H...Yeah, I was really glad that J enjoyed the wrap. He's a lot taller tahn I am, but the one-piece wrap is so versatile that we could both wear it. Has your hubby tried that kind yet? It's a little tougher once their toddlers, since it's not as in-and-out as a sling. Your little one is a cutey-pie! Love the pics of him holding hands with his god-sister :)lislynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10226221709279544399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8693690641892596564.post-69728733081770023932008-10-24T08:55:00.000-04:002008-10-24T08:55:00.000-04:00I love having my son close to me as well. When he...I love having my son close to me as well. When he was younger, my hubby and in laws would always try to encouage putting him into the pram (especially because we bought such an expensive one, it seemed such a waste), but my son was always so much happier in a carrier or someone's arms. I really enjoyed wearing him, too, so I didn't mind being the one to carry him most of the time.<BR/><BR/>I think it's great that your hubby participated in the baby wearing. My hubby didn't really because he didn't feel comfortable. He has a really big belly and we couldn't find an option that worked for him (although I have three different carriers/slings - the Bjorn, ring sling and a wrap).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8693690641892596564.post-42576125522424196672008-10-14T20:58:00.000-04:002008-10-14T20:58:00.000-04:00Jenny, I just checked out Mini Boden!

I wear my 5 mo. old all the time in my wrap (one piece of cloth) and I love it! So does she. It's so versatile and comfortable. I'm a huge advocate.....I have 2 that I "made" and one from Moby D....and we love the Pearl books too. I have 6 of them and love them all. Have you read Created to be his Helpmeet? I think it's the best book I've ever read!<BR/><BR/>also have you seen the outfits made by Mini Boden? I have to deal with the same issues with Savannah at 5 now, and not that I could EVER afford Mini Boden's clothes, but I got a catalog in the mail out of the blue, and I LOVE their clothes! You might check them out.<BR/>Jenny Browncanningmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15548862831964846818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8693690641892596564.post-75664228968182718712008-10-11T11:36:00.000-04:002008-10-11T11:36:00.000-04:00Works For Me Wednesday!

Wh...Denise, yep, AP has some issues for us as well. Which I'm sure you would guess if you've read our posts on Michael and Debi Pearl. I suppose I think of their advice as a sort of modified version of AP, and that's what we try to emulate. It's an interesting mix... I highly recommend their books.<BR/><BR/>As far as wraps/slings. The most useful for me were the whole cloth wrap and the Mei tai. We started with the wrap when he was tiny and then moved to the mt when he wanted a little more freedom of movement. I use a pouch side carrier now, since it's so easy-in-easy-out. There's a link on my sidebar to the site where I found the patterns I used to make all my wraps. They're all super easy patterns.lislynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10226221709279544399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8693690641892596564.post-47942171827680605392008-10-08T08:11:00.000-04:002008-10-08T08:11:00.000-04:00I have a feeling I'll have a lot more thoughts on ...I have a feeling I'll have a lot more thoughts on this when I actually experience having a child of my own. AP isn't something I agree with on a lot of things, but there is good from it, too, that I do want to incorporate. Babywearing is definitely something I will do. I have one whole-cloth wrap a friend is making for me and a ring-sling I am ordering as well. If you have any input on good/bad brands (although it sounds like you made yours) feel free to share!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15325492689515460829noreply@blogger.com
