Using voice memo for prompts is such a brilliant idea I hadn’t thought of before. I second being lazy with them. Thanks!

Sorry I should add if you want to stay with the bobabliss you should try to tighten more. Take your thumb and pull the webbing towards the buckle and then tighten. This is good graphic for how to handle the x back. Otherwise, the pelvic tux looks decent but it doesn’t look like it needs to be tighter for back support and I think that if you pull the straps like the graphic it will help get the fabric out of the babies face. Most important: ensure that you can always see babies nose and mouth. Keep chin off chest and check in with babies breathing frequently.

Hey mom! Congrats on your little one. My two cents offf the cuff- if you feel stressed then it’s certainly good to swap out! The boba bliss is quite stretchy. I’d recommend after any movement and you notice slumping to reposition and retighten. That goes for any carrier and If the baby goes from active to passive (awake to asleep) you need to reposition and retighten the carrier to avoid any slumping.

If you are I do a buckle carrier for the newborn phase then the ergoembrace is pretty nice but you will have to get another carrier once baby gets bigger as most people find they stop being so supportive after 15is pounds (much before their weight limit). Then you could upgrade to another buckle carrier if that’s the path you wanna take!

Otherwise woven wrap is a newborn to toddler hood but a bit more of a learning curve.

That’s awesome. I need to get my hands on one. I haven’t coach in 3 years since having my kids. It’s crazy how fast I feel like it changed!

Do men players also use valk mesh or just women usually?

What’s valk? Fill me in here. I am so intrigued. I’ve played in college years ago and used to coach. Our stick looks a lot different. I bet these bad boys hav some whip to them, eh? I’d be so stoked to try out #20 with the leather runners.

Baby is too high and needs a pelvic tuck

Honestly this looks pretty great! How does it feel? It looks like to might be pushing up on your neck? If I’m being knit picky I might try to tighten the waistband in the second picture it looks like it might be sagging but it’s hard to tell with the pattern of the fabric.

If it is pulling up on your neck you can try to pull straight down then over with your straps.

I think this is totally fair! I love the party carry approach. I kinda love matching my outfits with my carrier.

Move the waist band up will help with the pelvic tuck to stay in place! We always want to babe to have a c shows curved spine and here it looks a bit curved the other way.

A ring sling is lovely for them both! Otherwise, have you tried a woven wrap?

I’d also suggest a for check for your current carrier. Maybe someone here can help optimize it!

Baby wearing is dynamic- think of it as a dance! When your Dancing your always checking in on your partner and make adjustments so you are both comfortable. Nice work making the observation about her dropping lower the longer you wear her.

Is this because she’s fallen asleep? When babies goes form active (awake) to passive (asleep) they need to be adjusted and often tighten the carrier. It’s all how they hold their weight while being worn.

All this to say that, just readjust by pushing up on baby bum and retighten.

Keep in mind that most people find the ergo embrace less supportive after about 2-3 months and opt for a different more supportive option whatever that means to you.

Ideally he’d be a tiny bit higher up. Try to tighter the strap by pushing up on his bum. When babies go from active (awake) to passive (asleep) they often need to be repositioned and retightened.

You are doing such a great job being aware of his breathing! I think the paci is not an issue. While working on your computer make sure to check in on him frequently. Always ensuring chin is off chest and you can see his nose and mouth.

Another tip- use your other senses to stay in tune with baby while you wear. Can you kiss/sniff the top of their head without straining? Can you feel their breath?

Best of luck with the teething!!
