She liked it more and she was a lot smaller so she got worn for a lot longer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-wear-1-or-2-more#post-2207850 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 08:29:51 +0000 yin 2207850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#2 still requests to be worn at 19 months. We were always on the go with LO1, and LO2 needed to be worn in order to make it easier on us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-wear-1-or-2-more#post-2207831 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 07:49:20 +0000 travellingbee 2207831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope #2 likes it better. #1 hated being worn. He's never been snugly it was hot, but this one will be born in Jan so hopefully... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-wear-1-or-2-more#post-2207829 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 07:45:22 +0000 yellowbird 2207829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#2 way, way more. I wear him multiple times a day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-wear-1-or-2-more#post-2207800 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 06:43:32 +0000 sorrycharlie 2207800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Way more! I used the ergo often with DD1 but use the ring sling daily, if not multiple times a day. It's only a couple months old and it's insanely broken in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-wear-1-or-2-more#post-2207796 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 06:37:19 +0000 Amelieisme 2207796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, as others have said, I wore #2 a lot more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-wear-1-or-2-more#post-2207765 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 03:34:46 +0000 erinpye 2207765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO1 loved it and I wore her all the time. LO2 just never really liked it, so I did a handful of times, but the last times I tried she screamed, flailed, and arched in protest. I *wish* she would have let me wear her because it would have made life with 2 much easier. The angst trying to get her to do it wasn't worth it. Mine are just 2 completely different kids when it comes to babywearing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-wear-1-or-2-more#post-2207754 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 01:48:05 +0000 lemondrop 2207754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely! #2 didn't have a choice in the matter of being worn, I had to so I could chase his big bro. I wish I had gotten one of the sport Ergo's before he was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-wear-1-or-2-more#post-2207706 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 22:41:51 +0000 QBbride 2207706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore #1 a lot but I'm sure I'll wear #2 even more since out of necessity we'll be out and about enjoying the summer!! I just bought a linen ring sling. </p> <p>Definitely spring for a Tula. Their resale value is so high that it basically won't cost you anything once you sell it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-wear-1-or-2-more#post-2207686 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 21:55:08 +0000 blackbird 2207686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: the linen sling? I haven't bought it yet! I have a girasol sling, a girasol wrap, and a didymos wrap. All wovens and quite warm </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-wear-1-or-2-more#post-2207655 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 21:03:26 +0000 anbanan15 2207655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my 18 mo old also fits my standard Tula very well still so I will probably tandem her. She finally will allow me to back carry. I may get a toddler Tula eventually, but she is small and a standard will fit her for a long time yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-wear-1-or-2-more#post-2207651 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 21:01:12 +0000 anbanan15 2207651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#1 more only because #2 hated every carrier I owned until I got a Tula. I would say from when I got the Tula on I wore them about the same, but she was like 8+ mo by the time I got it.</p> <p>With #3 due in the fall I plan on wearing a lot again. I got a solly wrap to replace my sleepy (boba) wrap that I had sold (thought we were done after 2) and plan on using that then my Tula and hoping to sell off my other carriers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-wear-1-or-2-more#post-2207622 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 20:19:17 +0000 Foodnerd81 2207622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So you're all saying I'm justified in buying more... :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-wear-1-or-2-more#post-2207620 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 20:17:40 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 2207620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#2 more! We had to be on the go much more, less laying about the house :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-wear-1-or-2-more#post-2207618 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 20:17:20 +0000 regberadaisy 2207618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: which one did you get? Baby girl runs hot and I'm sweaty after a walk just during the morning hours! This girl does not sweat and doesn't like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-wear-1-or-2-more#post-2207616 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 20:15:47 +0000 regberadaisy 2207616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>#1 was not a fan of baby wearing but #2 is! In the newborn days the carrier is the only way my toddler got fed when I was home solo! Even now at 9m that is how we go on walks and go to the park etc.<br /> So I say you will definitely wear #2 more! Assuming they like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-wear-1-or-2-more#post-2207601 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 19:37:59 +0000 blackbird 2207601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm already wearing #2 all the time. I can give E a bath while wearing him, run groceries more easily (with E, I waited for DH to get home), and I wear him when we do stuff with E. We are just out and about more, so it's a necessity. I bought a new wrap for him and I am also getting a linen sling because I'm dying in the heat </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-wear-1-or-2-more#post-2207599 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 19:35:00 +0000 californiadreams 2207599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i only have one so far, but i imagine i will be wearing #2 a lot more for two reasons. For one, I didn't know a lot about babywearing with LO1 and since he was born in the winter, i hardly wore him outside for the first few months (only got a babywearing coat the second winter right before he turned 1). And second, with a toddler to also take care of, I imagine it will be easier to go places and let the toddler have fun while all i have to do is pop LO2 in the carrier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-wear-1-or-2-more#post-2207596 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 19:33:22 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2207596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I would say more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-baby-wear-1-or-2-more#post-2207594 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 19:31:41 +0000 Foodnerd81 2207594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Of course it depends on your baby and your lifestyle at the time, but I'm curious if people tended to wear their first baby or second (or more) more often and longer? </p> <p>My LO has always loved being worn, from a couple of weeks old when I figured out the moby. This winter we figured out a back carry in the beco and ergo and it is the only way we got around in all the snow. I only stopped wearing her after the snow melted, when she was almost 21 months and 25 lbs. </p> <p>With baby #2 due in December I am envisioning wearing him or her a lot. I'm tempted to get some more carriers but I wonder if I'll end up wearing this one for a shorter period of time. If I knew I would wear him or her until 20 odd months again I would spring for a Tula now. :) </p>
