Wearing your preemie

[motownthrowdown]

I bought a carrier with a minimum weight of 8 freaking pounds because I apparently can't read numbers at 3am on my phone in the nicu. DD was discharged at barely 5 pounds.

With my Moby, I wore her at around 6.5 pounds. As long as their heads don't tuck to their chests, you should be ok. Just take a peek every couple minutes until you're sure.

Edit: also, congrats on your fresh nicu grad!!!!

I probably used a wrap for the first few weeks. I use a Tula with the infant insert now. DS2 is probably just over 10 lbs and will be 3 months on Thursday.

Happy homecoming! I waited until DS was the 8lbs min. That the ergo with infant insert requires. He came home at 5lbs, 6oz so we had to wait until he was almost 2 months.
