Yesterday my baby wrap arrived in the post. Nothing fancy, no silk mix or anything like that, cheapest I could find (almost) on eBay for £24! It is woven though and 100% cotton, stripey & purply pinky...just what I wanted!
My little one, Alice, is now 5.5 months old and I've wanted one of these wraps from the word go but could never find one to my budget/taste! My parents treated me to this one...as my maternity pay is not stretching very far these days! We have been using a handed down (from my manager at work!) baby bjorn which I feel works well with a scarf wrapped round her legs. She does also like facing outward a too and seeing what's going on. I know there are issues with hips etc with Bjorn type carriers, but mostly it's common sense use I would advocate as far as they are concerned. Anyway I just fancied a wrap as I loved the versatility and it appeals to my inner (& outer) hippy!
So today I mastered the 'front crossover wrap' as they call it....& we managed to hang out the washing together with limited fuss. I also tried to tackle a back wrap...yeah...maybe when there are two of us to grapple with Alice and the metres of material! It did work to a fashion, but Alice was not in the best of moods about it! Hey ho! Next time! (I only managed a blurred photo of this alas!)
I also tried a sideways hip wrap...(don't judge me for not knowing the names yet!)...& we managed to empty the bins and walk up the driveway with the rubbish. So I was pretty happy with that.
Tomorrow I am meeting up with another mother from netmums and going for a woodland walk. I'm going to go armed with both my wrap and my bjorn (just in case!). So I'll let you know how that goes!
Oh yeah...& I'm Rhian, by the way and these are my ramblings!
