I was still using the K'Tan when Keira was 9 months. I absolutely love this photo taken at the end of last summer. My sweet baby has the darkest, most mysterious eyes.

Some of the best times we had babywearing were happily at home, just relaxing together. I love feeling my newborn's soft chubby little cheek resting on my chest.
We also went for some short hikes and the soft organic cotton kept baby warm and cozy.
We LOVE Babywearing!
These carriers that go on like a t-shirt are awesome. So easy to fold up to put in the diaper bag. I haven't tried the K-tan but I have tried the JJ Cole agility. Love that this one is organic!!
ReplyDeleteThe fabric is very soft and since baby is chewing on it I love that it's organic too!
DeleteHave been hearing you rave about the K-tan! I really liked the Moby but ultimately ditched it because of all the wrapping! Plus- my husband would NEVER use it...he claimed that "nobody was happy" when he was trying to wrap it...would love the K-tan!
ReplyDeleteIt's so easy! You can't really share it with you hubby (unless you are the same size) but personally I always wanted to wear her! You will love it.
DeleteWith my first baby I gave in to my husbands wish and bought the Baby Bjorn... Guess who never used it and who was stuck with the one she did not want. Second time around I really want the K-tan :)
ReplyDeleteI highly recommend the KTan for newborns and infants (up to 7-9 months). I switched to the Boba primarily after that. I've never tried the Bjorn but have heard that it's not comfortable compared to KTan or Boba.
DeleteI have several carriers but not a K'Tan. #2 is super needy so he's constantly worn.
ReplyDeleteFelicity- I have a needy one too, I hear you! K'Tan is great for high needs babies! I didn't realize I had a high needs baby for several months because I just wore her all the time.
DeleteThis looks so much easier than the Moby!
ReplyDeleteAmy- I've never tried the Moby but have used a woven wrap and yes this is easier. Mostly because the fabric is not long, it's just two loops that you criss cross. It takes maybe two times practicing in the mirror and after that you'll be a Pro... I had family members so impressed that I could get baby in there in just a few seconds. And she would also just pass right out while I walked around. She actually slept through a friends baby shower in there!
DeleteI am expecting #2 in August and plan on baby wearing a lot while chasing my toddler! The other wraps and carriers I used with him were so bulky and complicated! I am dying for a K'tan! It looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt's soft, small, and easy- you'll love it!
DeleteI have a 3 month old and this would help me with shopping trips, especially when I have to take my other two kids along. The baby k'tan looks so nice!
ReplyDeleteThis was my favorite for grocery shopping trips when baby was still a baby!
DeleteI bought one second hand that's a little too small. I would love to have one that fits!! It's such a great carrier!
ReplyDeleteApril- Getting the right fit is important. Hang on to that too-small one if you are newly postpartum. As your body shrinks, you may prefer that tighter fit.
DeleteWe just had triplets in April and we decided it was best to get around using a double stroller and a baby carrier (triple strollers are super heavy!) Winning this would help us financially and also looks awesome too!
ReplyDeleteJulian- Congrats times three!
DeleteMy baby girl is almost 3 months and likes to be held all the time. I have a wrap carrier but it's a lot of work to wrap and unwrap especially since I basically have to wear her all day. I'd love a k'tan to make carrying my little girl a little easier!
ReplyDeleteSarah- I can definitely relate to that! K'Tan is great for high needs babies.
DeleteMy little girl is 3 weeks old & has reflux issues & needs to be upright most of the time. I would love one of these carriers to be able to accomplish more without having to put her down somewhere. I would wear this everywhere! The airport, the store, the mall, the park. I would love one & I'd even get my husband into baby wearing!
ReplyDeleteWe are expecting our first baby soon, and I am really looking forward to babywearing. I just love how it keeps your baby close, and allows you to be hands free as well. Not to mention we could use this for running errands, going to the park, beach, zoo and when we travel. I love that the K'tan is organic, especially since I would love to use with my newborn. Not to mention it looks comfy for the baby and baby wearer.
ReplyDeleteI have a ring sling that I enjoy using with my 15-month-old, but would love something a big snufflier for the girl we are having an about 6 weeks :)
ReplyDeleteI would love this for my baby girl due any time now! :)
ReplyDeleteI used an ergoBaby for my first, but would like to try the baby k'tan organic for my next 1. It looks so cozy!
ReplyDeleteWe have baby #2 due soon and a baby k'tan carrier would be great for being hands free and running after my toddler
ReplyDeleteI was too afraid to wear my son when he was little and now we are having another baby in a few weeks. I really don't want to miss out on baby wearing him when he is a newborn and the baby ktan organic seems like the perfect carrier for infants. thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteMy wife started baby wearing our first at around three months postpartum and we haven't regretted it one bit! She is constantly buying wraps to try and struggles so much with them. Now expecting baby number two, the Ktab will defiantly be put to good use with both of the babies. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteThis will not be the case if a baby in a tutu skirt, as it is available in all long or short sizes for all aged babies. Just be sure to pick an appropriate size for your baby or toddler.Automobilinės kėdutės
ReplyDeleteYou will also be more comfortable if your baby's weight is held high and close against your body Nick Starks
ReplyDeleteBaby wearing" as it's called, only came to my attention after the hospital gave us a booklet on how to comfort your crying child. baby wrap

Oh my I love all the prints... especially this funky tag carrier. However I would highly reccommend buying a wrap first for newborns and till after a year old then go to the other carriers... I loved thw wraps for my baby.
