We're hip holders over here to and DH always complains that he can't! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-hold-lo#post-370502 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 16:37:43 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 370502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hip holding is such a mom thing! Dads never do it.<br /> I do a modified hip hold.</p> <p>Did you get new glasses? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-hold-lo#post-370484 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 16:27:34 +0000 autumnlove 370484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On my hip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-hold-lo#post-370471 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 16:19:44 +0000 HLK208 370471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's kind of little to carry on my hip but I carried DS on my hip for a good 2.5 years so she'll probably be hip carried in a few months. I face her outward right now. Or inward, supporting her back/my hand under her bum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-hold-lo#post-370348 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 15:23:42 +0000 loveisstrange 370348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mandb36: Yep, thats how it works for us. All of a sudden her pants and sleepers start getting short. She wore NB for 2 weeks, 0-3 for 6 weeks, 3-6 for about 6-7 weeks and now 6-9 for about 3 months. She's actually in 12 months sleepers because I want her to have plenty of room to move in them. I figure we'll be in 12m size by Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-hold-lo#post-370277 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 15:04:25 +0000 BelugaBean 370277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: I'm so glad to hear that! I thought we'd be in 3-6 months for a while but all of a sudden her pants are getting short and everything is getting tight so we're about to get her some new 6-9 month outfits and I was hoping she wouldn't grow out of them too fast. My LO was only 8 lb 5 oz at birth but she's just growing so fast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-hold-lo#post-370269 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 15:01:27 +0000 loveisstrange 370269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mandb36: Yep, that sounds like my girl. She was 10lbs8oz at birth. 16lbs2oz at 3 months and 21lbs2oz at 6.5 months. She'll be 7 months on Saturday and we have an appt Monday, so well see. She's been 98/100% her whole life. Her growth has slowed CONSIDERABLY though. She's not gotten too much bigger in the last month and a half or so. She's in 6-9m clothes and has been since 4 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-hold-lo#post-370259 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 14:58:39 +0000 Springtime 370259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: you guys are so cute! Now that LO is bigger I always hold him on my hip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-hold-lo#post-370236 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 14:52:49 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 370236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hip mostly, although I've started holding him in front pretty high so his arms are by my shoulders/head because the belly is getting in the way.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-hold-lo#post-370233 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 14:51:22 +0000 Mrs. Pen 370233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: I can't carry him on my right hip!!! It doesn't work lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-hold-lo#post-370227 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 14:50:02 +0000 junebugmama 370227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear carriers most of the time. So he's planted on my hip, but I still get use of both hands :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-hold-lo#post-370222 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 14:48:22 +0000 BelugaBean 370222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hold her on my hip since it's most comfortable for me. DH usually still cradles her.</p> <p>@zippylef: I think we're headed this way. She's 3.5 months and about 16 lb or so. Her weight gain has slowed down a bit but she's consistently been in the top percentiles for height and weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-hold-lo#post-370204 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 14:46:15 +0000 sarac 370204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hip. Please, don't be like me - alternate your sides. I'm having some tragic back pain at 13 months, and my girl is a tiny little thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-hold-lo#post-369909 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 13:25:09 +0000 loveisstrange 369909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On my hip. She may only be 7 months old but she weighs 21lbs and she's too heavy to carry any other way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-hold-lo#post-369906 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 13:23:44 +0000 mediagirl 369906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On my hip or like a football if I'm doing other things at the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-hold-lo#post-369904 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 13:22:30 +0000 Mrs. Pen 369904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hold him on my hip 99% of the time. DH thinks it's weird and cannot hold DS on his hip haha! He holds him facing out generally. </p> [attach=1597/12/mcrsdj.450x600.image.jpg]
