Finally… Photos of my first DIY Scandi-style Mei Tai
Posted (reneeholiday) in attachment parenting, babywearing, diy, sewing on March-12-2008

I’ve been wearing my new fluffy Scandi-style MEI TAI for almost a week now and I really love it! There are a few edits I need to make, like a totally new sleep hood and the little loops for the hood to connect/tie onto. (I actually don’t know what I was thinking on this sleep hood! lol) And I’d like to have a utility loop on the belt, probably.

But in terms of comfort, I’m VERY happy! So without further adieu…

My son hated being in a carrier. I had to hold him in my arms constantly. I love the last picture!

@ Jordanna, thanks!
@ Tammy, wow… that must have been a challenge! I guess it’s one of those things that you’re thankful for the time you had to hold him… BUT. At first, DD hated the carrier, too! But I went to a local babywearing meeting and they helped me get a better position, and DD fell asleep immediately! She’s enjoyed being in a carrier since! Thanks for the compliment! Yeah, I’m SOOOOO lucky that DH is an amazing photographer!

That’s pretty cool. We are having another daughter in July and I really want a baby carrier. Love the pattern…it would be perfect for a little girl.
