FWIW I preferred my ergo with insert at 10 weeks.</p> <p>Do not have it altered. IMO </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ktan-help#post-2584663 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 10:39:42 +0000 BabyTsMom 2584663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When my LO was that small, I used a rolled up small blanket under his butt, sort of like a newborn insert. I probably didn't start using it more until he was about 8-10lb though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ktan-help#post-2584629 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 09:43:26 +0000 runnerd 2584629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@alphagam84: was just about to say I'm going to try washing it after reading this thread. I wear a size 8 -10 dress pre-preg. I just don't think it should be a small! But it is def too loose at moment.</p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-ktan-too-big" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-my-ktan-too-big</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ktan-help#post-2584626 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 09:39:42 +0000 alphagam84 2584626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Try washing and drying to shrink it a little. My husband did that to mine by accident and it shrunk and was tight on me for a week or two 'til it stretched back out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ktan-help#post-2584623 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 09:37:53 +0000 runnerd 2584623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: ok gotcha!</p> <p>I wonder if their customer service is sympathetic, would exchange? I followed all their instructions on what size to order! But I bought through target. I've been using for over a week so don't feel like I can return it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ktan-help#post-2584619 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 09:31:24 +0000 jape14 2584619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a similar problem with the K'tan. I had the XS and it just didn't fit right. I think next time around I will go for the SollyBaby wrap instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ktan-help#post-2584609 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 09:16:40 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2584609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: do not have it taken in. Baby wearing products are tested for strength and safety. Any alterations could be very dangerous.<br /> I couldn't get the sizing right with k'Tan either. 😕 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ktan-help#post-2584587 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 08:38:01 +0000 catlady 2584587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No help because this happened to me and I was never able to get a good fit. It was initially way too tight so we couldn't use it at all, and then after I stretched it out a bit (and lost some baby weight), it would feel good for a few min and then quickly get too saggy. I gave up and sold it. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ktan-help#post-2584582 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 08:29:59 +0000 runnerd 2584582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So frustrating - based on everything I could tell, I would not be a small, but it definitely does not fit like @littlebug: says in any way at all.</p> <p>Do you think it if I had it taken in an inch on each strap it would help? I wish I knew what the size diff was in small and medium straps </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ktan-help#post-2584566 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 07:52:19 +0000 littlebug 2584566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you probably need to size down. When I first put the ktan on, it felt so tight I was almost afraid I was smooshing her! But after a few minutes it does stretch and is super comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ktan-help#post-2584562 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 07:41:52 +0000 MrsKRB 2584562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yea maybe try a smaller size? Mine saga after wearing it about a week, not minutes. I do think the instructions say the baby should be over 8 lbs though, but I'm not sure if that would make it sag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ktan-help#post-2584548 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 06:58:55 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2584548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like it might be too big? If it sags after awhile, it probably isn't quite snug enough. I found I had to size down in the K'Tan to get a proper fit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ktan-help#post-2584546 Tue, 12 Jul 2016 06:56:40 +0000 runnerd 2584546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a K'tan wrap in size medium last week. I've been using it with my newborn, but can't get a secure hold. Even if it starts out nicely (forehead kissable, secure wrap), it gets saggy within minutes, and I have to keep my hand on his head the whole time.</p> <p>He is still&lt;8lbs. Do you think he just needs to grow into it more? Or did I get the wrong size? I'm 5'3" and mid-160s currently. I purchased a medium. Considering taking to dry cleaner and having an 1-2in shortened on each strap...</p> <p>Thanks for thoughts! </p>
