re: Babywearin-our guide

I have a moby and want to try a Mei-Tei or Ergo with my 6 month old.
Where can I find one for a good deal? Anyone re-selling?

Says you can use it at 5 months. But I feel like thats a trustworthy position for a almost 3 month old?

as long as your baby has head control, yes. My nephew is 3 months old and does like to face outward also...

Yeah she has good head control & im right there on the moby if something hypothetically happens.
_thank you!

I started out with a Moby Wrap (which i still have and love)

But, at 23lbs, he was getting too big for it. So I ventured into SSC (soft structure carriers)

I now use my Mei Tais..


Or my Boba carrier...



All three choices  

i forgot!!

Here is a great link that i was given that shows a way to braid your wraps (stretchy or woven) so that you dont just roll them into a ball

there is really no way to safely forward face in a carrier. Having them face out put a lot of pressure and all their weight on the crotch and it is really bad for hip and spine development.Also the baby can get over stimulated if he/she cant turn and look at the parent. If you baby wants to see the world it might be time to get a new carrier. Mobys are good for the newborn stage but are not really good for bigger/active babies. A ring sling is a good way to wear a baby on the hip so they can look out or a carrier they you can wear on your back like a woven wrap.
