Hi, what do you like about the catbird baby carrier? I use an ergo baby
myself and really like it. I'm always interested in learning about different
baby carriers.
Thanks

into the list although I've been reading it for a while. I have three  young
children. I  was thinking about the most important things to have when
having a baby. And this is what I came up with. Of course, everybody has
their preferences. Also, I am apologizing in advance for this being so long.

equipment for me. I have found that the most comfortable ones are the soft
structure carriers. I have a catbird pikkolo. They are more expensive but
well worth it..

wrapping babies in a receiving blanket. It is much easier to get a safe
tight swaddle this way. It also helps to make sure that you dont  keep their
hips too tight.

bottom for you to put in Medicine This makes it a lot easier to give them
medicine.

all the time anyway.

baby in the right position. There are many to choose from you have to find
the one that you like best.

When they have a cold or I just stuffy. This tends to happen a lot in the
first few months.

nurse. This is a little hidden secret that helps the most. It is
prescription but most doctors will give it to you. Also, this is safe for
your baby while nursing. It does not get absorbed into their blood.
> 9. A cradle. I use the arms reach cradle. This attaches to the side of the
bed and also has a way to put all four sides up. There are many to choose
from but this is what Ilike because I can hear and feel my baby during the
night without getting up.
> 10. Clothing. Of course. I really like the cotton zip up one piece outfit.
They are really easy and avoid snaps. I just have to be careful not to cut
their skin. To do this, it is helpful to first do the top snap  they all
have and then zipper the rest of it. These are also very cheap.
