I have an ergo with the infant insert and love it, but can't wear it outside long because it is too hot for DD. What kind of wrap is recommended for a beginner?
Ring slings are good. Maybe a Moby or k'tan. Personally, I like my didytai. A lot. Seriously, so much.

A Maya Wrap ring sling is good, as are Sakura Blooms. I'm ordering a Natibaby woven wrap for my birthday, I seriously couldn't choose between that or the Lillebaby soft structured carrier. We already have the Tula as our ssc, but Lillebabys are so versatile and cute, and the all-season ones are mesh and really lightweight. Buy all the carriers, but money.

So good thing about having to go to the doctor today is finding out that M is already over 8lbs! After my OB appointment the wovens are coming out and we are playing!
I just got my sister's ring sling in the mail. She's letting me borrow it to see if I want to buy one for myself. Hopefully DD2 will like it, she's currently hating the k'tan, which I wore DD1 in all the time. I'm still trying to figure out how to thread it correctly though. The video on the website is crappy, so I guess I'll be checking out other You Tube videos later so I can figure it out.

Just bought a Moby on Amazon. So excited. I watched a tutorial and I'm kind of pissed I didn't spring for $5 one day shipping instead of my free 2 day.
htuzzi324 that back wrap looks super comfy. I'd be so terrified that I would sit down and lean back lol.
motownthrowdown it is so comfortable. And much easier to cook and do dishes. But for the experienced wrapper. It was hard wrapping such a teeny baby when you're used to a 2yo lol.
I am officially a ring sling failure. I'm only half sure that I threaded it correctly and it is comical how we looked when I got DD2 in it. Any suggestions for online tutorials that were helpful?

Did you check out YouTube? There are tons of tutorials on there.

"Wrapping Rachael" is so great. There's one called "how to thread a ring sling" and one on how to carry newborns in one.
bibliothecary, I did check out you tube but because there were so many I was looking for any suggestions for good ones. I'll check out wrapping rachael elizabethnevadap, thanks! I've watched the threading one on the sling website a billion times, so hopefully this one is better
Thanks ampaints! I just watched the Wrapping Rachel videos elizabethnevadap suggested and they were so helpful! I'll check out baby wearing Faith too. As luck would have it, DD2 is asleep in the k'tan right now so I can't actually try it out, but I did get it threaded correctly so that's a start! I think sleep deprivation is taking a toll on my cognition, I'm sure it's not nearly as difficult as I'm making it out to be.

kaeguri Okay I'm pretty much one click away from ordering a ring sling off the etsy site you recommended, but I have a quick question first! In the picture you posted, it looks like the tail is kinda long. Does that bother you? I'm only 5'4 so I imagine it will be long on me as well.
I don't have one of those fun wraps but I do have an ergo, do I still count?
My first time wearing it. She feels secure but if anyone sees something I'm doing wrong! She's in the infant insert which might be too hot for outside but I thought it would be ok in the house while I make dinner..

I also got mine from the same shop. The length allows it to grow with you. You can wrap it up near the rings to shorten it while babe little. I'm 5'6" and don't feel like it was in the way.

I'm 5'4" too, the tail hits me about mid shin or right below my knee. It doesn't bother me too much, but you can always tuck the tail into the sling if it does. get oooonnneee
I did it!!! I'm so excited for it to come in. I'm going to have to wait a couple of extra days because she didn't have the color I wanted in stock. I went "boring" as far as colors go, but I just saw this color and imagined my tiny in it and my mind was made up! It's called sea grass.
For those who have ordered from her etsy site, how quick did they arrive after you ordered them? Just curious! I was never a baby wearer with DD1, but after this past week alone with two under three, I don't think it's an option to not wear DD2!
I feel like Ethan is to low. It didn't start out this way but as I walked around he kept sliding down. Thoughts?
runningmommy519 is that a boba? If so I have the same one. E always ends up sliding down a bit no matter what I do. To make sure it's as tight as possible when putting it on, grab the fabric in the area over each shoulder, pull forward and then down.
