Baby carrier for 6lb baby

My baby is almost 3 weeks old and a little over 6lbs. I want to put her in a baby carrier but the ones I have are for 8lbs and up. Does anyone have know of any baby carriers that can work with a smaller baby?

You’d want a ring sling or any stretchy wrap carrier.

I’m having the same problem my baby is a month old and still only 6 pounds! Can’t put her in anything I have 😩

Any carrier is fine as long as it’s safe! I’m scared to use my current carriers

I used a wrap carrier for my daughter she was born at almost 5 pounds and It was safe for her

My wrap carrier also says 8lbs and my baby is still in the 6lb range :(
I wanna be able to baby wear so I can do stuff around the house easier

I use a moby wrap carrier for my son. He was about 7.5 pounds when I started using it. For the most part the ones that say 8+ pounds are still safe as long as you are making sure their faces aren't covered and they can breathe.

Hipster Plus Seat and in accessories you'll find an infant insert, it's good from newborn to 4,months and the Hipster Plus Seat is good until 4years old! So it's definitely something that will last a while. I absolutely love mine, used it with my first and now using with my second.

Same my baby boy only 6&2 I love baby wearing he doesn’t fit in any of the baby carriers I bought, 🤦🏽‍♀️

Newborn stage, I always recommend the wrap. It’s easy to use once you get used to it and keeps baby close, which is exactly where they want to be

Thanks all! She’s getting fussy and I’m tired carrying her all the time. I have a wrap carrier, I’ll try it out and see how she does with it

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.
