What I Wear to Babywear.

Let me start out by saying that I don't make lots of money, I don't get products for free to try.  Anything that is posted on here is me "buying and trying."Or borrowing from a friend.
 
I was privately emailed about what carrier do I use when I wear JK or AM, I just thought I would answer that question on here.  (I also want to say how cool and fancy I felt getting an email from a totally random person about this,  THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING ME!!)
  I like to use my Infantino Sash Mei Tai Carrier.  For those of you not familiar with carriers Mei Tai is a Asian style carrier.
  Don't roll your eyes.  I know that Infantino has had lots of problems with some of the carriers that they provide.  This is carrier is a step in the right direction.  It allows baby's hips and legs to be in the correct sitting position when being worn. 
 Here are a few action shots of me, my husband and my son wearing my littlest one.

   As you can see I am a fluffy woman and I need a carrier that is going fit all the way around me and this one does.  For a smaller women the ties might be a little long and confusing.  It did take me a while to get where the carrier tight and high enough.  As you can see in the picture of me he is a little lower than I would like. As with any carrier this could just be a practice thing.  The shoulders are padded and they could use a little bit more, but they do not dig into me.  The fabric is slightly slippery so it does slip off, but I have learned some other ways to tie it with my local babywearing group's help.  For the price of $35 it has been very good to me.  The stitching is still strong and there is not much wearing down of the fabric.  JK is currently 28lbs and my AM is 36lbs.(right at the end of the weight limit)  I do not have any pressure soreness or backaches after wearing them for a couple of hours using this carrier.
I personally do not promote facing baby out when carrying them.  There have been many studies on this, so please do your research.
  So there you have it this is the main carrier that I use.  I do use other but those are for another posting.
  I also encourage you to join or visit your local babywearing group. They can help you find a carrier that is right for you.  BUT PLEASE find a group that is open to all types of carriers and not just one specific.  They should be supportive of all types of babywearing.
Hope this helps you.
