RE: my babywearing registry if you will
Hey Megs,
I'm no expert, but here's what worked for me: The KKAFP. I used it almost exclusively. I did find that to keep my lower back from aching that I needed to carry her tight and up high. That's why I like the adjustability of the KKAFP. I also have a Moby that I think I used once or twice. It was just too complicated to get on and off. I figured it out, but the KKAFP was much easier to use, so I always grabbed it. I also have a mei tai, but I did not use that with DD when she was a newborn. I didn't buy it until later on. I also have a Lucky Baby pouch, which is just okay. Like I said, I really, really liked the KKAFP and would still be wearing DD#1 today if I hadn't been put on bed rest for 7 weeks of this pregnancy and now I have a separated pelvis and shouldn't be carrying her at all.
I would be more than happy to mail you the Moby if you want to try it out. It's just been sitting in the closet for the last year! Email me through the boards and let me know. I'd offer you the Lucky Baby, too, but I think you are a bit smaller than I am and it wouldn't fit you. And I plan to use the KKAFP and the mei tai as soon as DD#2 pops out. Let me know.
