[blparent] Baby Wearing

[Star Gazer]

				I use the Ergo, and there are a bunch of
carriers out there, Beco is one you could try. 
You need to figure out if you want buckles or if you are comfortable with
fabric that you tie or wrap. 
Get a good carrier, don't get a Snuglee or Bjorn, those are terrible. 
As to wearing your baby at home that will depend on you and your baby. 
I wouldn't worry about being clingy. Kids need all sorts of different
attention. My older daughter still sleeps in our room with us and she's in
elementary school. She seems to need to be there so we let her. Just get to
know the little person in your life and the rest will fall into place. 
Your last point about running into things, you'll learn to keep your hand
over the baby if you are concerned. Trust your gut on this and do what feels
right.

Subject: [blparent] Baby Wearing

Hi all,

I am a first time father-to-be--my wife is due in December, and I'm
wondering what everyone's experience with baby waring is.

If you ware or wore your baby, can you recommend a carrier or sling? Did you
switch after baby was a certain age?

I know a lot of people ware their babies all the time, even when doing
household chores. Is this practical, and did you do this more than putting
the baby in a play pen?

Also, I am a bit worried about running into things when I'm in an unfamiliar
environment. I have a Seeing Eye dog, so I don't typically have this issue,
and I am very comfortable with my home, so I don't have that problem their
either, but I think I will be overly cautious when I am carrying my daughter
around.

Finally, if you wore your baby a lot, did you find that he or she was more
clingy as they got older? From the research I've done, it seems like the
opposite is true, but it is still a concern of mine.
