re: Babywearin-our guide

How do I use the ergo with my newborn without having the insert? I have been using the ring sling and haven't attempted the woven wrap yet, but my SO would like to use the ergo.

you can roll up a receiving blanket and put it in the bottom and froggy the babys legs

does anyone want to trade your woven wrap for a MT or a Stretchy wrap?

I want to get a woven wrap but i dont want to spend a butt load of money if im not going to use it for long? I want to test out the waters with different carriers.

Should I wash my Ergo and infant insert before using with my nb? What should I wash it with? I have normal detergent, Dreft and Rockin Green. Should I line dry or put it in the dryer? Can I wash it with clothes, diapers? Should I wash it alone?

s O i HAVE THE eRGO.. hOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THE SNAPS IN THE BACK? i CAN NEVER REACH THEM TO SNAP THEM AFTER SHE'S IN!

Sorry, caps lock. She's banging on the keyboard

Does anyone have a link to make a baby carrier similiar to a mei-tai? With the Mei-tai, would you have to sew at all, I don't have a sewing machine so if I do, that is out of the question.
Are there are out there that I can make that do not require sewing and how much fabric would I need?

Like a Moby? 5 yards if you're smaller, 6 yards if you're a little bigger, prefereably jersey or lycra

when i put my Boba on (similar to the ERGOBABY) I losen the straps as loose as they will go, put the baby in, then do the back snap first then tighten the straps

I have a linnen woven wrap. Went to my local fabric shop picked up 7 yards of 100% linnen washed it and cut 12 inches off of the width. No hemming no nothing! You can also make a no-sew Ring sling.

Ladies who have a Moby Wrap - where is the Moby tag/logo on your wrap? I'm attempting to make my own and need to know where the logo is so I can tie it properly
