I have those same sunnies too! :wink: </p> <p>@hilsy85: That's awesome! I still haven't figured out that trick yet!</p> <p>Um... mine is that K wouldn't sleep but an hour TOTAL on our 10 hour flight. Still didn't sleep for most of our 4 hour layover, so I popped her in the K'tan and she passed out. Stayed asleep IN the K'tan for the whole entire 4 hour flight until final descent! We didn't move, get up to pee, or anything! Even the flight attendant didn't want to disturb us and let her stay in the carrier (when they usually tell you baby has to be out of carried to takeoff/landing). Not sure how comfy it was for K, but sleep-wise and being a quiet passenger, it was a win. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-918140 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 01:08:48 +0000 littlepenguin 918140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore DS to Petsmart and Albertsons yesterday. It's so nice to have my hands free. People comment on how cute he is but don't try to touch him. He gets to see what's going on, but when he's tired of looking around and wants to sleep he just puts his head on my chest and sleeps. I feel so much better getting out of the house for a little while and resuming some of my normal routines. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-917972 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 22:50:28 +0000 MamaJ 917972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore DS on my back in the ergo while moving. He was teething and cranky and I had things to do. Talk about a work out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-917967 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 22:49:06 +0000 MaisyMay 917967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have my own ring sling that I made and last week LO fell asleep on the way to the grocery store. I put her in her ring sling, with her barely waking, and she napped for half of an hour while we shopped. </p> <p>It made me feel pretty victorious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-917557 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 20:38:20 +0000 Navy_Mommy 917557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: ring slings get easier the more you break them in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-917548 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 20:36:10 +0000 Andrea 917548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore her yesterday while cooking dinner! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-917500 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 20:20:28 +0000 allison 917500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: ah, haha. I haven't tried holding the boob. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-917487 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 20:16:46 +0000 hilsy85 917487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: I had to loosen the straps to make sure that he was low enough to have his head at the right level. I also had to hold my boob in his mouth, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-917480 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 20:14:51 +0000 allison 917480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I'm very impressed that you nursed in the Ergo! I've tried it a couple times and just can't seem to get it/LO in the right position for it to work.</p> <p>I got a SBP ring sling a few weeks ago, and I've been using it pretty regularly. I think I've finally gotten into a groove with putting it on and putting LO in it. FINALLY. The first couple times I was so frustrated because it took forever to adjust.</p> <p>I'm definitely going to try out a wrap at some point. It may not be until I have #2 though. I love my Ergo and RS! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-917226 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 19:08:45 +0000 Navy_Mommy 917226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: on my blog I have a video for a Short back cross carry with a candy cane chest belt, that's my go to carry with a 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-917221 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 19:07:20 +0000 Weagle 917221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy: @Mrs. Twine: Maybe I'll go with a 4. That doesn't seem to crazy long to me, but it seems that I would still have some versatility. I'm pretty small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-917217 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 19:04:52 +0000 Mrs. Twine 917217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle; I like longer wraps, personally. I don't get the whole "shorty" thing. I prefer to be able to do it all. I agree about wanting something longer to start with. You would have more versatility, and also start learning carries where perfection isn't quite as much an object. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-917215 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 19:04:31 +0000 Navy_Mommy 917215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: lol. You're the Babywearing yin to my yan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-917208 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 19:03:23 +0000 Mrs. Twine 917208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy; You complete me! We seriously should live closer. Our collections have zero overlap. Either that or we should trade off. I want to try all your wraps. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-917204 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 19:02:49 +0000 Navy_Mommy 917204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: a shortie will be hard to start with since you primarily do single pass carries with it and it's harder to get a good seat with a single pass carry. I only like sizes 3, 4, and 5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-917194 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 19:01:07 +0000 Navy_Mommy 917194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: oh and I have a gira, a Nati, a Didy, a C &amp;C, and three Kokadi. My ring sling is made and dyed by me. And my half buckles are a gira and a Kokadi. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-917191 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 19:00:52 +0000 Weagle 917191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy: It's getting hard to resist. I just need to decide if I want a 5 or a shorty. I dont think I want longer than a 5. I know they're supposedly harder to learn with, but a shorty seems MUCH less overwhelming! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-917190 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 19:00:28 +0000 Mrs. Twine 917190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy; You said it, not me ;). I will refrain from answering questions like @Weagle's because I will pretty much unanimously say to get one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-917180 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 18:58:42 +0000 Navy_Mommy 917180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: I am pro wrap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-917145 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 18:50:46 +0000 Weagle 917145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a huge win, but all of a sudden, LO is loving being worn again... If we're at home :). But I'm loving the cuddles! I just to my 5th carrier in the mail this week (Gira WCRS), and I'm trying to decide whether or not I want a wrap now or wait until we are expecting #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-917141 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 18:50:14 +0000 Mrs. Pen 917141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy: I love baby wearing while grocery shopping. I actually have gotten comments from Asian and African women who tell me that's how they carry their babies back home! It's sweet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-917123 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 18:47:06 +0000 Navy_Mommy 917123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: I have 7 wraps, a ring sling, a SSC, and two WCHBs... so obviously you don't have too many... lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-917111 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 18:44:06 +0000 lemondrop 917111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: the mouse, bwaahahahaha! That story gets me every time! Way to rock baby wearing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-917079 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 18:33:58 +0000 Mrs. Twine 917079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy; Natibaby is one I have not wrapped with. I will be a bad influence and say you should get it and wrap with it regardless. It is a neat print! I have seven wraps and two ring slings (two wrapsody, two oscha, two ellevill, one storch for wraps, and a Comfy Joey RS and one made by a friend). I've tried mei teis but just never been that into them. My excuse is that I plan to start a library in our area and teach people about babywearing. Right after I run for President. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-917046 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 18:27:05 +0000 rawrasaur 917046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love wearing my LO when shopping. It is so easy and she is usually super chill the whole time. I wear both her and my purse and don't have to worry about walking away from the cart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-917013 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 18:23:32 +0000 Navy_Mommy 917013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: learning to nurse in a carrier is so liberating. You can continue to get stuff done AND keep baby happy at the same time. No more baby screaming while you're in line at the store, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-916932 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 18:11:40 +0000 mediagirl 916932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahhhhh breastfeeding in the carrier. I should have done that while we were shopping! My books were killing me bc it was our normal time to do so! Next time. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-916914 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 18:04:25 +0000 hilsy85 916914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: @Navy_Mommy: thanks ladies! I was also impressed with myself that I was ok with the side boob I was probably flashing lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-916902 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 17:59:25 +0000 Navy_Mommy 916902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: I've wondered how many you have... I've been going back and forth about pre-ordering a natibaby purple cheetah wrap in the hopes that I'm pregnant with a girl. And if it's a boy I would just sell it. I have till the 14th to decide. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/share-a-recent-babywearing-win#post-916896 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 17:57:15 +0000 Navy_Mommy 916896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was the first time I nursed in a ring sling in public and it was at Lowe's, lol. DH laughed when I asked him to take a picture. </p> [attach=1264/13/mpoyfg.306x408.PicsArt_1345419741043.jpg]
