Discuss TULA’s “next chapter”?

TULA hasn’t even hinted at it on their socials but I’m signed up for their newsletter and it looks like there’s going to be a rebrand? Or they’re discontinuing their current styles and coming out with a brand new carrier? Personally so curious to see what this “new chapter” will bring… maybe an apron style carrier??? What are y’all’s thoughts?

0-3 months Plus size with 2 month old, breastfeeding in carrier & recommendations

Upvotes

I am 5'5 and 270lbs. My husband is 6'3 and 400lbs. We have a 2 month old 9lb baby. Is there a carrier that will fit us both?

I have a Baby K'tan (which after lurking on this sub, realize I need to seriously adjust the position of) but it seems like it will be too small for my husband. We also have a Lark size long but our baby is too small according to their instructions.

We also have a wrap from Amazon that is just a long peice of fabric but it is too short to tie properly according to the instructions.

I would like something that we can both wear comfortably and safely that will grow with baby if possible. A bonus would be if its easy to put on and take off. I am open to any recommendations, please help a FTM out!

BONUS: I would LOVE to breastfeed while wearing our baby. I have giant long breast with nipples at the bottom, pointing down. Is there a way to do this while baby wearing? I tried in the Baby K'tan but my breast tissue flattened out over baby's face and blocked their airway.

Thank you so much!

My baby is 9 weeks and this specific carrier claims to be suitable for newborns without an insert. However I find the fabric around the neck so sharp? There is not any cushion to it. I borrowed this carrier, but sometimes it literally makes lines in his neck/face. Anyone the same problem? I don't think I wear it wrong.. but everytime I wear it I feel I need to protect his neck with my hand in between the fabric :/

Discuss Strange baby carrier being advertised on Instagram? Seems unsafe

Post image
22 Upvotes

I keep getting ads for this carrier on Instagram and I’m curious if anyone knows anything about it or has looked into the safety of this style of carrier. To me, it feels inherently unsafe and I’m so confused as to what possible use this could have? How is this easier than either putting baby in a proper carrier or just into a bassinet stroller. So bizarre?

I know this isn't right but not sure how to fix it! Even when I reach in to do a pelvic tilt, baby reverts back into this position. Maybe the straps are too tight?

Discuss Tall, Plus-Size Husband

1 Upvotes

Hi all! My baby is coming in about 6 weeks and my husband and I are currently looking for baby carriers. My husband is 6'6 and is on the bigger side - a typical carrier definitely wouldn't fit him (we tried with the ergo baby embrace I bought for myself). Does anyone have any recommendations for very tall, larger people? Thank you!

8-18 months Is it safe for my baby to nap like this in a back carry?

She is 9 months old, and has been sitting independently for a couple of months now!

The hood and the way her face is pressed into my back (especially when she shifts so that her nose is right up against it) feel like suffocation hazards😭 Without the hood her head hangs backwards when I start to get to work around the house which doesn’t feel right either!

Also, is photo #3 a rebreathing hazard?

Thank you so much❤️

Hello again! This is my second attempt at baby-wearing with a woven wrap. I posted a couple weeks ago and I was way off. I've since watched the recommended videos many times and was hoping to get some feedback on my second attempt. Baby feels secure, but a bit worried about circulation to baby's feet?

Modeled off this recommended video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mvkjUOy6HXI&pp=0gcJCYsCo7VqN5tD

Thank you very much to the pros who helped us out in our previous post, as well!

Discuss Carrying vs wearing world facing

7 Upvotes

I have a general question that has bugged me for a while. I get the concerns about world facing, however my little one refuses to be carried otherwise. So I have to always carry him in a way that he sees the most of the world. This has been the case since he was just a few weeks old.
Now he is still too young to be world facing in a carrier but I wanted to know what the difference between carrying him around all the time world facing and him being in a carrier world facing is.

English is not my first language, so I hope it’s not too confusing and please excuse any mistakes :)

still pregnant h&p sprout or wrap carrier for newborn?

1 Upvotes

my now 18m LO has done great in the hope and plum lark since he fit in it. when he was a newborn i never found a carrier that i felt good in (was also just new to baby wearing).

i'm looking into a carrier for baby #2's newborn phase-- would a wrap carrier or the hope and plum sprout be better to bridge from newborn to lark? LO #1 was born at 5lb 1oz, so #2 may also be small. tia!

Hi, this is how my husband wears our daughter in the ergobaby carrier. I think she is too loose but he won’t tighten it much more because he thinks she will be too tightly pressed into him. Looking for some ideas and critiques for how we can appropriately wear her. Thanks!

Discuss Tula FTG vs Explore

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I got the Tula FTG with my first baby and loved it! We used it almost daily and went hiking, traveling, do chores, etc. Everything in it, my baby loved it and I would still use it if it wasn't because I got pregnant and it is really worn and used.

Fast forward to my second baby, I added and got the Tula Explore in my registry (someone bought it so I have it now), in my mind it was a better version of the FTG.

It is new, I haven't used it yet but wanted to know the pros and cons of each one, since I am considering selling it and getting a second FTG. Should I keep the Explore? I know it will also depend on how the new baby feels in the Explore but I just had a great experience with the FTG that I am scared of not liking the Explore.

Thanks!

3-12 months Fit check Osprey carrier

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

I got this bougie osprey carrier but whenever I’ve tried to baby wear, the little one hates it. I’ve tried wearing him in a wrap when he was smaller, and he didn’t like it. I bought a cheaper Safety First carrier at tj maxx and it’s worked the best so far in that he stays in it for 20 mins max before getting cranky. He’s bigger now, 5 1/2 months, good trunk and neck control, and this osprey carrier says that he can be world facing now. He seemed to enjoy it much more but I’d still like some advice. Thank you!

Edit:
Thanks everyone! Baby can mostly sit unassisted and only falls over sometimes haha. But understood, no world facing until he sits unassisted. It seems like there are issues with this carrier in general. Might have to pass on it overall. Thanks for the input!

He just meets the newborn weight requirements but still looks a little small for this carrier? His legs and feet don't really want to hang outside the waistband.
