Safe baby wearing options for 3 day old 7lb baby?

What is a safe harness for a 7lb newborn so i can do contact naps around the house while keeping him up right? I think my current carrier is only suitable from 8lb onwards. I suspect its going to be a cloth wrap? But i dont know if there are easier options that i will be able to do by myself without having to google every time? TIA!

I’ve been using the momcozy carrier which is 7lbs and over but also been using the ryloo wrap which is really good x

Ring sling or cloth wrap

I would see if you have a sling library near you who can advise you the safest ones and can help you fit it, they’re amazing you can try on multiple different slings and can also rent one for a month to try out

If you don’t like it after a week or so you can go swap it and keep going until you find one you like over that month x

My boy was 5lb when he was born and used the material slings from a week old so wouldn’t have been anywhere near 7lb, once you’ve done the material ones a couple times you’ll get it, I actually found it easier to put on by myself than a clip carrier x

The lillebaby dragon fly is a solid one. Its like a soft wrap but goes on like a tshirt. Love it.

Then my go to outside of the house or when im really busy with house stuff is my happy baby onbuhimo- because that carrier can be used to front carry from newborn (as long as baby is 7lbs+) until theyre like 1! BUT you can back carry them without compromising their hios or spine and they get to have their head lined with yours and aee everything! So you dont world face them in the front! We used it until our daughter was about 2.5 and now we use it with our 2nd!

I’m using the izmi wrap, it’s passed the safety standards and has a good guide on how to use safely. I think momcozy do a newborn size carrier also if you’d prefer that like the one everyone is using.

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? 🥲

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 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
