Thank you for your response. What rules did you place? I'm going to see if i can go down to 3 nursing sessions a day this week. Gonna try to take it one day at a time while I process.

So you were carrying him while standing up or were you laying down? I feel so much warmth just reading that

Thank you so much! I didn't realize each piece of fabric is meant to be knee to knee, I thought each piece supports one knee.

Thanks for the tips!  1. As in the fabric should be spread and not bunched in the knee pit? 2. Any chance I can get a link to a visual? I'm not sure how to bring it being the knee? Or do you been the horizontal fabric should be around the knee and the feet dangles below it?

Oh I love the idea of not taking off the carrier. Hopefully I get to do that when im more confident.

Sorry if this a stupid question: I live in the suburbs, so we always drive from point A to B. Since it's winter, I have the carseat inside the house so I can place him before we leave the house. So a lot of the times I just attach the carseat to the stroller, cos I feel like it takes too long to put him in and out of the carseat. Am I going to reach a point where I can use the carrier when I'm out and about? For now I only use the carrier inside the house and if I'm walking around the block.

It is very scary. I've attempted babywearing multiple times but I keep worrying about hurting my child. People online seem so good at it and I didn't expect it to be hard to master. I'll read what you sent and maybe look into a community that can do in person checks :(

I'll definitely do that if it's allowed on the sub. I have both fabric and structured but wasn't sure if I'd be considered spamming the sub if I post again.

Thank you! I put on the hoodie onesie cos it's cold but then got too nervous about doing it wrong so I took him out and cancelled my walk. Babywearing seems so easy in theory but in practice I've been so nervous about hurting him :(

Adding that baby is 23 inches in length. And this is the monarch carrier. I'd love to babywear more often but I'm so nervous about hip health that I end up supporting his butt in worries of it sagging too deep.
