[blparent] Baby Wearing

[Jennifer Woods]

I used an ergo baby and I loved it! I also tried a few of the wraps but had too hard of a time figuring out how to put those on by myself. For me I did not feel that they provided enough support.

Hi Niko.
We have a Beko Gemini baby carrier and we are very happy to use it in
our house as well as outside. Liam Is 7 months old now and he enjoys
very much to be in his slings.
He even falls asleep in the carrier. It has buckles and it takes abit
getting used to hold him and buckle up at the same time. We started up
by putting him down then put the sling on and then in the baby went.
We still carry him on the  front  either facing towards us or facing
out. Now that he is growing older he most of the time enjoys looking
around watching his surroundings and thus we place him facing out
unless he is tired.
We will soon progress to carrying him on our back either in the Beko
or later in a pack carrier I guess.
When walking outside alone with him we use our white cane and that
works fine for both of us.
HTH, Jesper.
