New to baby wearing, anyone know any carriers or slings that won't leave marks

My baby loves to chew on the sides of her carrier and it gets so gross and wet but I can deal with that, problem is its quite hard material and she gets little red Chelsea grin type lines across her face when she does, it must not hurt as she doesn't seem bothered or stop but it makes me feel bad, I just wondered if anyone had a child that does the same but carrier that doesn't leave marks? Picture so you know the type we are using, only brought as it was massively reduced and moneys a bit tight right now!

You can get strap covers that they can chew on instead of the actual carrier. They often are a soft, thick fabric, with Velcro that wraps around the area of the carrier or wrap that many babies chew on, and come in lots of different patterns out there. Maybe that would also provide a softer surface for her face when she leans against the edge, although I don't know for sure.

I know Lenny Lamb sells things like that, and they aren't the only brand that does. Some carriers come with them, too.

I have a baby Björn mini in the cotton fabric and it’s very soft. My LO chews on the side as well and I haven’t seen any marks as far as I’m aware. They are also machine washable

The marks are like sock marks. If they fade after a while and baby doesn't seem too bothered, it should be fine. As Emmons says Lenny Lamb does suck pads. Or Annie's accessories makes lovely suckpads and other carrier covers for cold times too

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗
