My Newborn List: Baby Carriers

Infantino Unisom Newborn Baby Carrier

I was so excited to get my hands on the Unison Newborn Carrier. I bought this one with my third baby. I preferred using this baby carrier better than my Ergo with a newborn insert. The newborn insert made the Ergo feel bulkier. At almost 4 months, my baby no longer could fit in this. According to the product, it says weight limit is 8-25 lbs. I felt my baby outgrew this product long before he was weighing 20 pounds. It is a newborn carrier to use with a new baby, it's not a grow with your child sort of item.

For me, this is a splurge. If you have your first baby and plan on having more, this splurge could definitely be worth it in the long run. Then you could use it with all your newborns and get your use out of it, versus buying an item you'll use once on your last or only baby for 2-4 months. The $30 price tag doesn't break the bank either, which is nice.

Also, read the directions before trying to put this product on. Even if you are familiar with baby carriers or get how it should look by glancing at the box. I would consider myself someone somewhat knowledgeable about baby carriers. I didn't read the directions first and got my straps tangled a couple of times in the beginning.

Oct 2016 Update: Would I buy it again? Probably not. Once baby outgrew it, I was no longer able to use it. I also have big babies, so that can affect my experiences with a product that moms of smaller babies may be able to use longer.

Implantation Dips & Raised BBT

An Implantation Dip is when your basal body temperature (BBT) dips below your cover line post ovulation, usually said to occur around 7 to 9 days pass ovulation on average and then continues to rise without falling below the cover line again. 3 to 5 days pass ovulation for implantation dips is said to be rare. Some believe implantation dips are myths, because of varying results in dips and outcomes for pregnancy. Usually it is said when your BBT stays above your cover line without dipping below the cover line, it is a sign that you're pregnant. This is just a theory, but it seems for some early implantation dips, may lead to earlier positive pregnancy tests. The exception to early implantation dips theory I have found is that some women get early positive pregnancy tests as a result of having a multiples pregnancy, some women gets dips in many of their cycles that do not result in pregnancy and some women like me don't get dips during a c...

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.
