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> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads-1#post-2459960 Fri, 12 Feb 2016 13:23:59 +0000 Dahlia 2459960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Autumnmama79: We've only used the Moby, but we loved it when she was little. She took all her naps in there for a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads-1#post-2459938 Fri, 12 Feb 2016 13:14:06 +0000 Autumnmama79 2459938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dahlia: Thanks! Do you have a preference between the two? </p> <p>I only used the ergo with Lo1 so this is new territory for me... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads-1#post-2459936 Fri, 12 Feb 2016 13:13:14 +0000 Dahlia 2459936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Autumnmama79: Wraps like the Moby or Boba really aren't all that hard to figure out. I went to a local baby wearing group's meeting and they showed me. It took maybe two or three times helping DH put it on, but then he could do it himself and loved wearing DD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads-1#post-2459851 Fri, 12 Feb 2016 12:05:17 +0000 MoonMoon 2459851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO loves riding on daddy's back! :happy: </p> [attach=4377/16/o2g24t.450x600.IMG_20150601_135909.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads-1#post-2459844 Fri, 12 Feb 2016 12:00:55 +0000 KT326 2459844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love seeing baby wearing dads! My DH tried a couple times with our ergo but he would start sweating profusely and that just made him and DS uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads-1#post-2459840 Fri, 12 Feb 2016 11:57:14 +0000 Autumnmama79 2459840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DesertDreams88: Thanks mama! I was hoping we could get one wrap that we could both use that was also easy to put on, wishful thinking maybe... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads-1#post-2459786 Fri, 12 Feb 2016 11:15:51 +0000 simplyfelicity 2459786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DesertDreams88: 😍 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads-1#post-2459778 Fri, 12 Feb 2016 11:10:18 +0000 Portboston 2459778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumuckl: that was one of the first times he wore him but he probably still does it that way! I'll have to check next time. Thanks for the tip!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads-1#post-2459697 Fri, 12 Feb 2016 10:09:28 +0000 Pumuckl 2459697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Portboston: This is only based on the pic you posted but your DH seems to wear LO low on the hips (which my DH does too) that way sitting would be harder. We women tend to wear our LOs higher (kiss top of head height). That way sitting is easier. So if your DH would still be comfortable with LO sitting higher he might be able to sit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads-1#post-2459632 Fri, 12 Feb 2016 09:34:55 +0000 Portboston 2459632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh loves wearing our son in the beco. The only bad part is he feels like he can't sit with him on. So if LO falls asleep on him and we go to eat or something, he feels like he has to take him off. Whereas I can sit while wearing him. So if it's close to a nap and we're going to eat, I wear him but if we're doing more walking, DH will wear him! </p> [attach=6258/16/o2fv67.558x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads-1#post-2459571 Fri, 12 Feb 2016 09:06:42 +0000 erinbaderin 2459571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Oatmeal: Oooh, I just ordered that Tula last week and I'm so excited for it to arrive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads-1#post-2459540 Fri, 12 Feb 2016 08:51:27 +0000 DesertDreams88 2459540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnmama79: it's a boba wrap. It works well, but the k'tan is similar but easier to put on.</p> <p>Howeved, the Boba is cheaper, and one size fits all, where as the k'tan is sized so my husband and I can't share (we're significantly different in height / weight.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads-1#post-2459467 Fri, 12 Feb 2016 08:14:01 +0000 Autumnmama79 2459467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DesertDreams88: adorable!! Can I ask what kind of wrap this is and is it hard to put on? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads-1#post-2459411 Fri, 12 Feb 2016 07:35:36 +0000 Mrsk 2459411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS would pretty much only nap in the carrier, up until just recently, so if DH was home, he would take DS for naps, he also has started back carrying him and they go cross country skiing as well together. Can't find a photo right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads-1#post-2458472 Thu, 11 Feb 2016 15:27:58 +0000 sleepybear 2458472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband loves wearing DS in our hiking backpack carrier (he'll take DS on a walk around the neighborhood with it because he thinks it's easier than the stroller), but doesn't like my Lillebaby. He did try on a couple different carriers when I was trying to convince him we need a Tula, but just didn't like the way they felt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads-1#post-2458470 Thu, 11 Feb 2016 15:27:00 +0000 youboots 2458470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M carries T in the 360 often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads-1#post-2458462 Thu, 11 Feb 2016 15:23:27 +0000 PawPrints 2458462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our typical operating procedure is that when we go places together, DH carries whatever is the heaviest thing. So for quite a while now, that has pretty much always meant that DH carries LO. We are getting used to back carries now, which is an adventure - scary but fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads-1#post-2458392 Thu, 11 Feb 2016 14:41:29 +0000 Mrs. Cheesecake 2458392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I would fight over who would get to wear DD. Wearing her meant that the other had to chase DS the toddler. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads-1#post-2458338 Thu, 11 Feb 2016 14:02:17 +0000 MrsSRS 2458338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: Yeah. LO2 is eight months and i think the last time DH baby wore LO1 was a few weeks old. He's 6'10" and I think it just doesn't work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads-1#post-2458208 Thu, 11 Feb 2016 12:59:30 +0000 DesertDreams88 2458208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Day 3 of life, first thing he did when home from the hospital :) </p> [attach=5393/16/o2e9z7.337x600.20160129_174240.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads-1#post-2457962 Thu, 11 Feb 2016 10:49:28 +0000 MrsBrewer 2457962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@junebugsmama: awww!!!</p> <p>DH has never worn LO yet. Although he doesn't think the carrier (Ergo Performance) will fit him. He's a big guy, 6'4 with very broad shoulders and just built very big. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babywearing-dads-1#post-2457945 Thu, 11 Feb 2016 10:43:48 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2457945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't find a pic of dh wearing him but he's always game!
