The few times I've tried have been an epic fail. </p> <p>My DH wasn't super into it, but he had his own Beco Gemini and liked it for a while when DS was really little. This is on of my favorite pics from those super early newborn days. DS had been so grumpy and DH put him in the carrier and he was out like a light. </p> [attach=2504/15/nmlicm.600x450.IMG_0002.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads#post-2139626 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 09:39:25 +0000 whenoceansrise 2139626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH wears M often in our ring sling!

At home in the moby when she was tiny and out and about in our boba 3G or now our Tula. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads#post-2139589 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 09:17:49 +0000 teawithpaloma 2139589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's my guy in our hiking carrier. </p> [attach=5258/15/nmlh1p.450x600.10251886_10100923618812400_3334476518070928269_n.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads#post-2139587 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 09:13:44 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2139587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: @twodoghouse: got it. I see the big difference between him and the HB dads doing it right. Thanks</p> <p>@Mae: oh yeah, men doing the dishes with a towel over one shoulder is hot just like men babywearing! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads#post-2139578 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 09:07:15 +0000 Mae 2139578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: common theme with celebrity baby wearing pics... its awesome they are getting more people interested but sooo many of them carry their babies in unsafe ways. Sort of a bummer. </p> <p>My DH isn't into baby wearing. When she was a newborn he would wear her in the moby because it was the only thing that would calm her down a lot. He could wrap it himself and did great with it. But once she got bigger I switched to a ring sling and then a woven wrap. He isn't interested in wearing her in those. Both because it isn't really necessary (he never goes out with her alone and I like wearing her out when we are together, and she doesn't like being worn around the house anyways), and also because he things ring slings and wraps are too feminine. Granted, I have a rainbow wrap :) I totally disagree and tried showing him pics of men wrapping in rainbow wraps (and the inevitable comments from every mom about how hot that is! lol) but he remains unconvinced. Oh well lol. If we had a SSC he'd probably wear her but we don't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads#post-2139561 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 08:51:05 +0000 twodoghouse 2139561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: You want to keep baby close enough to kiss! That way you can make sure baby's airway is clear and she's safe. That kind of sling keeps baby pretty low, although I've seen some hacks with a scarf that you can use the sling with the baby in a more traditional position (upright with butt below knees). I think the concern with the baby in that pic would be making sure her airway is clear. It looks like her chin is on her chest which isn't ideal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads#post-2139559 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 08:49:21 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2139559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: not to be the baby wearing police, but the way that baby has her neck bent could restrict her airway. Babies should be close enough to kiss, </p> <p>@MenagerieMama: it's like he's carrying a purse not a person.</p> <p>[attach=1339/15/nmlfq9.424x600.TICKS_Sling_Safety.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads#post-2139557 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 08:48:05 +0000 autumnlove 2139557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband doesn't really like it and hasn't done it since LO 1 was a baby. He says he will try it again when baby 3 arrives! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads#post-2139552 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 08:47:06 +0000 CakeLady 2139552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When DS was really little, DH wore him in the ktan and the Moby.

DH is almost 6 inches taller than me and we liked being able to leave the carriers in our cars already sizes. Hardly ever used a stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads#post-2139534 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 08:40:00 +0000 rattles 2139534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has his own K'tan, and we share the Beco Gemini.

He started with the K'tan, then the Bjorn, and finally the Ergo which was most comfortable for him. </p> <p>He got soo much attention while baby wearing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads#post-2139527 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 08:38:20 +0000 MenagerieMama 2139527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: that's what I thought! Would take some creativity for him to kiss the baby on the head...</p> <p>DH will occasionally babywear. She used to only nap in the Moby so if I was gone and he was on duty that's what he'd do. Now he'll use the Ergo or did just experiment with my maya sling (looked up you tube videos on different carries and would send me pics, it was cute) so he could do some chores around the house with LO. He gets bored just playing with her so on daddy days he gets a lot done! Otherwise I'm the one wearing her when we're out and about. He uses the stroller for treks by himself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads#post-2139526 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 08:38:19 +0000 snowjewelz 2139526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have pics but we got DH his own Ergo for wearing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads#post-2139519 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 08:35:57 +0000 avivoca 2139519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH wears H in the Ergo when he needs to walk the dog and I'm not home.

It was a surefire way to get DS to nap during his fussy stage - DH would pop him in and then do chores around the house or take the dog for a walk. (And mama got to take a nap or shower!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads#post-2139501 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 08:31:19 +0000 JessKas 2139501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH wore LO in the ergo all the time.

Actually maybe more now that she's a very heavy toddler.<br /> He wraps and uses SCC's but he has his own wrap conversion mei tei with dragon hood which he adores. :)</p> <p>[attach=2195/15/nmlevt.600x600.image.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2195/15/nmlevu.600x600.image.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2195/15/nmlevv.600x600.image.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2195/15/nmlf4a.600x600.image.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2195/15/nmlf4c.600x600.image.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2195/15/nmlf4d.396x600.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads#post-2139498 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 08:29:44 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2139498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH loves to babywearing, I don't think I have any pics though.</p> <p>That actor is carrying her soooooo low! </p>
