I think I need to buy a k'tan right now. Little boo has decided his sweet butt must never touch a bassinet under any circumstances. Love our Ergo, but it's way too damn hot for around the house. If I want to do anything other than watch all of Netflix for the next two months, I need something else.
Why would you want to do anything other than watch all of Netflix for the next two months?

I will! Were you thinking of one of the Tokidoki ones?
Nah, too much color for DH lol. Probably the all seasons version. From my obsessive research, it's seems the most practical.
That's what H likes about it! I got the All Season Iconic. I wish I would have gotten it before the Tula ssc since its adjustable and can be used for newborns too.
I have the Solly baby wrap. It's bamboo but still gets too hot for him after a few hours and he gets all fussy. Any suggestions?
I have the Solly too. He likes it, but I notice he does get pretty warm... But I don't think he's ever lasted more than an hour and a half. What are you wearing under? Around home you could just do a tank top and have him in a diaper?
The stars aligned for just long enough this afternoon to get my wrap started dyeing! I am very excited to see the outcome, it is supposed to be a galaxy dye!

We are out and about around town so I'll wear cotton shirt and he normally has a onesie on. I'm thinking I might just have to take him out and carry him every now & then so he doesn't get too warm.
I think I finally have this baby wearing thing figured out enough to put it to use. I'm going to a BWI meeting on 9/16 to make sure I'm positioning her right, I'm a bit worried about her legs.

@asheria you can get the infant insert. I plan to sell it for what I paid when DS1 outgrows it. But I love my Tula! I use it daily!
DH isn't feeling the moby at all, so in going to shoot him a link to a Tula and tell him to save his pennies and buy it lol. He wants something that is just a click on put baby in and I e heRd amazing things about Tula. So Ya. Maybe in a week or two we will order.

So much more user friendly. I think he'll like it a lot. I heard you can use a receiving blanket instead of the infant insert.
Tulas seem to be really popular around here. How do they compare to the ergo? I love my ergo but not during the NB stage. Is the Tula better for that?
I think I've got the ring sling down, but I still prefer the ktan. Having the strap on just one shoulder hurts my neck whereas the weight seems more distributed in the ktan. I wanted so badly to like the ring sling more. Oh well, DD2 hates them both currently so it doesn't really matter.

I'm dying to see how this turns out!
Me too. Right now it had me stressed because there are a couple spots where the dye isn't saturating through so I am worried it isn't going to turn out very good.

My thoughts on the Tula v ergo debate: Tula is nice, pretty prints, lasts a very long time as long as your kid isn't super long. Ergo is my preference, even though it doesn't last as long height wise. It is fully adjustable everywhere and I like I can buckle the straps instead of having to slide them on like the Tula. I felt it was a more secure fit that way too, since the straps are positioned a little differently than the Tula.

They don't suggest the rolled up blankets because then it's not ergonomic and can be bad for baby's hips. The inserts are $40, I decided against it because I have other carriers to use until then. Or, I think I mentioned this in a previous post, Lillebabys are like a Tula, great resale, and can be used from newborn up. The Lillebaby Airflow is great for hotter climates; whereas a Tula can get pretty warm.
I'm considering a wrap or ring sling. How do I decide which one to start with? A wrap would be cheaper but a ring sling looks easier...maybe? DS will be 4 weeks by the time I get one in my hands if that makes a difference. I feel a little lost.

Wraps are much more versatile, but have a learning curve. As LO grows, they will be more comfortable, as the distribute the weight over both shoulders, as opposed to one. RS are good for quick uppies, as wraps take a bit more time to get situated. Watch some tutorials on YouTube to get an idea of how to wrap. Check out FWCC. It's the carry that everyone learns first.
