I noticed your carboy handle in the first picture, figure I'd add that my LHBS told me to avoid those. They stress the neck way too much, especially if you pick it up by it. They recommended I get one of these for moving mine around.
Those things make the neck snap off if any liquid is inside. You really want one of the strap-based carriers instead, like this:

Bruh. That one he chose is amateur level tacticool.
:( That does sound hectic. My registry is kinda all over the place because I've already bought a ton of stuff, but just some suggestions of some things (FTM so no idea really if these are good or not, some were recommendations from friends, some were recommendations from various online resources).
Lucie's List is probably the best resource I found online.
Oh OP, I'm sorry for the loss of your sister, truely I am. Everything must be a whirlwind atm for you and your family, my sincere condolences.
Your poor, poor parents. It's going to be rough parenting a child without being able to pick them up all the time, both for your parents and your neice. Could they afford a nanny or live in help, do you think? You could also look into day care. There are heaps of kids in 9 - 5 day care. There might be some that do pick up / drop offs which would benefit your parents. One of the hardest things is getting a kid in and out of a car seat. Do they drive at all?
Get them a baby carrier for right now. Something like this Makes it heaps easier to carry the child. Easier on your back and arms and babies love them.
Good luck, OP, I hope you're doing okay.
I think this is a front facing baby carrier, similar to a baby bjorn.
Does it seem to be on the right scale for that?
Glass carboy supporter here. I use the nylon brew straps whenever moving my glass. Next to my wort chiller, it's probably the best tool I have in my arsenal.
Lillebaby carriers are up to 55% off on Amazon right now! I snagged the Lillebaby complete all seasons for $76 (normally $140)!
If you're careful and don't use one of those carboy handles, you'll be fine. This is the carrier you want.
This is the model I have, but I went to a babywearing meet-up group today (we get together to see other carriers, try them out, buy/sell, and borrow) and there were women doing it in mei tai style carriers and kinderpacks, any type of carrier like those make it pretty easy. My little one is just shy of 3 weeks old! It's a little difficult with him because he is so little. I tried it again and was successful, but he unlatched a little more often that time. Not too bad though.
One of the moms at the meetup group showed us this awesome trick! She breastfeeds her daughter in a ring sling and she bought a bunch of 3 dollar tanks at old navy cut the straps and sewed them into a loop that goes over a nursing bra. This website explains it. So she wears either the same color or a coordinating color and when she puts her daughter in her carrier just lifts her shirt up so it's already ready, but her tank covers her torso. Then she just pulls down the tank top and feeds her. It was the coolest trick I've seen. I'm so glad I went to the group just for that tip alone!
I love my Britax.
At the zoo I notice this one the most. I'm debating on trying it out because it has a hood, storage and better looking neck support method.
This one is 55% off, down to $54 from $119. Not bad!
They are inexpensive and essential for glass carboys.
Eek! Yeah - didn’t think about the weight of carrying her around.
Have you seen those baby hip seat carries ?
Here is one (of the more expensive ones) I found on Amazon: TushBaby The Only Safety Certified Hip Seat Baby Carrier - As Seen On Shark Tank, Ergonomic Waist Carrier for Newborns, Toddlers & Children, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FS71FZ5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ZDXoDbAYV8892
Idk if it would help?? I’m sure she will be walking in no time though! Then it’ll be a whole new set of problems, right? 😅😬🙈
You’re doing great!
As he gets older, you may want to buy a carrier like an Ergo. It's super comfy (can be worn on front, side or back when baby is older). It's great when he's fussy and wants to be held but you need to heat a bottle or cook dinner, vacuum, grocery shop, etc. Gives you both hands free. I use it still with my 16 month old who weights 24lbs. It was $$$$ but worth it in my opinion. And you can always resell it when you are done with it and prob get half of what you paid. ERGObaby Original Baby Carrier, Black/Camel https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001JZU8O8/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_2tq-tb0DC8FN9
You should try those 'carboy carriers', like this. I have some for my plastic carboys and they work great.
my husband evens wears the Ergo performance, I NEVER thoguht that would happen! Wow it's even 30 dollars cheaper than when I bought it a year ago! http://www.amazon.com/ERGO-Baby-Carrier-Performance-Grey/dp/B003VTM6IG/ref=sr_1_1?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1348343521&sr=1-1&keywords=ergo+performance+carrier
congrats!
Name suggestion would be Catalina.
Having a 7-month-old, my advice is to buy an Ergo Baby Carrier and fit it for yourself. If you can get that thing to work like I did with naps, you'll get in a couple hours of uninterrupted Madden with your wife free to do whatever she wants for a few hours.
Plus, everybody looks sweet with a baby attachment.
Everybody wins!!!!
It was one like this, with a plastic buckle. The stitching was fine, but give the plastic buckle enough pressure, at it unbuckles itself. After that one incident, it immediately went in the trash as I realized how bad of an idea it was.
As long as they're quality, the netting ones look safe. Definitely don't try to use the carboy handles when it's full. That's not what they were meant for, and I've experienced it slipping off, no matter how tight I made it.
Still, nothing can go wrong in a keg in a bathtub (right?), so that's my preferred fermenter now.
What do you think about this one??
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0156HL9WE/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awd_JpZGwbK3EDF84
It's just an off brand wrap but I don't want to get an expensive one and not like it..
Here is the link to the airflow.
Lillebaby The Complete Airflow 360° Ergonomic Six-Position Baby & Child Carrier, Silver https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01698BP3C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_AaB8Bb19DF45Y
Eh, Ben Sasse is kind of the epitome of pandering politics to me, and I'm a constituent. He ran a bunch of commercials during his campaign where he literally moved the Capitol to Nebraska on a Mack truck, regularly wears a Nebraska Cornhuskers jacket during TV appearances, and he literally walked around shaking hands with a his child strapped onto him at a parade I attended in a small town. The dude is cartoonishly phony.
Which one is the airflow? I've been looking at getting the Lillebaby Airflow, but all the different options on Amazon are confusing.
I was of the understanding that the Complete All Season and Airflow are two different things, and the only one I can find under prime deals is this one:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00R6XER5I/ref=gbps_img_s-3_1712_896b160d?pf_rd_p=d3152026-148f-4b24-a686-6518d33b1712&pf_rd_s=slot-3&pf_rd_t=701&pf_rd_i=gb_main&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=7WKNE588EJE1NADS7V11&th=1
One of my wife's coworkers got her a Baby Bjorn, so we do plan on using that a lot, although not exclusively.
I'm not sure why, but it's incredibly rare for me to see anyone using something like the Bjorn around the city. It seems like such an easy thing to do, especially if you're just going out for a walk or quick errand, that I can't really figure out why it isn't more commonplace.
As /u/BrewN00b suggested I use the "Brew Hauler". You can get them on Amazon for ~$11 (I get mine from my LHBS for ~$13). It makes the PITA of carboy hauling easyer and more importantly safer.
http://www.amazon.com/Brewcraft-The-Carboy-Carrier/dp/B000OF8V5W
They have sales on open boxes. Right now this is what they have https://www.lillebaby.com/sale
Amazon has sales occasionally in the range of $90, but right now https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Q3I25NI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_m33RybHX22XQH is the least expensive.
It is certainly true that you have to be willin to settle for plain colors usually. But i prefer it. Works with more clothing options and for the SO to wear as well without worrying about being seen with certain patterns.
We loved the Fisher Price Rock and Play sleeper, and our FP Space-Saver high chair has been awesome. When he was smaller, I could strap him in and he could watch me make dinner; now it goes to Grandma's with us no problem and is so nice and non-bulky.
A Boppy pillow is awesome whether you're nursing or not, and Sandra Boynton is our house's favorite author. We especially love "Hippos Go Beserk" and "But Not The Hippopotamus."
Sling-wise, if you haven't already, I'd recommend going to a store or a baby-wearing group (or your childbirth class might have this, ours did) where you can try on several styles and see what suits you. I have worn our son since birth (and still do) but ring slings make me want to throw things. Other moms I know have no problem with them, but I never could figure out how they worked. The Mei Tai style (not this particular carrier), on the other hand, was really intuitive, and my husband liked the Moby wrap when he was really little. I am currently using the Ergo performance carrier now that he is big and heavy, because I love the way it distributes baby's weight on your hips, not back.
Good luck with your registry! Don't worry about having to buy too much gear -- remember babies survived and thrived for thousands of years before Graco came along! (nothing but love for Graco, btw, we have had 2 of their carseats, a pack-n-play, stroller, and swing frame for carseat #1. All good quality, all durable, no complaints anywhere.)
it's the lillebaby that allows for 6 different carrying positions. some patterns are now on clearance, the lowest price is $89.99. https://www.amazon.com/SIX-Position-Ergonomic-Child-Carrier-LILLEbaby/dp/B00R6XEN98/?th=1
Your cost: $14.99 plus labor
Brew Hauler on Amazon: $8.69 + $4.85 (shipping) = $13.54
I congratulate you on your DIY, but you're not saving money with this, I'm sorry to say...
Brew haulers work just fine with full carboys.
First of all...
Realize that you are entitled to ask for help if you need it. If you need a little break for a couple of hours after work for yourself (and if you can afford it), then I recommend spending that time at the gym, and that you get a babysitter to come and cover for just a couple of hours. I know you feel obligated to be there to care for your son, and you are obligated to participate in his care. But you are also obligated to take care of yourself for your own sanity and health, and taking a little bit of time for exercise is going to benefit your son as much as it does you. If you get off work in time to take care of him, have a babysitter come during that time instead. Head straight to the gym or the track and get a vigorous workout in, then come home and send the babysitter on his/her way and take care of your son for the rest of the evening.
See, exercise is not only good for your body, it's also good for your mind. And most of us with ADHD here can attest that a good workout is just as essential and effective for clarity of thought and mental focus as a dose of medication is. You will control your symptoms better if you get regular exercise. So if you do anything to "pawn him off", it should be that.
I know from experience that this can be a hard thing to do as a parent. But my non-ADHD partner has insisted on getting child care (from grandmothers and paid babysitters) so that I have time to exercise during the day at some point. He wants me healthy and functional, and if we have to spend a little money to do that, it's worth it because I operate so much better. Still, the guilt gets to me. Just gotta get over that and realize that, as dedicated you are to your child, you must also be dedicated to yourself in order to give that child the best parenting possible.
Otherwise, here are other tips:
That's all I got for now. Good luck! You can do this!
I agree with you on the Baby Bjorn. My wife and I both love it and it's especially great for me as a guy. I carried my nephew around in one for a few hours at the park and he slept almost the entire time. It's definitely one of the more comfortable carriers that I've used. If anyone is looking to get one, I'd check online for more information and prices. Amazon is the cheapest I've found.
Are they gonna babywear? Cause there's a lillebaby on sale for $90 and they're suppose to be extremely comfortable.

I never use Zulily because they don't take returns (be warned!) but the resale value is great (in case we don't like it), I see them used all over the place on Craigslist (for more than this one costs new) and they're still 129.99 on Amazon. The reviews are good, and it's not supposed to have problems with hip dysplasia like the Baby Bjorn (which is what we were going to get).

Hi mama!
You may have seen my post asking for advice/experiences regarding this. My LO was born 12/17 via c-section because he was footling breech. The hospital pediatrician detected a “clunk” in his left hip , which was confirmed by the orthopedist on 12/19. The orthopedist talked about the plan that day and told us about the pavlik, but said to wait 2 weeks to set up an appointment — he said he wanted feeding to get established and the baby to get back to birthweight, I think he may have felt bad for us because it was right before Christmas :)
On 12/27 we saw the orthopedist who did a quick in office ultrasound to look at the depth of the socket and the angle, and put him in the pavlik harness. He wore it 24 hours/day for 3 weeks, had an ultrasound which showed good progress so now we do 23 hours/day x 8 weeks, and then bedtime x 4 weeks.
I was absolutely devastated when he put the harness on — I bawled in the office, I cried at home when I’d look at the baby, I quietly cried at night when I nursed him. The first time we took him out of the harness for a bath and some skin to skin I cried for like an hour. Now I’m crying just thinking back on those emotions, but it gets better mama and I don’t cry everyday of whenever I look at the baby.
People don’t understand or know what to say to you. Everyone is like “Oh, that’s not too bad” or “It’ll be over before you know it” or “He won’t even remember it.” While all those things may be true, they don’t understand how gypped you feel because this isn’t what you imagined — holding your baby, cuddling your baby, feeding your baby is different and harder and no one understands that.
Tips & Product Recommendations:
We put a plain white, short sleeve onesie under his harness to protect his skin from chafing and to help keep the harness cleaner.
We use these wipes on non bath days.
We had to size up on diapers early because the tabs were longer on size 1 and easier to thread through the harness. FWIW Luvs diapers have longer tabs but we couldn’t stand the smell so we use swaddlers.
I use the Boba carrier. It doesn’t require an infant insert (which you obviously couldn’t use anyways) — there is a little built in pillow that you use from 7-15 pounds. I pretty much exclusively wear him when we go out so that people can’t get in his face (flu season, gotta protect yourself!), but I did buy the bassinet attachment for our stroller for walks since his car seat obviously affects the harness and hip positioning.
We bought the Graco Dreamglider seat & sleeper. It goes completely flat, is wide enough to accommodate the harness, and doesn’t push on his hips or legs or anything.
RIP all your sweaters — that Velcro sticks to everything and destroys it 😂
Feel free to PM me.
This is what I was going to recommend. I know the last thing you need is more expensive baby products right now OP, but this or this could help your GF immensely (if she's got the back muscles to bear it).
Infants often sleep better when worn, and even when they're awake it'll at least free up your GF's arms so she can do other things.
This is the one I got. I also found this one without the sling and with some pockets when I was finding mine for you. I'd be tempted to get that one if I was buying again. Searching Amazon for Hip Seat will get you a lot more options.

You can get one at Amazon if your brew store doesn't have one.
It's not quite as nice as the one I used to have (like 15 years ago), but it gets the job done.
We got a 600 dollar crib (it was a gift from my grandmother) that looks nice and converts into a twin bed,
An even more expensive matching dresser (A gift from my FIL)
A MamaRoo (A gift from my mother),
A LilleBaby All Seasons (A gift from my brother.)
I haven't had a chance to use any of them (except the dresser) because the larva is still tucked away in her womb apartment.
Ergo Carriers or something similar can be very helpful. I also second the person who said get a swing. As others have said, you just need to experiment a bit. Have you tried a white noise machine? Have you tried making sure they're in a very dark room? Also, how much caffeine do you drink? If you're breastfeeding and drinking a bunch of coffee, that'll transfer to your kido.
Excellent suggestions. Well written. As far as getting stuff in and out of a chest freezer, most kegs have handles so that's take care of. But for getting carboys in and out these work fine.
So the Baby Bjorn original ($50) is a newborn carrier with great built in head support that you can start when baby is 8 pounds. It does not distribute weight well in the parent's back, however, so I used it up until baby weighed 17 pounds, and then it became too difficult for me to to keep using it, though you can still go up to 25 pounds.
The Ergo original needs a newborn insert for it to work for the newborns, and I've heard a lot of complaints that the insert makes it too hot and is not as well designed as the Baby Bjorn built-in head support. So that's why I switched to Ergo Original only after I couldn't use Bjorn anymore (after baby weighed more than 17 pounds).
The newer Baby Bjorn One (on sale for $100) is supposed to distribute weight better on a parent's back so I'd imagine you can use it well past 17 pounds. I actually just purchased this after I made my post to you, as I'm due again in 2 months. I preferred Bjorn over all the others I tried (I was very active while babywearing, bending down and twisting down to clean, wearing it many hours inside and out) so I'm hoping this newer version solves the past problems and I can use it the entire time through.
Look at the top review on the newer Baby Bjorn One, and they say that it is very similar to the newer Ergo 360, main difference being the Ergo has a loud velcro belt. Sounds like both of these choices solve a lot of the earlier problems and could be your one stop shop for a soft structured carrier throughout babyhood. My knowledge is a few years old - I wish I had experience with the upgraded carriers for you but they will know all about these in /r/babywearing so you may want to check out that sub too!
Aside from full-on carriers, I recently ordered a hip carrier for my MiL to carry my 30 pound 7 month old and it's actually really nice! He does have to be held with one arm still because they can lunge off, but I used it and was surprised at how little my own bad back hurt after trying it
If people are paying $US8 for this then I imagine that there's a market for a carboy carrier/cover/insulator. It's a neat idea if nothing else.

Hello! Thanks for the cute contest and congrats on your baby.
I have two little men, Monster #1 is 4 years old and an avid gamer. Which is great, because mommy and daddy are gamers too. Monster #2 is 2 years old and enjoys cuddles and acting like he has all the energy in the world. I swear, #2 never rests. Never.
They are just like mommy and daddy in their interests, thought. #1 loves gaming (both), #2 loves drawing and crafting (mommy), and they both love reading (well being read to) and learning.
I have a list just for them on the left of my main wishlist and I know that they would love a new Pete the Cat book.
Birth advice- get the drugs. Omg. Get the drugs. You think you can make it, and you try to make it, but once you get up there, it hurts so bad. If you don't get the drugs, good for you and I wish you the best of luck. But remember, after 5 cm, they can't give you the drugs.
Newborn advice- hold that baby as much as you want, don't let anyone tell you that you will spoil it. Because one day that baby will not want to be held anymore. They will push you away and reject your kisses. Cherish each and every stage.
Something cute for your nursery. Well, not really for your nursery, but it was a life saver when my kids were smaller. Baby carrier.
I've been using these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000OF8V5W/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details
with glass carboys to help make carrying easier (and eliminate some dropping risk)
Don't know much about the other differences, but if you decide to go glass, get something like these :)
Amazon has had them on sale for around $5/each for a few weeks.

My Brestfriend nursing pillow (I only used it for a couple weeks, but it was awesome for learning how to latch, and I used it like a table so I could walk around with my son on it without disturbing his latch when we were first learning)
My wrap carrier (we just registered for a cheap one off of Amazon.)
This. We use it as his bassinet and it's where he does the majority of his snoozing if he's not in bed with me.
I have a small chest freezer that fits one 6.5 gallon carboy with a couple inches on all sides, and a little step for holding a pitcher of sanitizer for the blow-off tube. Just get one large enough to fit your fermentation vessel with some room to spare. Also, for chest freezers, CarboyCarriers are a must.
I use this one with my son up until he was 3 years old cause he hit the maximum weight. He didnt like it at first cause he liked walking but he got use to it the more we used it. Plus he liked hanging out with me while I cleaned vs hanging out in the other room.
https://www.amazon.com/Ergobaby-Original-Performance-Ergonomic-Multi-Position/dp/B005WGP2Y6
This thing is nice too cause it's all mesh and is really breathable. We use it to take him hiking too cause it comes with a rain shield and there is a cold weather cover that bundles them and covers their feet lol.

It has the added bonus of looking like storm trooper armor. Additionally the moment I put my daughter in it she falls asleep.

You'll never catch me on my weekly frolic through the woods with my PS4 without using one of these.
Uhm may not be for you but my daughter was the same way, she is currently 4 months and have been wearing her facing out in a hip seat carrier for about a month now (so since 3 months). Not everyone likes it but once you get used to it it’s great she can face forward and see everything and be perfectly comfortable and supported by the seat. Its not much strain to me or my back either because the seat helps with a lot of her weight. Ima link the carrier on amazon so you can see what I am talking about but yes very much recommend it worked out amazingly for me and her.

Holy shitsnacks! I've had one slip the collar of standard carboy handle before but the worst that happened there was some minor cuts (and of course 5 gallons of beer that was ready to ferment going everywhere). I double checked afterwards and the handle was screwed tight and the appropriate size, so now I use carboy carrier straps exclusively: http://www.amazon.com/Brewcraft-The-Carboy-Carrier/dp/B000OF8V5W/ref=pd_sim_indust_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=1934A1CQXTEE58ZZAJQN
Get well soon man.
Look for a babywearing group in your area. You'll find lots of different carriers to try out and find something that is best for him. I find some of the carriers difficult to get on on my own, but there are tricks to each of them that you can learn at a meet-up. Also, YouTube is great for how-to videos. I would suggest something other than a Baby Bjorn. Boba, Beco, Tula, Ergo are just a few. I also love the ease of a padded ring sling (specifically I have a Maya Wrap ring sling). He might find the adjustments on a buckle carrier too much. But the ring sling is beautifully simple! And it is good from newborn through toddler.
I would imagine a number of ways to put baby down that are higher up (than the floor) would be helpful, like a Rock n Play sleeper
You might look for a car seat that is extra light to carry. The Maxi Cosi Micro is the lightest one that you can get.
And check out a good stroller. Whatever you do- get one that you can push with one hand! If you have a "baby boutique" type store nearby, you can go and check them out and see what will be best for your family. I suggest a higher end store than a Babies R Us because they can be extremely helpful in finding one that is a good fit and pointing out features that might be useful. Even if you don't buy one there, you can get ideas of things that might be helpful to look for. Some strollers have a more complicated folding system that require 2 hands while others are super easy and just require you to pull a strap.
I second using an apron! There are also the hip seat baby carriers that have a good amount of storage. The one I have has a little cup carrier, a zippered phone holder and the whole area under the seat for storage.
https://www.amazon.com/Carrier-Infant-Toddler-Adjustable-Storage/dp/B07PJ9LW62/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?keywords=baby+carrier+hip+seat&qid=1568217383&s=gateway&sprefix=baby+carrier+hip&sr=8-5
I second that- look at the baby bjorn. or a carseat they will greatly appreciate it in 6 months- it's a win, trust me.
To be clear, this is the one we have: Infantino Flip 4-in-1 Convertible Carrier https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M0DWQYI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ZlF3CbV8YTKVJ
The snaps in the front are snapped closed and it says “narrow seat 8-15lb” and when the snaps come apart it says “wide seat 15-32lb”
This is the new one we got, no snaps and only wide seating.

Hahaha, went through the same thing some time ago. A couple bits of advice:
Amazon’s doing a 25% off coupon on one of the Lillebaby carriers. If only our little girl liked to be worn 😬
Comfy rocking chair
When it comes to cribs, pack n plays, rock n plays, bouncers and swings its upto the childs taste. Out of my nieces and nephews 1 always napped in a rock n play, 1 in the swing, 1 would sleeps anywhere, 1 would sleep on mommy or a boppy, 1 in the crib and my daughter would only sleep in the carrier or being held. She never used the rock n play, crib or pack n play but loved the bouncer and occasionally accepted sitting in the boppy or swing. They are all so different. With our little girl her reflux was so bad that if she was laid flat she would immediately throw up.
(I will edit to add more when I get a minute)
There are doll carriers she can use :)

For about the same price you can get http://www.amazon.com/The-Brew-Hauler-Carboy-Carrier/dp/B000OF8V5W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331790769&sr=8-1 yes there is shipping added that too. BTW i made my own as well, but it comes pretty close that price.
Yes but only when there was something NEW for us both to see and interact with. This frontpack was the most personally valuable thing I owned for a solid 2 years through both of my kids. We would go out on the town for hours and hours and then take a nap. Seriously one of the best times of my life.
