You’re so welcome. 😊

Have you made the seat wider on your Omni 360? There are Velcro tabs near the waistband. The zips on the Manduca XT are to adjust the height of the panel if needed.

You’re more than welcome! 😊

Yes, absolutely. Loosen the sling & lower baby to the right height - remember that whilst feeding a newborn you ARE NOT going to be hands free.

You are more than welcome. Be aware, it may not fit straight away. This carrier fits best once babies have lost their “newborn scrunch” & are over approx 4-4.5kgs.

They are hanging over the newborn flap.

Yes, the baby’s bottom should sit on the internal seat, with their feet either side.

You're very welcome!😊

You're very welcome!😊

Sounds like it needs to be tighter. 👍🏼

You're most welcome. 🙂

Glad I could help! 🙂

Yes, you don’t need it. 👍🏼

I’m glad it helped! 😊

Oh no, so sorry! Honestly, I don’t think it will be any good in the facing away position. Try it without narrowing the seat. What you’re looking for is for your baby to be in a proper seated position, so you want the support under their thighs.

Hi. Yes, for babies of average birth weight, it would be fine by 9wks.

I’m glad it was helpful. 👍🏼

You're welcome 😊

Both of those slings have their drawbacks. The BabyBjorn may not provide the most comfortable fit for everyone, while the ErgoBaby Aerloom may not last as long as you’d like. It is similar to the Ergo baby embrace but slightly larger and more complex to use. I’m currently trying to find time to make some Aerloom videos, so watch this space. If you want to choose between only those brands, I’d go for the ErgoBaby Omni Breeze or Dream. It will fit in the first few weeks, lasts to around 18m & fits a wide variety of adult wearers, so is easy to share. Hope that helps.

You’re welcome! Glad it was helpful. 😊

Blimey - asking me to limit it to 5 might be a struggle! 🤣 I’ll give it some thought. Comparing slings/carriers for different ages/stages (newborn/toddler/facing away/back carrying) might be an idea though?

⁠haha yes totally understand 😅 - your idea about different stages is great though! That would be a really good video to start with and one could then go to your different deep-dive videos for each carrier to help guide choice 😊

Glad it was helpful! 😊

So glad it was helpful. 😊

Glad it was helpful. 😊

You are so welcome! 😊

You’re absolutely right - this video isn’t intended as a quick reference guide, it’s an in depth look at the carrier & how it works. I hope you’ve found a less detailed video to help you. 👍🏼

You're so welcome! 🙂

Sorry to hear this carrier wasn’t the right fit for you. If you’re still looking for something, see if you can find a local Sling Library or Babywearing Consultant who can help you find something that fits you better.

Thank you! 😊

Glad it helped! 😊

If you need to bend down & don’t have a hand free to give extra support to Baby’s head, then you can use the extra head support. Most of the time, you won’t need it. The majority of the support for baby’s head & neck comes from getting them in that nice (knees up/bum down) seated position- it encourages the natural curve in their spine &, when they’re relaxed, they’ll just rest their head on your chest. 👍🏼

From a Sling Library point of view, I would always get someone to try the ErgoBaby Omni Breeze over the BabyBjorn Harmony. The Harmony is the absolute best of the current BabyBjorn carriers, but the ErgoBaby just fits a much wider variety of adult wearers.

The doll is the size of a newborn who has lost the “newborn scrunch”. (The dolls have no muscle tone & so don’t curl up in the same way that lots of newborns do.) This carrier will fit a newborn (once they’re not to curled up) & is likely to still fit at around 18-24m as you simply adjust the size of the seat & height of the body panel as your baby grows. I hope that helps. 😊

Try popping your hands inside the carrier, holding his pelvis & tucking his bottom under. This will help him have a better seated position & you may find he sits a little lower. 🙂

I’m so glad it was helpful! 😊

You're so welcome! 😊

Yeah, Jayme is the size of a newborn who is no longer scrunched up. “Newborn” is really anytime in the first 8 wks.

I’m glad it was helpful! 😀

Thank you! ❤️

Thank you!! Glad the video was useful. 👍🏼

Yes - it’s the BabyBjorn Mini. ruclips.net/video/0Q9BcllSp6k/видео.htmlsi=jjCoFLnLzx5wubHf

No. Ideally you want baby in a proper physiological seated position (look up “the M position”). It’s the best way to support their developing hip joints. There’s no time limit on a sling or carrier, as long as you are following the safety guidelines. You’ll find that baby will naturally come out (for a feed/nappy change/etc), so as long as you are safe & comfortable- you’re good to go.

Have a read of this blog post - southlondonslings.co.uk/2020/06/22/why-does-my-baby-cry-in-the-sling/ If you still want a structured carrier, at over 4kg you have lots of options. I love the LennyLamb Light & the Manduca XT - both will fit now until 2-3yrs of age. They both offer front, hip & back carrying positions, but don’t facilitate the facing away position. If you want to face your baby away from you when they’re older, the best ones for that are ErgoBaby Omni 360 & Tula Explore. They’re more expensive & don’t last as long though.

It really is! Just note, that this is starting from a different position to the “standard” carry in a stretchy wrap. It’s the Pocket Wrap Double Hammock carry - seen here - ruclips.net/video/oe9OEVnubeQ/видео.htmlsi=JMTnf45QfscR7rgx
