Weekend Reflections- Preparing for Flying Solo
R will be off on another business trip at the end of next week. This will be when the challenge really begins. I am now getting everything ready for facilitating the handling of the 3 kids on my own.
This will be Riona’s new carry position within the ergo. I just purchased the organic ergo carrier with the infant insert. I already have the MIM Sling and recently a girlfriend of mine gifted me a baby pouch. Those are very compact and handy items to bring about/use when out with the baby alone. However if I’m going to be out grocery shopping or with all 3 kids it could be quite dangerous. Riona still needed to be supported with one hand as her neck is still not steady and I do not have two free hands to hold both the boys. At 1.5mths old she can only be put in the cradle position and both the sling and the pouch doesn’t have much neck support.
There were two different carrier which I was considering- The Baby Bjorn or the Ergo. We went to test both at the shop. The Baby Bjorn carrier is much cheaper and lighter then the Ergo. However it would only last her till she is 1 years old and is not suitable for babies under 3 months old. The other plus point is that it could let the baby face outwards when they are bigger while for the Ergo it is strictly inside facing.
After much deliberation on which carrier I should get I decided on this blue Ergo one below. Doesn’t it look trendy?

That carrier will make flying solo without your hubby a lot easier. Getting your hands free to juggle everything is key and this is actually a really comfortable way to carry the little one.
