +0000 Navy_Mommy 1026856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: I responded! Wonder why I didn't get an email notification...? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrying-colors#post-1026849 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 21:01:15 +0000 emg86 1026849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: Yeah, I loved my ring sling until she stopped wanting her feet in the froggie position...then I could never figure out how to get her legs out and not have them turn purple. I need to work on it! We've been using our Boba SSC and love it so much! Maybe I'll give the Moby a try when it cools down a little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrying-colors#post-1026846 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 20:57:34 +0000 Boheme 1026846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy: I posted a babywearing question on your wall :) I knew you'd know the answer to it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrying-colors#post-1026844 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 20:57:00 +0000 Boheme 1026844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@emg86: Its HOT! I recently got a ring sling though, and it is much cooler. If DS still likes being worn when he's got good head control I might splurge on a woven wrap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrying-colors#post-1026842 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 20:54:50 +0000 allison 1026842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: that is so mean that his family makes fun of him for wearing her! :( I think it's sweet, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrying-colors#post-1026840 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 20:53:48 +0000 allison 1026840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just always get things like "that's such a great idea!" when wearing LO in the Ergo. It's usually older ladies--I guess they're not familiar with the SSCs. Interestingly enough, my DS is never mistaken for a girl, even though we make a point to buy gender-neutral clothing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrying-colors#post-1026772 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 20:13:02 +0000 Bookish 1026772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH wears her more than I do, and his family made fun of him for it :/ I think it's super sweet!!! We do get a lot of "is it a boy or girl" even when she's wearing pink! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrying-colors#post-1026763 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 20:05:01 +0000 Navy_Mommy 1026763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People have been telling me since W was about 3 months old, "you won't be able to carry him like that much longer!" I now laugh and say, "they've been telling me that for over a year now!" </p> <p>Or when he's wrapped on my back people ask how I got him up there and I mimick how I superman toss him and on more than one occasion someone has exclaimed, "is that safe!?" And I always respond, "probably not..." and walk away, hahahahaha. Obviously I wouldn't do it if it wasn't safe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrying-colors#post-1026757 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 19:57:15 +0000 emg86 1026757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: LOL, I've gotten that question too! How do you like your Moby? I've never used mine cause I've heard it gets HOT and it already feels like we're in an oven around here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-carrying-colors#post-1026735 Sat, 17 Aug 2013 19:39:26 +0000 Boheme 1026735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always have people ask me if DS can breathe when he's in the Moby. Yep, he's just cozy in there :) </p>
