Mom + Baby // Front Carry Babywearing and How it Saved Me

August 22, 2016

Baby wearing: How to Front Carry with the LILLEBaby Complete All Seasons Carrier

I owned a couple of different baby carriers with Landon. I registered for them out of principle, but never found the need to REALLY use them.  Probably because he was an only child and I only had one kid to worry about. I used them only when he was fussy and having a tough day, but that was the extent of it. The second kid has been an ENTIRELY different story.

I’m calling it now, Noelle is going to be my wild child. She’s been a tough cookie from the start. In a world where Landon must have everything lined up and in order, Noelle is Godzilla ripping it all down.    In the early days of being a mom of two, I found myself struggling to get anything done (although I’m still like that, who am I kidding) because I would be trying to juggle a 3 year old and cranky baby on top of it. And that’s when I remembered this beautiful creation: the baby carrier.

My baby carrier is LIFE. Literally life. I don’t know where I would be without it. I have multiple carriers scattered wherever I’ll need them, specifically one in my car and in the house. They are the solution to all of my problems when trying to juggle things with two kids. I’ve cooked (carefully!) with her in the carrier. I’ve cleaned with her in the carrier. Hell, I’ve even used the bathroom with her in the carrier. It’s a must-have for all parents with a baby and older siblings!

I’ve never been one for all the different carrying styles (mainly because I’ve never taken the time to learn), so I always just stick with the front carry for Noelle. In these photos we are sporting the LILLEBaby Complete All Seasons Carrier, which I love because of its temperature-control panel. I also love that it’s lightweight and easy to put on and take off. Noelle loves it too! Baby wearing has literally saved my sanity.

While I’m showing you a simple front carry, The LILLEBaby can be worn in multiple positions! Check out Carly from Lipgloss and Crayons sporting her cute toddler in a back carry, Rachel Pitzel wearing her toddler in a front carry, and Molly from Still Being Molly being a total rockstar and TANDEM wearing her baby and toddler!

    I know exactly how you feel! My 2 are 3 years apart and if it wasn’t for our baby carrier, I don’t know where I would be! My youngest was really fussy but she loved being carried, so it was perfect AND let me still get things done. The only bad thing is that I look at all these other types of carriers (wraps, slings, etc.) and I want them all!

    I am a mom of two boys, 4 & 7, and a 4 month old baby girl. With fall sports starting and spending 5 of my 7 days at a football or soccer field, I would love a front carrier that is comfortable even on those warmer days and allows for that mommy baby contact that my little one so enjoys!

    So many of my friends use baby carriers and rave about them so a carrier is definitely something I have been researching in order to find the most comfortable. I really like how this one has the extra support at the bottom and that you mention how easy it is to use!!

    I’m loving the one you have! The temp control is such an important feature to have too.

    Like you, I didn’t really get in to babywearing until baby #2. Now I wish I had worn my first as well, because I’m addicted to babywearing! It’s so special to be close to baby and feel her snuggle in. It’s also an absolute lifesaver when corralling a toddler! I would love to have another carrier (I have a Lillebaby Complete All Seasons in Charcoal and Berry that I scored during an open box sale). Having an extra carrier would be amazing so I wouldn’t risk forgetting my carrier at home! I would chose a Complete All Seasons in Frosted Rose (if it was available) or the Embossed in Pewter! I love the grey tones, obviously! Thanks for the giveaway!!????????

    I would choose the Complete All Seasons Carrier in Stone or the Complete Airflow in Blue/Aqua. We are a hot-natured family which means we are pretty much always sweaty–gross, but true. And I have two boys (a 3yo and a 2 month old) so trying to wrangle them is always a heated mess so I definitely see the benefits of the 3D mesh–we need breathability to the max! We also live in the South, where the weather can be HOT and HUMID! And we can get fairly cold winters as well!

    This baby carrier is so cute!! And it looks like it provides good support as well. And the temp control is great!

    I have two kiddos. With my first I used the Baby Bjorn and with my second I used the Happy Baby Wrap. My second (14 months now) is hefty. Lol. So the Happy Baby Wrap didn’t work well for her for very long. It just wasn’t supportive enough for me. This carrier looks like it would have given more of the support that I needed.

    Great post!

    Btw, I’m a brand new fan! I just listened to Boss Girl Creative: Episode 7 and loved it! I’m on a journey of learning about blogging so that hopefully I will start my own lifestyle blog someday! Your lifestyle blog is very similar (topic-wise) to what I like and what I’m interested in doing. I’m always inspired by successful lifestyle bloggers as so many people seem to try to push the “Pick ONE niche!” idea. So I’m glad I have a new blogger to look up to! 😀
