My baby is now 3 months and in the 10th percentile. She's long but thin. So far I used the manduca sling and the marsupi classic for her. But a stretchy wrap is starting to become uncomfortable and does not feel secure enough anymore and the marsupi looks like she'll outgrow it soon.

I really like the feeling of a wrap but would prefer something easier to put on. So I found the meh-dai carriers from hoppediz hop-tye and didymos didytai.

Is that kind of carrier in general good to wear until baby doesn't want to be worn anymore? Are those two carriers both suitable for my purposes? I honestly don't know where to start looking because I learned from this sub that the descriptions from the shops are not always safe.

I'm situated in Germany, so if you have other suggestions for carriers, please only ones sold in the EU ^^

Hello,

my baby (3 months) prefers to be worn and hates the pram. Now that the sun is getting warmer, I noticed she gets a lot of sun into her face unless I actively give her shade with my hands.

I'm aware that most inbuilt sun covers are an asphyxation risk (is that how it's spelled?). But I imagine a simple sun hat would not work because they smush their faces into our chest when they fall asleep and that sounds uncomfortable?

So basically, how can I babywear in summer without holding up my hands for shade all the time? Should I just wear a big rimmed hat? 😂 Or are the baby hats soft enough to work? If so, I'll have to wait until we grow into them. My baby is in the 10th percentile and I have yet to find a store selling sunhats in such a small size.
