I can't wait to wear my baby...I have the ktan though and it says baby should be 8 lbs. 7 more ounces to go!
I plan to ask my doc today at our 2-week check-up, but is 8 lbs the recommendation for most carriers? How about ring slings, etc? Also 8 lbs?
I've been using a ring sling with Miles and he's under 8 lbs. I keep his legs in the froggy position. I got approval from his pediatrician prior to trying it out.

At my Detroit Babywearers meeting today, the organizer works for Maya, and she casually mentioned that yesterday they sent her NINE new ring slings in one big box. All of their new colors. I guess they do that for promotion, because she's photographed a lot spreading the babywearing love. Drool. She also has a huge lending library of beautiful wovens that I'm going to try next week, J was fast asleep on me and I didn't want to throw him around. Totally jelly of her.

I'd get a ring sling if my husband wouldn't divorce me for buying another carrier. We only have 2 (k'tan and happy wrap) but he got frustrated when I brought the k'tan home last week.
I successfully cooked chicken tonight wearing Rose in the ring sling. She napped away the entire time. It was awkward cutting it up but it was better than her screaming her head off.
I get to go here now! I am super excited to use my ktan today. I am going to a breast feeding class and they recommend not bringing a stroller, so I will wear baby then.I put Caden in it the other day for a quick practice and we did good. i am gonna youtube it this morning to double check positioning. I will post pics later!!

I went to a bf meeting yesterday and weighed my little one. Thankfully at 8 days old she was above her birth weight and over 8 lbs. not a moment too soon bc she wants to be held all the time, even while she sleeps and I have a toddler to look after. The k'tan is my best friend right now!
