I’m determined to use woven wraps this week, I often switch to SSCs and Ring slings and Meh Dais thinking with two its just quicker and easier, but I do miss my wraps. With my eldest (now nearly 6) I was mostly wrap user from 8 ish months right the way through (with steadily less frequency) until she started school. And tired days and overwhelming emotions led to morning school runs and one or two pick ups needing that closeness and reassurance of her going up in a wrap.
So this week I’m trying to get back to trying out various woven combinations
Day 7: Double Hammock (one child only)
My shoulders are grateful… ooh the cush of a woven and with it being double hammock the pass across my chest spreads the weight though so much more. When I was new to Double hammocks and out of practise the chest pass can be tricky to get right but its so worth it. I did a simple variation started off centre and tied at my waist.

Day 8: Reinforced Ruck, size 4 (one child only)
Time for the Local lantern parade with our eldests home made Unicorn(husband helped) and Pikachu (helped by me). We walked the entire parade with a twin each on our backs and lanterns held high danced to the drums and chatted to other people. She even won a prize and was in the paper. We enjoyed a mulled wine and it felt like Christmas and 3 happy children all getting attention and their needs met

Day 9: no no no size 3 Oscha liberty Maya
Our eldest loves animals (well they all do now) and often comments she wants a cat/dog/parrot etc but in our home pets aren’t presents but there are many that don’t have their forever homes yet so we played Sant for them and took some blankets to the local animal rescue home. Mostly all 3 wanted to look at all of the cats and rabbits but at first little man was tired and then little lady wanted milk then the switched so I managed the same carry on my non dominant side which is a little tricky.

Day 10: Double Hammock size 7 and Variation of FWCC with a size 3
School run time and it took less than 5 minutes to get both twin up. I often talk myself out of tandem wrapping thinking it will take me longer but when you wrap a lot you get quicker and better at it. You develop muscle memory

Day 11: Ruck and variation of fwcc through the ruck shoulder straps
Quick school runs with super comfy shoulders
Later a trip to the beach and ‘the Cantina’ for cake for my Birthday but I did switch to an SSC and RS so that I coud carry over my coat with the twins in full waterproofs.
I used my first higher end wrap and its still one of my favourites Firespiral Indigo Cyano seafoam its so supple and soft

Day 12: Ring Sling and a SSC
Today I’m working on very little sleep and have a migraine so I went for quick, simple and for me its my fool proof option. But I decided to try the new pretty carriers from Nek kindly on loan from SlumberRoo
