Yes you already know we found babywearing a lifesaver when J had to go to hospital for a (very minor) operation. He had to fast (no booby either) for something like 14 hours and we just walked him round and round. We used an SSC and he went in a front carry with my partner (so no lovely smelling boobies in the face) I was new to wrapping then but that would have been good too. It calmed him down so much to know that we were still there for him and that we weren't deliberately starving him. He was so calm they put the other, older babies ahead of him.

I'm so glad to hear your baby girl is doing better now. And that BWing came in handy while in hospital. I have worn while in hospital with my son. I agree that more carriers is better than less. When my son was a tiny newborn, I only owned one pouch. It was handy but he was also a major chucker at that stage. When the pouch got chucked up on, I had nothing else :-( This same son had a day stay op last Jan., he was 2yo by then. I brought 2 carriers with me, even though it felt like a bit of overkill at the time. I had a SSC (Kanga-X) to walk the long way from the hospital car park to the ward. And a Mei Tai (tall BBO) for front snuggles after the op. Both worked so well! I was so glad I had made the effort to bring both. So yeah, if you can, bring more carriers rather than less.
