They can make a huge difference. My next wrapping goal is to get backcarries down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woven-wrap-questions-1#post-2388097 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 15:55:24 +0000 LindsayLou 2388097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Wrapping is just so versatile and comfy! I think I need to just keep trying and hope that my kiddo starts liking it more. Or try done different carries. Right now she's good for about 2 minutes, then she starts fussing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woven-wrap-questions-1#post-2388029 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 15:18:53 +0000 BSB 2388029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayLou: I tried it out a few times already. I tried it again last night after using my fly tai the last week or so and I fell in love with it again. The length was a bit overwhelming before but last night it was so second nature. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woven-wrap-questions-1#post-2388020 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 15:14:42 +0000 LindsayLou 2388020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I did! I ended up with a used dolcino. I found it for super cheap, it's soft and pretty, so I figured it was a good starting point. My kiddo, sadly, isn't much of a fan so far. Which is bizarre, because she's happily spend her entire day in our ring sling, mei tai, moby, or tula if I let her. I need to try again. Have your tried out your tekhni yet? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woven-wrap-questions-1#post-2387936 Mon, 14 Dec 2015 14:34:48 +0000 BSB 2387936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayLou: Did you end up buying anything?</p> <p>My first woven was a Tekhni Delta. It's so soft and needs very little breaking in. I bought one new and washed it once and it's ready to go. I just want to sleep with it since it's so soft. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woven-wrap-questions-1#post-2372528 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 23:04:53 +0000 pastemoo 2372528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: possible but the carries are slightly different. How long are the tails in your favorite carries right now? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woven-wrap-questions-1#post-2368444 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 15:03:54 +0000 jetsa 2368444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: @MrsTal: @Pumuckl: hey ladies. I had a size 5 didy indio with my son and we loved fwcc until close to a year. I sold my Indio because I thought my daughter would love ring slings...she doesn't. Someone on my local swap has a great deal on a size 4 Pavo folklore do you think I'll be content with that size or should I be looking for a 5? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woven-wrap-questions-1#post-2332666 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 19:46:21 +0000 pastemoo 2332666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayLou: I second a size 5 girasol, either twill (warmer) or diamondweave (thinner, usually) as a great starting wrap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woven-wrap-questions-1#post-2332654 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 19:34:15 +0000 MrsTal 2332654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayLou: Girasol was my starter wrap and it was good, not too heavy and easy to work with, plus there weren't a ton of options as far as blends, that stuff gets overwhelming quick. I now love Tekhni's as they have ones made with repreve (a recycled plastic, sounds weird but it's wonderful) that are sooo breathable but they are a little pricey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woven-wrap-questions-1#post-2331531 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 11:16:41 +0000 LindsayLou 2331531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumuckl: Thank you for the advice! The girasols are gorgeous. Checking out a baby wearing netting is definitely a great idea, I'm sure it would help to see and feel some of the different options. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woven-wrap-questions-1#post-2331108 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 03:07:47 +0000 Pumuckl 2331108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You'll love a woven wrap. Sizing is a little dependent on how you want to carry your LO. With your small frame a size 5 should give you lots of options. <a href="http://www.didymos.de/en/DIDYMagazine/Baby-Carriers/Sizes/" rel="nofollow">http://www.didymos.de/en/DIDYMagazine/Baby-Carriers/Sizes/</a></p> <p>I have a didymos woven that has a low grams per sqm measure which means it isn't as think and thus cooler (but it is also less supportive for a heavier child) and love it but I haven't tried anything else. Maybe you can check out your local babywearing meeting (babywearing international chapter etc) so you can see different ones.</p> <p>Love these sites for tutorials <a href="http://www.wrapyouinlove.com/tutorials-on-youtube/" rel="nofollow">http://www.wrapyouinlove.com/tutorials-on-youtube/</a> and <a href="http://wrapyourbaby.com" rel="nofollow">http://wrapyourbaby.com</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woven-wrap-questions-1#post-2331074 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 00:23:33 +0000 LindsayLou 2331074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm considering a woven wrap, but am so overwhelmed by the choices. Any recommendations on brands? What's a versatile starting size for someone who's petite (I'm only 5'1)? What blends tend to be cooler? My kiddo is a little heater.</p> <p>I'm looking for something that isn't crazy expensive to start with. My daughter is 8 weeks now, and loves to be worn, so I expect and hope to continue baby wearing for quite some time. </p>
