Babywearing with FAB...it works!

[Guest guest]

Stacee, you could also look at the pictures on the maya wrap web site. You

can do most of those positions with any wrap. It will just give you some

ideas. We have the bjorn also, but find it easier to use the wrap with the

FAB. I put our wrap on, stick Logan through so his butt hits the bottom of

the wrap and the top is along the back of his head and tighten the wrap.

His feet are in the fab and out of the wrap.

Re: Babywearing with FAB...it works!

I would love to see some photos!! We have both a Lucky Baby Sling and a

Baby Bjorn, and I

couldn't figure out how to use the sling with the casts or the FAB, so I'm

using the Bjorn... I

really don't like it too much, but I have already switched from the bucket

car seat and am

not going back to it, so I need some way to transport the littlest one into

stores. I'm not

too fond of strollers at his young age, either. Guess I just want my cake

and eat it,

too!! :-)

You can email me directly if you want... doesn't matter to me... (if you

don't want photos

of you and baby online)

I guess I'm confused... Like I said, I have the Lucky Baby sling, which is a

pouch style

carrier, and I can't do the kangaroo carry because of the FAB, the hip carry

because his

little legs can't wrap around my side due to the FAB, and he's too little for

the back carry...

Maybe it's just that he doesn't like being on his back in the cradle carry that

you'd usually

use for a newborn on up. He prefers to look out at everything. I have looked

at the Maya

wrap site, as well as the lucky baby site and didn't see any ideas that I'd be

able to use

personally... I would LOVE some advice, as it took me a ridiculously long time

just to

figure out how to put the sling on!! Let alone change positions of the baby in

it. I've

always just used the bjorn, I hate to admit.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I'm probably the only mom in a 50 mile radius who " wears " their kid, lol, it's

just not a common concept in my part of the world but ya, I swear by it despite

the funky looks I get!!!

Pictures are a good idea, if Everett is cooperative tonight I'll have dh photo

us for you. Evy is nearly too big for it now but I bet we can manage some

general ideas for you.

Re: Babywearing with FAB...it works!

ee-- are you an experienced baby-wearer? I am a complete idiot when it

comes to

the sling, as I said earlier, it took me an embarassingly long time to figure

out how to put

the darn sling on, let alone try different positions. This is the biggest

reason I use the

bjorn--I know it and it's easy. Sort of.

Anyway, if you (or anyone else out there) are good at using the sling and

could offer

advice from picts of my kids in the sling I would appreciate it! I think my

sling is too big,

but can't tell, and it's been so long since I ordered the thing that I don't

think I can

exchange it. I hope to find out later today, as I emailed them earlier. I

just want an easier

way to carry while he's in the FAB for so much of his day.

Thanks (again) in advance!
