My Baby Wearing Stash

Links are included.
- Introduction -
My first introduction to babywearing was when I received an average baby carrier from a local store at my baby shower. It didn't know anything about baby wearing and quality carriers, but it seemed like a good idea in theory. My first child was around 4-6 months old, on the lighter side, when I decided to use it. Because the carrier was flimsy, it hurt my back and shoulders. I couldn't imagine using a carrier as the baby got bigger. I left with the impression that baby carriers were probably great for newborns or extremely light babies. I didn't get interested into baby wearing or baby carriers until I had my second baby. By this point, I had joined a mother's group based on the fact that most did extended breastfeeding and cloth diapering. They shared with me their knowledge about baby wearing and I've been hooked ever since.

 Second Baby
I did baby wearing with my second, slowly growing my stash. 
This is how long I felt I could use the carriers comfortably.
These were my first 4 carriers.

 Newborn - 6 months: Maya Ring Sling
Newborn -12 months: Infantino Sash Mei Tai
Newborn - 2 years: Ergo Baby Original Carrier 
Newborn - 2 years: EllaRoo Woven Wrap
Third Baby
I am babywearing my third.
This is how long I felt I could use the carriers comfortably.
These are the 5 different carriers I plan on using from newborn-3 years. 

 Newborn (Skin to Skin after Delivery): NuRoo Pocket Skin to Skin
Newborn -12 months: Infantino Sash Mei Tai
Newborn - 3 years: Ergo Baby Original Carrier 
Newborn - 2 years: EllaRoo Woven Wrap
Overview
Out of all the carriers I have tried so far, the Ergo brand is by far my favorite and the carrier I used the most. As soon as my babies have been big enough, I have used it all the way through toddlerhood. While I do like my woven wrap, I can't say its the easiest baby carrier to use. It is the one I like to use the least when going out. I have tried alot of Infantino brands, because the prices are so affordable ($30-50). Even though the Ergo's cost more money ($100+), they  can last a long time and can be used with subsquent children if they aren't too worn.

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test (Blue Dye)

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test  with Blue Dye (+ / - ) This is what a negative looks like: Side Note: Blue dyes are often said to more frequently give false positives than pink dye. Some online boards that will tweak (alter) a pregnancy test photo to help individuals identify if the test is a faint positive or indeed negative, often will not do blue dyes.

Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

  My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis. After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad. Layer on a witch hazel perineal liner, perineal cream, or both. Attach an optional heating pad for cramping. It’s completely customizable depending on what your body needs that day. I also want to mention the liners pack...

I am not being paid to promote any of them and do not receive payments. Skin sensitivity may impact your experiences with these products. Recovering from my laparoscopy has been a journey, and honestly, some days are more uncomfortable than others. Over the past week, I’ve found a few products that have made a huge difference in how I feel—both physically and mentally. Here’s what’s been helping me get through it: 1. Body Wash That Feels Safe Before and after surgery, I wanted something gentle that still felt clean. I’ve been using Dove Antibacterial Body Wash , and it’s been perfect. It keeps the incision area clean without stinging or irritating my skin, which is such a relief.  2. Underwear That Actually Works I never thought I’d get excited about disposable underwear, but Frida Mom Disposable C-Section Underwear has been a game-changer. They’re soft, supportive, and don’t press on my stomach—exactly what ...
