Re: MY DH IS ANTI BABY BJORN!!

This is funny- while we were babysitting our friends' babies a little while ago, she gave me her Baby Bjorn that she used maybe twice. DH kept fidgeting with it, adjusting it to make it fit him since he's muscular...we were all laughing, he was so determined, and it was hysterical seeing it on him! Chat Icon

We'll see if he actually uses it when the time comes. I'm guessing no, he'll just carry the baby Chat Icon

I must say, from my own experience, they are not the most comfortable thing ever.

Re: MY DH IS ANTI BABY BJORN!!

my dh gave in when he realized how heavy the baby could be, he went out once without it and he said never again, now he uses it all of the time

Re: MY DH IS ANTI BABY BJORN!!

Someone told me that they can totally picture me "wearing my baby."

I'm like - am I THAT earthy crunchy looking? I guess I am... DH is totally earthy crunchy nurture-boy... he'll be all over that baby Bjorn....

Earthy Crunchy... that's too funny... DH and I are definitely NOT earthy crunchy... so maybe that's what his problem is! LOLOLOL

I would much prefer a sling over a Bjorn. You can use them right away and they are more versatile and don't leave babies legs hanging.

Before DD, DH said "hell no" to Baby Bjorn. With this baby he said we are getting one! So maybe yours will change his mind too!

Yep. A pouch sling is ideal for newborns.

Re: MY DH IS ANTI BABY BJORN!!

I have no opinion on them myself, but DH was the opposite, he was DEAD SET on putting one on the registry. He actually chose the Jeep one from BRU, b/c he liked the look of it more than the Bjorn.

He is also PRO- harness/leash....I am SO ANTI that.

My DH was the same way yet I wore it all the time when he was under 4 months. He finally decided it was cool when DS was 8 months old and could barely fit in it.

Re: MY DH IS ANTI BABY BJORN!!

Dh is anti baby carrier too. He refuses to wear it cause he feels bad for the baby, she doesn't want to get puked on, and the baby looks uncomfy in them.
He also refuses to push/carry anything pink or too girly or that looks like a purse, or any stroller that has a diaper bag hanging over the handles.

DH likes the one that Jeep makes. I like the sling. I'll let him use the Jeep one once the baby is older.

let's just see how long your DH can carry the baby for until he caves in.

Re: MY DH IS ANTI BABY BJORN!!

the baby bjorn is the one thing DH wants most of all! He is all about the baby bjorn.

re: slings - I bought a cute reversible sling from lucky-baby.com for maybe $20. They had a nice selection.

Re: MY DH IS ANTI BABY BJORN!!

I know the debate will linger on forever, but I looooooooved the "body style" infant carrier I had with my first [I had a Snugli]. It was a blessing. I didn't use the infant carrier style carseat, but did have a carrier seat someone bought for me to use in a shopping cart or out to eat...it was bulky and got on my nerves, plus it took up all the room in my shopping cart. So, I went to Target and bought one of the cute infant carriers and plopped her in it and headed to the grocery store. The only time it was not convenient was at the mall if I wanted to shop for clothes b/c then I had no where to put her while I changed. Also, if I was trying to clean, but she really needed to be held, I could vacuum and dust with her attached to my front and still have 2 free hands. I made a point to check out the styles available and register for one for this baby!!

As for the men, some are into it and some aren't. I never asked DH what he thinks...he'll either use it or not. As for me, I love them.
