I still wear LO 2 occasionally at 18 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-babywearing-1#post-1942500 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 09:06:57 +0000 blackbird 1942500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't wear my 19 month old that often anymore. If we go grocery shopping, she likes to sit in the cart and draw on my list. If we're going to walk to the park, we let her walk most of the way and do a little in the Ergo when she starts to think about running into the street. She just wants down so often, that it's sometimes too much of a hassle to wear her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-babywearing-1#post-1942438 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 08:17:46 +0000 littlebittyhouse 1942438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2.5 and we still babywear often. Usually in the ring sling if we are popping in and out of a store but in the Beco if it is a longer trip. I am pregnant with #2 now and am curious as to how long I will be able to comfortably wear him. I am looking forward to wearing a newborn again &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-babywearing-1#post-1942418 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 08:02:41 +0000 Smurfette 1942418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>like 7 months. Since then we wore her in the Ergo when we were at Ruby Falls. She didn't like it at first, but she was due for a nap, so she lost to sleep. Otherwise a stroller is so much easier for me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-babywearing-1#post-1942410 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 07:57:52 +0000 edelweiss 1942410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we stopped wearing LO regularly around 20 months. no particular reason. i do like wearing him though and was just thinking this morning about doing it again, particularly when i walk the dogs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-babywearing-1#post-1942304 Thu, 13 Nov 2014 03:53:16 +0000 Pumuckl 1942304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't baby wear LO anymore since he's too heavy for me (19m but &gt;30 lbs) but DH still carries him on occasion like at the airport etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-babywearing-1#post-1942203 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 23:18:30 +0000 JessKas 1942203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still use my ergo almost daily, and LO is 15 months. I've only used my stroller maybe five times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-babywearing-1#post-1942035 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 20:51:13 +0000 photojane 1942035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't worn her since she was about 9 months, but I never really liked it to begin with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-babywearing-1#post-1942030 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 20:49:38 +0000 MapleMoose 1942030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I decreased the amount of time carrying LO when she was about 10 months old. I'm now 30 weeks pregnant and I still carry her in the Lillebaby carrier a few times a week at home. When we are out I use a store cart or her stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-babywearing-1#post-1942024 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 20:45:26 +0000 MrsB2012 1942024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear daily, b is 15 months old and I'm 7 months pregnant. I will hopefully keep wearing the full pregnancy and can't wait to wear #2 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-babywearing-1#post-1941989 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 20:22:05 +0000 rachiecakes 1941989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 2.5, I might try a back carry some day but he just wants to walk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-babywearing-1#post-1941985 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 20:20:15 +0000 jetsa 1941985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still babywear almost every weekend at 14 months. We both love it and it calms him down quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-babywearing-1#post-1941956 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 20:09:03 +0000 avivoca 1941956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear her daily at 13 months. She still loves to be carried and it's so much easier to walk the dog while wearing her instead of pushing the stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-babywearing-1#post-1941946 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 20:03:00 +0000 Applesandbananas 1941946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually just got on the bandwagon with a toddler Tula. LO is at a stage where he won't get in the stroller but can't really walk the whole way through the zoo and if I let him walk in a store, it'd be a nightmare, so it's been a nice option to have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-babywearing-1#post-1941902 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 19:28:34 +0000 littlejoy 1941902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: Ha! Exactly what I'm hoping for!! I'm kind of lazy, and I'd LOVE to be carried!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-babywearing-1#post-1941898 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 19:27:57 +0000 littlejoy 1941898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are still baby wearing a ton at 10 months. We are big time hikers, and I pray baby will let us carry her for YEARS. Kids suck, and complain about walking, so we're hopeful she'll be into the carriers.</p> <p>At 10 months, we carry her nearly everywhere. When I go walking for fitness, I use the stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-babywearing-1#post-1941896 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 19:25:11 +0000 yoursilverlining 1941896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still babywear at 29 months. If we're running into the market for a handful of items I won't usually wear her but always wear her for longer shopping trips of all kinds, always wear at the airport, zoos, etc. She would rather be worn than walk (hmm, lazy like me? :silly: ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-babywearing-1#post-1941891 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 19:15:37 +0000 Ra 1941891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still wear him at 17 months but not very often. Most of the time he just wants to walk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-babywearing-1#post-1941889 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 19:12:07 +0000 rattles 1941889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped when she was about 20 months. I was 6 months pregnant and dealing with some major S/I issues, and it just wasn't good for me anymore. I miss the convenience! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-babywearing-1#post-1941867 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 18:54:49 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1941867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped around 30 weeks pregnant with #2 I was having more discomfort in my hips on days I wore #1 so I stopped. I miss it and hopefully will wear her again once #2 is here.</p> <p>ETA: DD1 was about 21 months and 27 pounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-babywearing-1#post-1941858 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 18:49:05 +0000 shopaholic 1941858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped more the most part around 8/9 months. She got to be too heavy and then later stopped wanting to be worn. Since then I'll still use the Ergo on occasion: getting through the airport, when she's being super clingy, but I think I use it less than 5% of the time since she was 1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-stop-babywearing-1#post-1941828 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 18:28:49 +0000 Bao 1941828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am curious when others stopped babywearing, or at least cut way back. I used the Ergo a few times when LO2 was a newborn but then switched to the stroller or just left her in her car seat and carried that around. I'm not sure if I will get more use out of it going out and about when LO2 is out of the infant carrier, and I have to try and juggle two kiddos in public. </p> <p>When did you stop babywearing? What made you stop? If you still babywear, do you wear your LO almost everywhere you go or just here and there? </p>
