Baby carriers

In a search of a baby carrier that is supportive. Does anybody have any recommendations of what works best for them? I currently have a Moby baby carrier from target. I’m a first time Mom and I’m 4”10 . This thing makes my back hurt by just wearing it for 20 to 30 minutes. Can somebody point me in the right direction

I absolutely love the artipope baby carrier. They have cute designs, pricey but so comfortable and easy to put on. It’s worth it if you’re planning on having more kids. I used it for both kids and planning to use it for my third baby.

Ergobaby is my absolute favorite

The straps are the most comfortable I’ve ever experienced from any wrap I’ve tried. I suffer from chronic coat hanger pain & I have worn an Ergobaby carrier for hours on end without any issues

I have the artipoppe but I do feel pain/uncomfortable after a while. My husband says he doesn’t feel any discomfort . I wish I
Could test all the above mentioned carriers and see which one works best. It’s so useful to wear baby

I have an ergo carrier and a boba carrier and one of those wraps you are talking about. I liked my boba carrier for when my lo was really small. It came with a newborn insert which worked well and it was sooo great for my back and hips. The ergo omni that I have was great for when she got a little older.

What I liked about this is it felt like my child was very secure in there, safely positioned and it was supportive of my back and hips. I have a bad back to begin with so this was great to use.

The boba one was recommended to me by another mom. The ergo baby one I got because she can be front facing as well and it’s for bigger babies

As a fellow shorty I love the tush baby. I had a mom cozy and the kind that has a ton of fabric both killed my back.

I love the lark from hope and plum! Very similar to the wild bird aerial.

We love our Wildbird aerial carrier- I even used it recently with her at 20 mos - she loves to ride on my back 😁

I love the Baby Bjorn, I used for both my babies and lasts until they’re toddlers too 🥰

I would recommend finding a sling library and trying a few on. I went to one and found the Mamaruga Zensling which my husband and I both find really comfortable.

Grownsy structured soft carrier on Amazon. It’s a knock off of ones like wild bird and I’m 5 foot and haven’t had issues! I walk a couple miles a day with it and baby wear for a lot of naps so lots of hours and love it.

I use the infantino cuddle up with the fox hood on it. It’s affordable and my baby likes it

Wildbird may be findable secondhand , fwiw . Most carriers have good resale value

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰
