In comparing the pictures, K is such a little peanut! I can't wait to see more photos of her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-ktan-am-i-wearing-her-right#post-651002 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 21:38:46 +0000 shopaholic 651002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mole: For realz! Thanks for the pic to illustrate too. I need to get her higher - maybe when she's a little bigger or I can put a pillow inside under her bum! heehee<br /> * And YOU look GREAT PP too!!! whoo hoo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-ktan-am-i-wearing-her-right#post-650878 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 20:32:11 +0000 mole 650878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the K'tan tonight to walk the dogs. This is what I meant about tucking his head. </p> [attach=1435/13/mjvw9o.448x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-ktan-am-i-wearing-her-right#post-650419 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 15:58:20 +0000 lemondrop 650419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No input here besides- she's so teeny tiny!

I try to get the fabric supporting his head like the stock photo you posted (where the fabric is over the very back of the baby's head but not covering his face). </p> <p>This lack of clarity just illustrates how difficult it is to learn how to work these dang wraps using printed instructions. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-ktan-am-i-wearing-her-right#post-650320 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 15:30:09 +0000 SugarplumsMom 650320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Damn, you don't look like you just had a baby!

I die ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-ktan-am-i-wearing-her-right#post-650256 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 15:00:58 +0000 Cara M. 17 650256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any advice but wanted to say you look phenomenal and baby shopaholic looks so sweet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-ktan-am-i-wearing-her-right#post-650235 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 14:51:39 +0000 edelweiss 650235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so cutie!</p> <p>like others have said, the chin is not supposed to touch the chest, but i couldn't really get that to happen with that hold. i didn't worry about it too much as long as he was breathing and not spitting up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-ktan-am-i-wearing-her-right#post-650156 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 14:28:32 +0000 littlebittyhouse 650156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: rules of thumb are that she should be high enough that you are able to kiss her head and that the chin is off their chest.</p> <p>I know you're using a k'tan but this is a good (moby) instruction sheet on how to get them in the 'pocket' </p> <p><a href="http://www.mobywrap.com/mw/newborn-hug.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.mobywrap.com/mw/newborn-hug.htm</a></p> <p>Also: It takes practice! Someone once told me that baby wearing is a bizarre skill set to have, and it is true! It is not typically something that you can call someone and say "Hi, can you come over and show me how to wear my baby" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-ktan-am-i-wearing-her-right#post-650122 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 14:14:47 +0000 shopaholic 650122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebittyhouse: oh not preachy at all! I couldn't figure out how to get her higher! The newborn instructions didn't say how to use the extra band. I will have to look and try it again!</p> <p>@mole: I want to wear her properly but the instructions say to not cover her head? So confusing!</p> <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: @Smurfette: @littlebittyhouse: @hergreenapples: @mrsjyw: @tororojo: Thanks ladies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-ktan-am-i-wearing-her-right#post-650082 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 14:03:55 +0000 tororojo 650082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a k'tan, but K looks so cute all snuggled up inside! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-ktan-am-i-wearing-her-right#post-650067 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 13:57:51 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 650067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first thought was how good you look! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-ktan-am-i-wearing-her-right#post-650061 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 13:56:40 +0000 mole 650061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You look great! I think the only thing is you want her head to be more upright so she has a fully open airway. I usually tuck his head in the fabric to support it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-ktan-am-i-wearing-her-right#post-650049 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 13:54:08 +0000 mrsjyw 650049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not a k'tan user, but you look effing amazing my friend xo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-ktan-am-i-wearing-her-right#post-650048 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 13:54:08 +0000 heartonastring 650048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice...my baby isn't here yet, but I just wanted to say how great you look and how adorable K is!</p> <p>Also, this makes me wish that someone would buy the K'Tan off my registry already! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-ktan-am-i-wearing-her-right#post-650041 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 13:51:25 +0000 littlebittyhouse 650041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: first off - you look amazing! </p> <p>I would try to get her head up a little more - you don't want to have her chin tucked forward too much because it will restrict her airway.</p> <p>You can use the shoulder strap of the k'tan to hold LO's head in place.</p> <p>There is a great picture on this site showing how the babe should be on your chest:</p> <p><a href="http://www.babyktan.com/safetyqa.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.babyktan.com/safetyqa.html</a></p> <p>Edit to include: I don't mean to be preachy its just really important for breathing and development that they are positioned correctly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-ktan-am-i-wearing-her-right#post-650032 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 13:47:51 +0000 Smurfette 650032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: You do look great!

An I seem to have more of my side boob area exposed than the picture.
