Another option is the Ergo Sling, its brilliant, you can wear baby from newborn (with an insert) up to 40lbs - front/hip/back - I liked our baby bjorn but couldnt wear Hayden from about 20lbs as it wasnt comfortable but I've tried a friends Ergo and its so so comfy.]]> Thu, 18 Jun 2009 08:34:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27044&PID=704977&title=baby-wearing#704977 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27044&PID=704915&title=baby-wearing#704915 Author: AandCsmum

Thickness like good quality t-shirt material.]]> Wed, 17 Jun 2009 22:21:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27044&PID=704915&title=baby-wearing#704915 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27044&PID=704801&title=baby-wearing#704801 Author: angel4

is the key not too thick? I kinda figure that im carrying him anyway it would probably be easier on my back to be using one of those things]]> Wed, 17 Jun 2009 18:58:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27044&PID=704801&title=baby-wearing#704801 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27044&PID=704778&title=baby-wearing#704778 Author: AandCsmum

I'm pretty sure you could use it now.

5.5 or 6m of fabric about 60cm wide. But the key is the thickness of the fabric.]]> Wed, 17 Jun 2009 18:32:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27044&PID=704775&title=baby-wearing#704775 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27044&PID=704760&title=baby-wearing#704760 Author: angel4

Ahha, you need to PM weegee (she'll be back on in the weekend) - she's made a few Mobys including one out of lace curtains!

Otherwise, here's one link and here's another

I've never used one but quite a few girls on here have so I'm sure they could answer your questions about wearing it now. Also, try slingbabies as well

when henry was a little baby he had very bad reflux so spent a lot of time in a front pack as thats the only time he was happy. The problem is it killed my back and my neck and i ended up having to see a chiropractor. I really liked having him so close to me and since having been reading about the benefits of baby wearing.
I think it would be ideal with this next baby as i will be hands free to deal with a 16month old etc. So i searched it on youtube and saw heaps of videos on ones just using a piece of material.

So what id like to know is what kinda material would i need and how wide and long would it need to be? The pieces the women were using looked very long.

oh and ps if i did make one would it be ok to carry henry in it atm while i dont have a bump? i carry him around anyway

Thanks in advance]]> Wed, 17 Jun 2009 16:16:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27044&PID=704725&title=baby-wearing#704725
