Yesterday, my son felt the need to nurse his cold as much as he could, and of course, that means I couldn't put him down. For some reason, I hadn't ever actually bought a baby carrier. Ever. I've borrowed several, and actually intended to buy them, but never did. Then I won a moby in an awesome giveaway hosted by
Momma in Progress. (Yes! Go check out her blog! I imagine you'll love it.) Sadly, that won't arrive for atleast another week, providing the military is speedy about their mail, which, lets be honest, never ever ever happens. That's like asking an elephant to stand completely in a one square inch space. Off to pinterest I went! Something had to be done so my arms could get a break, and maybe, just maybe, my house might find itsself a tad bit cleaner. All I found were these wraps, which you bought some cotton fabric, and then just cut it in half. I didn't have a car or a reasonable bus to take to post to find fabric, so after frantically searching my house, I found a twin bed sheet. It worked well:
Sadly, that's the best worst picture I was able to take. Atleast he finally fell asleep.
All you have to do is take a twin sheet, cut it in half hotdog style, and then sew the two shorter ends together. It might be smart to hem the edges afterward, but I didn't have the instant time. That will be done tomorrow, although, I think I might go find a fabric/different sheet to make it reversible.
Now, to buy an ergo! Definitely the best baby carrier I've tested so far.
How about you? Have you made any wraps? If not, which wrap or baby carrier is your favorite?
Ha! I was just about to send you a message and this popped up in my newsfeed. The Moby is on its way. It's coming priority mail, so in theory, 5-6 days. We'll see.
ReplyDeleteI think we should write an entire blog post based on how long MPS takes to deliver things from one base to another. Someone would care, right?
