Question about Baby Wearing

Posted by on Apr. 21, 2012 at 2:01 PM

After dd4 was born, I started to hear about baby wearing. So, at six months, I decided to give it a try. She stays in the "hug hold" and seems to like it. I don't leave her that way for a long time. Maybe about 15 minutes. My question is, is it possible she could be loosing circulation to her legs? They always feel cold while being worn. Even if she has pants on. I don't have it on too tight or too loose. Does this happen to anyone?

How much does she weigh? Do you make sure the material goes from knee to knee with a good seat for the baby. The moby kind of maxes out in comfort for mom and baby around 20lbs. A woven or gauze wrap is good after the moby

She is under 20 lbs. I think about 14 maybe 15. Yeah, she sits fine in it. She does move around a lot though.

All my kids have cold legs when worn in any of my carriers I just think it is normal, kids keep their heat in their core.

In a stretchy wrap this can happen if baby weighs too much. I would consider a non stretchy wrap or structured carrier

I couldn't use my stretchy wrap after 14lbs. I bought some gauze fabric from joanns and another fabric ... can't remember what kind. 5- 5 ½ yds is good ;) .... but on topic, lol, my baby gets cold legs too

You could always try the sling way of tying it. I used to stretch mine so it covered dd's legs. =) maybe when you're at home, see if her legs turn blue or look like the circulation is being cut off?
