Community Carrier Resolutions for a New Year with hope&plum
Even though itâs the end of January, our hope&plum community is still hard at work on keeping to their 2025 Carrier Resolutions. And weâre here to keep them on track! See if you can find any resolution inspiration from our community featured below.
Practice Makes Perfect
Many of our community members want to improve their skills with carriers they already have. They know that the only way to get better is to practice, practice, practice:
âI want to use my sling rings at least once daily so that we get super comfortable in them! đâ - Vania Farmar
âMaster the ring sling!â - Katie Leos
âPractice more with my meh dai (having a hard time getting the slack out)...â - Kaitlin Lebbad Keating
âMaster the ring sling and meh dai! And get my husband baby wearing more frequentlyâ - Elizabeth Gallo-Cappello
âStart babywearing out of the house more for errandsâŚ[and] get more confident so that going places with a toddler and a newborn isnât as daunting. Super excited to get to start using our larks more soon since my newborn will be big enough before long!â - Makaylin Knotts
âI'd like to use our ring slings more.â - Angeline Flores
âBabywear at least once everyday â¤ď¸â - Erin Annita Pratt
âMaster the ring sling!!â - Gunjan Udeshi
âI wouldâŚlike to figure out how to redirect biting in back carries & teach my boubou how to put their own hat back on reliably since i can't do it when they are on my back!â - Hannah Harris-Sutro
âGet faster with the sling!â - Dana Fachner Tyler
Back It Up
Others want to unlock a new skill: the sometimes intimidating, but always worth-the-effort back carry:
âI'm looking forward to back carrying more, both with my new lark and learning how to use my woven wrap more.â - Marta Rose
âI always reach for my lark for back carries (and it will probably still be the default / easy option) but Iâd love to master a back carry in my meh dai and woven wrap!â - Meg Brennan
âGet comfy back carrying in both my meh dai and lark!â - Sarah Marie
â...Do more back carries in meh dai and lark.â - Kaitlin Lebbad Keating
âLearn to do a back carry in a ring sling to avoid pressure on my growing baby bumpâ - Madeline Connor
âTry back carrying in the Larkâ - Shaina Lynn
âExcited to start back carrying in my meh dai and learning fancy finishes since baby will be ready for thatâ - Katie Elizabeth
Please Mr. Postman, Bring Me My Carrier
Still others resolve to add a new carrier to their collection. And, of course, to learn some new skills too:
âSave up for a lark so I can tandem wear my toddler and my new baby when she arrivesâ - Madeline Connor
â...Add a meh dai to our home đâ - Angeline Flores
Beyond hope&plum
We love our hope&plum community, and weâre committed to showcasing how our members shine even in different types of carriers:
âNot h&p, but now that ring slings are working (thanks to h&p,) my next project is getting fast enough with a shortie that I can get my 16 m/o up into a safe ruck easily!â - Hannah Harris-Sutro
âBuild up my onbuhimo shoulder strength!â - Anna Post
