I'm going to need one of those once we start back-carrying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-carry-for-babywearing#post-2249879 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 12:29:25 +0000 Foodnerd81 2249879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Huh- I always wore it just above my hips. It was comfortable that way and felt like the weight was on my hips, not shoulders, but I was glad it was winter and I had lots of layers on. It's hard to see a muffin top with a giant fleece on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-carry-for-babywearing#post-2249788 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 11:46:34 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2249788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I haven't gone to an actual BWI meeting, but online in my local Facebook group they seem to suggest wearing the straps at your natural waist for front carry and at your hips for back carries. I am definitely gonna try it higher up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-carry-for-babywearing#post-2249740 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 11:12:15 +0000 snowjewelz 2249740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My babywearing group suggests to buckle between boobs and stomach too, so they are as high as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-carry-for-babywearing#post-2249657 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 10:13:09 +0000 AmandaB8 2249657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put the tula waistband on my ribcage too, so all of my belly is below it. And it doesn't look awkward at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-carry-for-babywearing#post-2249517 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 08:42:16 +0000 avivoca 2249517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG, that is brilliant. I need one.</p> <p>I also try to get her higher on my back by having the band up near my ribcage. Otherwise, it hurts my lower back/hips. I also just try not to look down at my ridiculous muffin top. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-carry-for-babywearing#post-2249469 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 08:16:14 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2249469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A tip that I learned was to bring the band up to my ribs. So it digs into my rib cage and looks much more flattering. Also, it puts him up higher on my back so he can see more over my shoulder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-carry-for-babywearing#post-2249468 Thu, 30 Jul 2015 08:12:04 +0000 MamaBehr 2249468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 18 weeks pregnant and when I wear my LO on my back I just look like I have a REALLY big muffin top, so I just untuck my shirt from the waist strap and have the shirt covering the waist strap. I don't know if it REALLY helps, but it makes me feel better! I've also seen pictures of moms wearing their tulas with the waist band high around their rib cage without a baby bump, so you could try that :) </p> <p>I want to get a comfort tummy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-carry-for-babywearing#post-2249340 Wed, 29 Jul 2015 23:37:47 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2249340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sera_87: omg, brilliant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-carry-for-babywearing#post-2249337 Wed, 29 Jul 2015 23:05:06 +0000 sera_87 2249337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Or you could get a comfort tummy off etsy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-carry-for-babywearing#post-2249336 Wed, 29 Jul 2015 22:59:19 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2249336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put babywearing in quotes cause I hate that expression! I do love to carry my big little guy in my carriers though. </p> <p>I know once they grow to a certain weight supposedly the back is more comfortable with ssc like my tula. All the pics I see online look so cute with happy babies and cute skinny mamas. Well that's not how I look at all! The strap totally digs in and seperates my belly into two unflattering and uncomfortable sections. </p> <p>I need to learn how to use my babyhawk on the back, I could at least tie it higher up! </p>
