I started being a huge fan of
babywearing back when Samara was a lil' babe. When she was super colicky/fussy, it was the only way to soothe her and manage to get my teeth brushed some days. She basically lived in it from sun up to sun down. We started with the Baby Bjorn.
1 month

2 months

3 months

5 months

7 months

The Bjorn eventually killed my back and is actually not the best carrier (baby isn't supposed to be facing forward due to baby's spine needing to be in a natural rounded position at all times).
We upgraded to the Beco which has been fantastic. It is worth every penny (and it was quite a few pennies!).
9 months

Good for Moms AND Dads!

11 months (a lifesaver when Samara broke her ankle after a couple of weeks of walking!)

12 months (the perfect place for a nap while we were moving and her crib was in pieces)

14 months (great for hiking when strollers just won't do)

Now Presley's turn, although Samara is still easily within the weight limits of the Beco...may have to invest in another one at some point...


Before Samara was born, I was also given a wrap. I tried a number of times with Samara and she was SO NOT A FAN! She made me want to burn the thing but luckily I didn't! After hearing so many mamas from Presley's birth club rave about them, I tried it with Presley and she instantly went to sleep. So glad I didn't burn it after all!

How about you? Do you have a favorite wrap/carrier?

I'm seriously trying to figure out what is worth investing in for Annika, my arms can't take much more of this. lol. I have a wrap... and I liked it with Lykin... But for around the house(which is what I want it for most) it was just such a PITA to go through all the work of wrapping the darn thing.. so I rarely used it.
I just want something that is fast/easy to put on/take off by myself.
LOVE the passed out on daddy pic. It's too frigging cute!
Same as you...we used our baby bjorn, uncomfortably with Charley. And with Henry I fell in love with this one http://kozycarrier.homestead.com/
Henry was 20 pounds at 4 months...so he couldn't sit up in a grocery cart but was WAY to heavy for the infant carseat. So I wore him ALL the time out and about. Can't wait to wear this little one in our Kozy again.
Kozy is easy to put on...not as much wrapping as that one there that you have. My sister and siser in law have that one I think. I might borrow it from them so I can give it a try.
We used a wrap when our baby was newborn and loved it :) We now have an Ergo which we use frequently while travelling with our 14 month old. Looking into a Beco possibly with the new baby.
I used a wrap with Bean and she just loved it. I mastered twisting that thing around me and could whip her in and out in no time. I loved it!
Sigh. Hadley has decided, as of yesterday, that she no longer likes her Moby either. Just one of many things my high maintenance baby hates.
Deep Breath.
I don't have any insight into carriers- I used a Snuggli occasionally but that's it.
But, I did want to comment that I love the last picture- of you in the mirror!
I miss you so much!
