We love our k'tan! She settled into this position today and slept for an hour until MIL came and woke her up. Trying to figure out how to nurse in it is next! We also have an ergo 360 for when she's bigger.
what is the best baby wearing device that is not so damn hot! I live in the south and the humidity is terrible. I have the boba wrap and me and DD roast! I need some cooler suggestions. TIA
Ring sling, woven wraps, some SSCs. Basically Bobas are one of the warmest carriers because they are thicker fabric and pass over babe three times. Other options are both thinner and have just one pass over LO.

If you like the boba then you can try a boba air, it's mesh and very breathable but it's a ssc.
If you like to wrap and would like to use it in the water you can just go to the fabric store and get some athletics mesh, cut it in half and you got yourself 2 wraps that you could use in or out of the water.
If you'd like a ring sling there is some mesh ring slings and those are very airy and can be used in the water. If you don't want mesh then the bast thing would be linen. It's very breathable and the good thing with ring slings is that it's only one layer on baby.
You can also get a wrap that's not a stretchy wrap and just do a one pass on baby like a front wrap cross carry (fwcc).
I'm biased but I think seeing dads baby wear is hot
What about babywearing dads while they are making supper?!
This was back when DD was 13 days old, I think H was getting jealous of my k'tan time and went and stole DD and found and figured out the BabyHawk all on his own. Too cute not to share!
erbear, I found some good videos on YouTube for nursing in the k'tan. It's pretty easy now that I've practiced a few times.
Thanks for the heads up! I have a friend that told me it's pretty easy in the Ergo 360 (which I also have, minus the infant insert), so I'll look up videos for both!
I have been using my ktan which has been great. However, I decided to bust out the ergo tonight to see how Wes would fit. I don't have an infant insert but it still worked just fine! I just frogged his legs up.
I wore LO out in public for the first time today and it make grocery shopping a million times easier. I'm still trying to get the hang of it and not invest in anything too pricey until I do. This is a cheaply infantino mei tai. So far I like it better than the ring sling and the ergo.

Widget123 I just got that same mei tai today! Can't wait to try it out. It seems easy enough to get into (backpack looks kinda advanced, but I guess no need to worry about it quite yet.)
I finally learned how to nurse in the wrap! We were walking through the grocery store and LO got hungry so I decided to give it a try. I just lowered him down and widened the straps and no one had a clue what was going on in there.

Trying the infantino mei tai for the first time today, and it's the first time she's stopped screaming all afternoon! Plus, she's farting up a storm. I think she likes it?
