I never did with any of my kids. I found it cumbersome.

Nope. Not a fan. And both my kids hated it too. It hurts my back and I sweat profusely.

I really, really, really, don't want to but I'm considering buying one just so I can grocery shop because my toddler is not the best behaved child surrounded by isles of food. He would still need to ride in the cart so I would have nowhere to put food

Nope. I hate it lol.

@yaya Actually, having that extra space in the grocery cart WOULD be great. Lol. I always have my 1 year old sitting in the basket and my 3 month old in his car seat inside the basket too. I'm left with VERY LITTLE space if I shop alone. Maybe I'll give it another try.

I didn't really like it at first i have huge boobs and so LO always made me hot and sweaty even in the cold winter and it killed my back. Once I moved her to back pack position I like it. It is a little difficult to get her in that position by myself tho

I purchased an ergo before dd1 was born. She hated being in her pram so it became an essential item I used with her. Only negative was that she was a summer baby and the insert made things a bit hot. I have since purchased a few ring slings as well which I used a lot with her until it hurt my hips too much in this pregnancy. I now have a hug a bub (stretchy wrap) to use for my dd2 when she is born. I love baby wearing, so does dd1 and hopefully dd2 will too. And tbh I actually hate using our pram and stroller.

My baby can only stand 30 mins after that she starts crying so I've stopped

It hurts my back ?

I don't like it either! I'm 5'3 and my baby is a big boy! It just so awkward and uncomfortable. I bought a Tula and used it like 5 times maybe ?

I couldn't stand it and I know my oldest daughter couldn't either. She actually gave me 2 of her carriers because she didn't like it. I tried it but my back just wouldn't stop aching. It's not the best generally anyway so i don't think that helped.

Having a carrier you like makes ALL the difference!!

Really. It does.

I loathe Tulas... if that was our carrier I'd hate wearing too.

I love wrapping though & wearing DD wrapped (woven wrap NOT a moby) helped me like wearing better.

It was also perfect for grocery shopping. I didn't need to use basket space for the carseat carrier and he would fall asleep on my chest while I walked around shopping. Sometimes I put a washcloth between my chest and his head because he would sometimes get sweaty. It helped me feel more comfortable if he wasn't directly against my skin all the time.

Those are exactly the ones I hated with my first 2 babies. The Moby was hot, awkward, and hurt my back. The Bjorn also hurt my back and I didn't like the dangling legs. It never felt right. With my third baby I got the Ergo Sport. I love it! It wasn't hot, my back felt fine, and I could use it easily on my own in 3 different positions. My youngest is 3 and I still use it as a backpack carrier when we go hiking.

Yaya i don't like the constant contact either. I love holding them but I feel so uncomfortable baby wearing. What kind of carrier did you use with your 3rd??

Everyone's experience is different and it's different at different times, too. I wasn't comfortable with babywearing with my first 2 babies. I was using the wrong kind of carrier so it wasn't comfortable. And I wasn't a fan of the constant contact. I was getting touched out very quickly. Honestly, I regret not doing it more with them. By the time I had my 3rd baby I found a carrier I loved and I embraced my role as primary caregiver and nurturer. I got more comfortable having my baby on me all day. It was a completely different experience and so much more fulfilling. With my first 2 babies I didn't realize how short and fleeting their babyhood is. It doesn't last forever and keeping them close is such a huge benefit for so many developmental reasons. I wish I had been more comfortable with it in the beginning.

I don't even know what kind they are. I have two but I've tried them a handful of times and now they're put away somewhere lol

ETA: one is a wrap. Either Boba or Moby can't recall. The other I think is a BabyBjorn.

I like it every now and then for out and about but not an everyday thing. What kind of career do you have op?

I like babywearing bc it works for our needs in regards to traveling out & about.... I've never been that "maternal one" where it's about keeping my kids close. lol

I didn't like it at first but then my husband told me I had my ergo on wrong. I fixed it and it's been a real game changer. I wear her all the time now!
