The real reason I wore Myla for the first time in a baby carrier was because I was too nervous that I wouldn't be able to figure out how to lock the infant car seat into the grocery basket the right way. I had visions of myself standing in the Kroger parking lot struggling with the basket and looking like a total amateur. (This was before all the online mama hype came out claiming that you should never put the infant bucket seat into the front of a grocery cart since "a running child might knock your cart over making your baby fall." I shop at 8:00am, so it's just the Livingston girls and the senior citizens perusing Kroger at that time. An elderly person has never been running through the store and rammed my cart! I digress).
I liked to keep it simple with either my Balboa ring sling or the mei tai that my mother-in-law made (holla!).
Myla @ 2 months
Piper @ 6 months
They were so little and cute back then!
Myla, on the other hand, takes a different approach. Say you're hanging around the house with no pants and your baby is fussy. Solution-- stick her in your shirt.
Easy as that.
Your kids crack me up.
ReplyDeleteI keep meaning to ask you, how do you like the mei tai from MIL? I was thinking of having my mom make me one but wanted to know what you thought about it first. And as always, I love reading your blog.
