You see us in public. What do you say?

As title says, I’m a FTM and would love some feedback. I have a 10 week old. He’s 14 lbs and 25 inches long. I have the ergobaby embrace.

We’re going to the zoo this weekend with his cousins and I was planning on using this if the stroller isn’t working.

So if you saw me in public, what would you say?

"Cute baby, love to see the babywearing!"

The fit looks good overall, but you might want to look into another carrier as a next step. He's not fully being supported knee to knee anymore, and at 14lbs you'll likely start to feel the weight of this a lot faster than if he was still smaller because of the stretchy fabric. I'd also want to see him have a bit more room for his head at the top, but without compromising the fit in other ways I'm not sure if there's much you can do to improve it right now. He isn't in an immediately dangerous position, but I know there's comfier options out there for both of you at this point!

Thank you for the advice! I see what you’re saying. I have another carrier that I think will work for supporting knee to knee.

Cute baby! That’s what I’d say. But your baby may just be outgrowing this carrier — a lot of people find around the 15lb mark to be when this carrier no longer offers the support they need.

Good to know! I have another carrier that might work too
