I am so in love with the ring sling I have bought rings online and am going shopping tomorrow for fabric. I'm making my own!! Knowing me I'll come home with enough fabric for a few!
I need to know more about this! Can you please update on this project?! I love sewing and baby wearing. I want to do this!
You guys are all so fancy! I'm over here like "omg, this Ergo is amazing!" Still using my Boba too....it got me through cooking dinner and doing some household crap with a fussy girl. Love all the beautiful wraps though!!

I wore baby girl in the moby yesterday. It was great to have two hands for a bit! However, she was slipping down as time went on. And then when she wasn't sleeping as well and trying to move her head everything was loosening up. Any tips on how to avoid that? Any babies stay happily awake in the moby?

The k'tan saved my life at the hospital today. There is no way I could have lugged a carseat and diaper bag through the parking garage and hallways by myself.

I am trying wrapping today with a size 6. However, I'm still having trouble getting the top rail to tighten. I can tighten everything else but then he gets uncomfortable and the top rail supporting his neck still seems too loose. Will post pictures soon for critiques. Eta: will not post pictures because as soon as I put him up he wanted to feed again and I don't know how to do that in the wrap yet. Had more issues this time anyway.
My BWI group showed me this trick, but my problem is that the tail seems to be too heavy and ends up falling out after awhile. Maybe I'm not rolling it under enough?
I roll it under and then tighten the top rail to hold it in place. If I don't mine falls out too. I saw some girls tucking it all the way around to their back but it don't like the extra bulk under my armpit. So just a bounce and top rail tightening and good!

I'm of the "if it works don't knock it" school. If the Ergo works for you I say keep on keeping on.
My Tulas are mocking me hanging in the closet unused. Baby has to be 8lbs even with the infant insert right? ::sniff::
The good news is that I think after watching nearly hundreds of YouTube videos I've gotten the hang of the ring sling. Here's my question though, when we hold her she automatically tucks her legs up and in like she was in the womb still. Should I keep her legs in the sling or pop them out into the 'M' when I wear her? She is one ounce shy of 7lbs btw.
I would have them out but that is my personal preference.
I think we finally mastered legs out! Of course then my K'tan arrived and that is just so much easier to get her in and out of so the ring sling is hanging up untouched now.

First time trying it out! I need to work on getting the ring and baby's head higher up, but she was asleep within like two minutes and I didn't want to wake her! I love it!

Are you in the diy carrier group on FB? I had issues finding appropriate fabric in store and ended up ordering fabric on line. Also, I made mine 30 inches wide. Works great for 30# DS, but not so great for little B. Also, it's almost too much fabric for the shoulder. But I do prefer a gathered shoulder to a pleated.

I'm not. Do I just search DIY carrier or how can I find it? I just went fabric shopping today. I found some nice medium weight 100% cotton and a cotton twill fabric with elephants that I hope won't be too stiff. What kind of fabric did you but online?
Here she is in my Ergo, my all time favorite carrier. Hoping to go to a Baby wearing meeting in October to ger more comfortable with the ring sling....

For those who bought a linen ring sling, don't forget to braid it to wear it in so it won't be so stiff. I found several helpful YouTube videos that show how!

I am in the group on facebook called DIY Babywearing. Just search that and you should find it. Beware though, it will suck you in and soon you will be planning to make like 10 carriers (which is what it did to me)!

Does it have a teddy bear as its picture or a rainbow?
Still no insert :-( every day I get sadder and sadder. We have a yard sale on saturday so it needs to be here by then.
Does Tula have a phone number? If so, I'd call. Did you get a confirmation email?
I ordered mine on a Friday and got it the following Monday.
I did get the email. It was stuck in San Diego for a couple of days. It hit our local post office this morning so should be here this afternoon I hope. The tracking information was not updated very well.

Does anyone have any trouble with their nipples after wearing? I keep getting these damn blebs or milk blisters or whatever and one cause can be wearing. It is happening on the same side I wear him. Note: I don't wear him a ton, maybe for an hour or so 3-4 days a week. We use a ring sling.
How do you guys put baby in the carrier when shopping? I feel like the transfer from infant seat to carrier would be awkward!
Using the Ergo, I put it around my waist, put the insert on the seat, and then take Jake out of the carseat, plop him the insert, buckle it, use one hand to hold him against me, put one arm strap on, then the other and reach in the back to clip it. It sounds way more complicated than it is.
