I am between XS and S but decided to size down (which I think is recommended). Sounds like you sized down, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-ktan-too-big#post-872139 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 17:05:10 +0000 Foodnerd81 872139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Hmm... before I was pregnant, I was between a medium and a large, and I'm planning on using it mostly when LO is teeny (meaning, I won't have lost much baby weight), so hopefully it will be OK... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-ktan-too-big#post-872094 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 16:56:13 +0000 lawbee11 872094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: I usually wear a small in t-shirts but got an extra small in the k'tan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-ktan-too-big#post-872073 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 16:51:14 +0000 evenstar982 872073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: seeing these pictures makes me think mine will be too big now (as mentioned in the other k'tan thread) :(<br /> Subscribing here too... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-ktan-too-big#post-871905 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 16:07:37 +0000 Foodnerd81 871905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not to threadjack, but did most of you get the size you get in a regular shirt? Like if you wear a medium in tops, did the medium k'tan fit? </p> <p>I tried mine on, and i got the right one according to the size chart, but it's hard to tell while I'm 7.5 months pregnant and I'm using a teddy bear! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-ktan-too-big#post-871882 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 16:01:51 +0000 LovelyPlum 871882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-ktan-too-big#post-871525 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 15:00:36 +0000 tlcbaby 871525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I think I'll hang onto my bigger size too when LO gets bigger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-ktan-too-big#post-871511 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 14:59:05 +0000 tlcbaby 871511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Ahh I got it!

Mine is a lot tighter now that she is bigger and after multiple washings. I couldn't have gone to a small or I wouldn't be able to get it on at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-ktan-too-big#post-871232 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 14:06:53 +0000 tlcbaby 871232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: Thanks! Even in the too big one, it is a baby whisperer. He falls right asleep. We just went outside and watered the plants with him in it. But I can feel it pulling down on my shoulders because of all the fabric. I can't wait to try the other one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-ktan-too-big#post-871179 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 13:54:59 +0000 LovelyPlum 871179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Quick thread jack here. @TurtleDoves: you are so pretty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-ktan-too-big#post-871165 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 13:50:50 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 871165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: lol, yes! He is a cuddling guy. His ribs jam into my ribs:) so be glad K made the change!</p> <p>@tlcbaby: yaaaay! You'll love using the k'tan! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-ktan-too-big#post-871157 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 13:47:51 +0000 tlcbaby 871157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay thank you all so much! Ordering an XS today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-ktan-too-big#post-870916 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 13:10:28 +0000 mrskc 870916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes, I do think it's too big. It should fit pretty snug. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-ktan-too-big#post-870903 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 13:08:34 +0000 shopaholic 870903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! Way too big! I found it wasn't as supportive until she reached about 8-9lbs, but even when loose, it wasn't as loose as yours. Now she is 12lbs and we used the extra piece and it feels perfect. They do shrink &amp; stretch before and after wash though, but I think you should size down at least one size!</p> <p>@TurtleDoves: Wow mama! He will still stay with legs tucked in at 8 months? K wanted legs out weeks ago! He's such a cutie, I wanna pinch him!</p> <p>Here's K in the K'tan. </p> [attach=2730/13/mopeeb.600x600.kt2.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-ktan-too-big#post-870869 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 13:01:27 +0000 rattles 870869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for too big. Mine's not as tight as Turtledove's with my LO, but it's certainly tighter than yours. When she was super-tiny, I had a hard time getting her high enough (like a few days old), but by a few weeks old, she was definitely kissable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-ktan-too-big#post-870854 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 12:58:42 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 870854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tlcbaby: you could always get the XS from eBay or CL or even on NBD or HB classifieds for really cheap. I kept both sizes because breast size will change and baby size will change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-ktan-too-big#post-870848 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 12:57:52 +0000 Smurfette 870848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: Mine looks like @tlcbaby: After I wear it a couple times when R was so tiny. Now that she is getting bigger is starting to get tighter like yours. The first wear after a washing is super tight </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-ktan-too-big#post-870847 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 12:56:56 +0000 tlcbaby 870847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: Ugh, yeah yours looks more like what I would expect. Might be exchanging..</p> <p>Well it is a Small. Do you think it would work eventually if I get an XS for now? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-ktan-too-big#post-870845 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 12:56:39 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 870845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: you read my mind;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-ktan-too-big#post-870840 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 12:55:55 +0000 regberadaisy 870840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It looks big to me too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-ktan-too-big#post-870833 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 12:54:56 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 870833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tlcbaby: it's way too big!!!<br /> Here is me in a size small with a 20lb (8m old) baby. I also have the k'tan in a size XS for my next child during his/her newborn stage.</p> <p>[attach=2389/13/mopdrl.600x600.image.jpg]</p> <p>What size is yours? I think you should get an XS and just keep that one for when baby is older and larger and has the ability to hold his or her head up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-ktan-too-big#post-870832 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 12:54:53 +0000 tlcbaby 870832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Thank you, I am going to try it out again this afternoon and then maybe wash it again </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-ktan-too-big#post-870771 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 12:39:57 +0000 Smurfette 870771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can also try twisting the fabric on the shoulders so it will pull the extra fabric in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-ktan-too-big#post-870760 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 12:38:15 +0000 chopsuey 870760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Turtledoves posted a pic a while back and her K'tan was tight. Her LO was positioned high up. </p>
