Thanks, everyone!If there's one thing this caavrnil has taught me, it's that we all need to take more photos. :) Particularly of those things we do all the time but don't think to snap a picture of (or ask someone else to), like breastfeeding and babywearing and cosleeping (my personal challenge low light levels don't help there, sigh). I also love watching my son with his babies, and yes, their names are just that boring, Laura. :) He really gets into nurturing them when they're not tossed face down in a toy bin, you know, but such is the life of the toy of a three-year-old.As you might be able to tell from the pictures, I only really got the hang of nursing while babywearing once Mikko was old enough to sit up. Then I could do an upright front or hip carry. In the Ergo, Yullya, you have to scootch it down down down over your hips to get the angle right, but maybe it's just not working for you yet. You could try again later. A hip carry in a ring sling works easily, too. I wanted to learn to breastfeed Mikko lying down in a carrier as a newborn, but he always hated having his head covered. Go figure!I'm trying to make a bunch of mini mei tais to give as big-sib gifts to some friends who've recently had babies, along with regular mei tais for the friends. So of course they've all gone and had twins. Although, I figure if they can go through all the work of bearing twins, I can probably go through the work of making two gifts. Michelle: Mikko will wear his only for a short period, too, before he wants out. Maybe something with buckles would be easier for them?stan: It is so odd, isn't it? Here's hoping it stops being a debate soon.GrammyMouseTails: I'm always impressed with people who even try to breastfeed when they get such poor support. You did what you could, and it's sad the home nurse couldn't help you.Ah, Kristi, I'm perennially behind. You never need to apologize here for that. :)
