Baby K’tan giveaway
It’s been quite a day over here.
Liv hasn’t had a single long nap –I’m scared for what tonight will be like because when she naps well, she sleeps well and vise versa- she’s on outfit change #4 and I’m on #3. We’re still trying to get her to have one long nap in the pack n’ play, and while Tom can get her to fall asleep on her own, I fail miserably. He puts her in the pack n’ play swaddled, stares at her until she starts to close her eyes and walks away. I do the same and when I walk away, she screams bloody murder. I’ll pick her up, pat her and “shhhhh,” put her back down and she wails. After two tries, she ends up in the Moby or Baby K’tan.
Since I didn’t know what types of baby carriers/wraps would work best for us, I researched like crazy and ended up buying the organic versions of the Moby, the Ergo and Baby K’tan. I haven’t used the Ergo with the infant insert yet –Tom loves it- but the Mody and K’Tan are staples.
I love them both, but think the design of the Baby K’Tan is much more user-friendly. Instead of being a gigantic piece of fabric that you have to tie and twist a certain way (I had to watch a few YouTube video how-tos), it consists of two large loops held together by a small loop + a support wrap.
I also prefer the Baby K’Tan because it’s easy to put on in public. With the Moby, I’ll have to tie it before I leave the house for wherever we’re going, and if Liv is in the stroller or carseat, I just look like I’m wearing some kind of ninja wrap. I can put the Baby K’Tan in the diaper bag to wear or remove easily. The stroller is more functional, but for quick shopping trips, friends’ houses and parties, the Baby K’Tan or Moby work extremely well.
When a Baby K’tan representative saw this photo of Liv snoozing in her favorite spot,
he kindly offered to do a giveaway for a lucky reader. The winner can pick any Baby K’tan carrier in a fabric/color of their choice- it also makes an awesome gift for an expectant friend.
Two ways to enter:
1. Leave a comment with a funny story about when you were a baby (or about your kiddos)
2. Tweet “I want to win @babyktan from @fitnessista “
The lucky winner will be chosen tomorrow (Tuesday, 3/13) night at midnight EST.

My kids are 7 and 4, so well beyond baby carrier stage, but I would love to win for my sister. She and my brother-in-law are expecting their third child in June. They will have their hands full with their 6 year old and 2 year old, too, so I’m sure this carrier would come in handy.
Funny story–our 7 year old was a very early talker. She said her first full sentence right after she turned one. She was in the bathtub and exclaimed “Oh no! I pooped on Dots!” Dots was the name of this polka dotted bathtub toy she had. And yes, she did, in fact, poop on him.
We where at the zoo one afternoon, when my 1 year old suddenly took off in the petting zoo, chasing the poor goats around barking at them. He thought they where dogs and wanted to play!!
my 2.5 yr old love to lay on her stomach and stick her blanket or anything she can find (toys, books, etc) between her legs to fall asleep. her butt sticks up in the air too. crazy kids.
When I was young, I used to play doctor with my sister in the bathtub. She was 5 yrs younger than me, so it wasn’t difficult to convince her she was “sick” and needed to take “medicine” in the form of V8 shampoo! Well, not surprisingly, she really DID get sick after drinking the shampoo, and the bathtub was filled with sudsy bubbly hot dog vomit. I’ll never forget the smell!!!
I’m due in Sept and I already have my eye on one of these!

I’m still pregnant with my first human baby 🙂 but I have a funny fur baby story. One morning I threw on a pair of yoga pants to take my dog for a walk. We walked around the neighborhood for over a half hour and when I got home and took the pants off to take a shower, I realized the entire crotch of my yoga pants was gone. My dog had completely destroyed it and I somehow didn’t notice when I was putting them on. I was so embarrassed, but still think it’s hilarious!
A funny story about my daughter! Just this last couple of weeks we have been potty training, doing well i might add. Yesterday she was sitting in the floor, naked, and all of the sudden “POOOT” she looks up and says “UH OH MAMA” and runs to the bathroom to take a poopie. 10 seconds later, i notice the spot on the carpet where she “pooted” no wonder she said “UH OH” LOL hahaha me and the husband got a good laugh out of her little accident.
oh and i tweeted the giveaway here is my URL: https://twitter.com/#!/lexismommy10/status/179570554980933632
I have an almost 3 month old and just have a regular type carrier from Sears, and it’s not adjustable!! So I’m in desperation for a K’tan!
When I was about 15 months my mom was washing spots off the carpet so I thought I’d be a super good helper and poured the javex bleach all over the walls and carpet behind her!…..Let’s just say the spots came out! (and maybe the carpet too!)
I always liked to help with house work – around the same time I grabbed the hot iron off the ironing board when mom wasn’t looking and dropped it on my foot! I still have the scar today and I’m 25!
I just learned that I am pregnant… 5 weeks and some change… with my first child. I’d totally love to win. My story…. apples were one of my favorite snacks as a little kid (still are) but apparently “apple” was a tough word for me to learn – came out like asshole. My mom had me with her in the grocery store and I was pointing at a man looking at the apples and yelling “ASSHOLE! ASSHOLE!” My mom was mortified. 🙂
(That’s why I need a K’tan so my baby doesn’t get into trouble 😉 )
I’m 18 weeks along, and my son is 22 months. When I ask him where mommies baby is he points to himself, and I’ll ask him where my other baby is, and he lifts up my shirt and points at my belly 🙂
I tweeted!!!!
I’m 8 1/2 months prego and would LOVE. A baby k’tan!!!!
When my husband and u got married my niece was about 5 and was my flower girl. Her mom and dad were both in the wedding as well. Her mom was my maid if honor and her husband was a groomsmen. At the rehearsal we were practicing our exits. My niece saw me walk back down the aisle with ny hubby then my maid of honor ( her mom) walked out with the best man ( my husband’s dad). My niece started sobbing uncontrollably. We asked her what was wrong and she said, ” mommy walked down the aisle with Erik’s dad and now they are married too!” she thought who ever you walked out with was your new spouse!!!!! Hahaha! We assured her that was not the case, and had my sister and brother in law walk down together on the real wedding day!
My bundle of joy was born on Febuary 29th. My first. Going to check in to the hospital my mother, boyfriend and I ran in to the woman who gaves us the tour of the labor and birth center. He goes “Hey your the lady who gave us the tour. Do you remember us?” Nurse- “They were under staff that day. I work in the NICU”. My boy boyfriend gets this confusing face, and says what?.. Nurse- “I work in the NICU”.. His face expression looks more confusing. Then he goes “what you want to lick me”… my mother and I brusted out laughing. Lol
Uhhgg… when my daughter was brand new, I had her in the Moby and I opened the microwave door straight into her head! Talk about wailing. I guess it is only funny now as I now there was no lasting effects! I have number 2 on the way and would love to try the K’tan; the Moby was a little tough.
I REALLY REALLY want the baby k’tan. While I don’t have any kids yet (one on the way) nor do I remember any funny stories from being a baby, I can say that when you’re expecting you’ll talk to people you wouldn’t normally. When I was flying home to visit my family I saw a new mom who had a wrap of some sort she was using and I couldn’t help but ask what kind it was. I’m not the type of person who would normally do this, but I have found that now that I’m expecting I’m so much more apt to ask strangers questions about products they use. I also find myself just staring at other moms in hopes of gaining information….weird right?!
I am due in 2 weeks with my second child and would love to win one of these. With my first child i used the Moby Wrap but just didn’t like dealing with the ties and such. Have a friend who has a K’tan and raves about it.
My 16 month old cracks us up on a daily basis but the one thing that she does recently is when you ask her to say dad she says momma and then laughs. She knows who dad is but gets a rise out of us everytime she says mom instead of dad. What a stinker!
Don’t really have any funny stories about me as a baby. But my daughter had a lot of gas as a newborn that would really upset her. So we began doing the tootie dance where by moving her legs around she’d toot time and again!
I have a 7 month old and a 6 yr old. My 6 year old has ASD so he tries to prompt my LO to talk all the time just like he has been prompted. The funniest thing is when my LO is nursing my oldest will say “Samuel, what you eating? Say boob #1”!! It’s so funny and when anyone brings up Samuel and his eating my oldest will be the first to say he eats “boobs” lol 🙂
Oh my daughter has done and said some doosies over her 4 1/2 yrs of life. I think one of her funnier moment was during potty training. She was wearing a pullup as we were out and about doing some grocery shopping. We were finishing up at walmart, she was around 2-2 1/2 , I had just started putting my items up for check-out. My daughter told me she needed to go potty, I replied that as soon as we finished paying I would take her to go potty. A few seconds later she tells me to hurry beculause she really needs to go. I again told her as soon as we were done paying, I would take her to bathroom, and to please use her patience. A couple seconds later, as I am swiping my debit card, my daughter stands up in the shopping cart, and yells/screams as loudly as she possibly can, “Hurry hurry Mommy!!! MY POOP IS STARTING TO COME OUT MY BUTT,!!! I CAN’T MAKE IT STOP!!!!” Everyone within 200 yards heard her and got a good chuckle I’m sure!!
When I was 3 or 4 my mom says in every church program I was in I repeatedly lifted my dress up so I could show off my “pretty under panties” ie the covers that matched my dresses.
And I would adore a k’tan!!!!!!
I would love to win this for one of my oldest friends who is pregnant with her first baby. The only funny story that I can remember my parents telling me was about how very early in the morning, when I was two, I somehow escaped from my crib and chased the cat right out of an open window. When my mom came looking for me, she found me hanging on from the windowsill for dear life, even though I was only 2-3 inches from the ground. I didn’t cry out or anything. I just hung there and waited. No more open windows after that!
Am currently pregnant and would love to have one of these!!!
Funny story about my niece! We were in a (very crowded) major department store recently when she had to use the potty. Since my sister is working on potty training with her, i quickly took her to the bathroom while my sister waited in line. As we were leaving, she says very loudly, “Auntie, remember the time at my house when you used my potty to go number 2 and then i couldn’t go in it after that because it was so stinky?”. Needless to say, i was mortified! But very proud of her at the same time for letting us know she needed to use the potty 🙂

My mother always said that I love to wear her clothes and puts make up on my face, sometimes I puts too much lipstick so it’s over to my cheecks, 🙂
Hi! I am currently pregnant, due June 28th with a little boy and one of my friends always raves about her baby K’tan and how great it is 🙂 I would love to have one so I can rave as well!
I would like to be able to snuggle my little baby because word from the Dr who delivered me was that I was feisty- he picked me up, I started crying and then peed on him. Oops 🙂
Thanks!!
I would love to win this! I’m expecting my first baby this summer & really want to baby wear. These look great.
Funny baby story: when I was 3 my little sister was potty training. We had a housefull of guests over so I went upstairs with her to the bathroom & helped her get up on the big toilet. She was so small that her bottom fell in & so you could only see her head, arms, & legs. After trying for a minute to pull her out, I went downstairs to the house full of guests and announced that Alicia had fallen into the toilet. My mom said that she panicked & everyone else died laughing.
We are working on #2 over here and would love to win this!
My DD is 2 and because I look at your blog almost nightly on my phone she always says “baby tummy” because she likes to look at the pictures of your pregnant belly! Its so cute! She’s going to be a great big sis some day!
My fiance and I are getting married in April and plan to start a family right away (he already has a 7 yr old daughter). I have never heard of the k’tan, it looks amazing and I would love to win it! So when my sister and I were both little we apparently thought it was cool to shove things up our noses. When I first started talking I came up to my mom pointed to my nose and said “ray ray” (raisin) over and over again, I kept insisting there was a ray ray up my nose. My mom grabbed a flashlight and sure enough I had stuck a raisin up my one nostril. My sister also did this with a tick-tack…needless to say she sneezed and sneezed and sneezed repeatedly until that thing came out! 🙂 Oh the things we do when we are little!
First off, I absolutely adore getting to read your blog every morning. especially the family posts now that we are expecting our first baby in October 🙂 you have such good advice and opinions! SO, of course I would love to win the Baby K’tan! a funny story when I was a baby – my mom was giving me a bath and suddenly I discovered my *girls parts* and asked if mommy and granny had them too…and then went on to ask if I could see them!? OH MY. I laugh every time mom tells the story! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂 xo!
Well my son does so many funny things but everytime I think of this story it makes me laugh.
when my son was 2 and a half I took him with me to the nail salon. We were in the process of potty training.
anyways im sitting in the chair getting my feet done and my mom had taken aiden to the restroom.
well he runs out into the middle of the salon and yells “mama mama my peepee isn’t working” I was
so embarrassed but all the ladies thought it was so funny everyone was laughing in the salon.
Thank you so much for a chance to win the baby k’tan 🙂
Ayla is almost 4 months now and I usually use the moby but the k’tan looks easier. Last night, my husband tried to get her to stop sucking on her shirt and she threw her first temper tantrum. I don’t think she thought it was funny but we did!
Yay! I hope I get it!
My funny story is about my 2 year old. We are just teaching him about the potty, and how it’s not a big deal because everyone poops. Around Christmas, as he was learning about santa claus, I took that as an opportunity to further our potty teachings and included santa in the list of people who poop. My family was over for the holidays and while we were eating he said, “santa claus poops! Know dat?”
I have a picture of me as a 1 year old with a diaper duct taped on me. Apparently my Dad was in charge that day. I would love a k’tan wrap. I have baby #2 on the way!!
When I was nearly 2 my parents took me to visit my great aunt. She had this grouchy old cat named Maxi. They told me to leave her alone but I wanted that cat. So while I was trying to pet her and had her cornered on a dining room chair, she decided she’d had enough and hissed and grabbed my head. I turned around and thought it was hysterical and said “Maxi go hiss” and grabbed my own head and burst into hysterical laughter. Then for the rest of the trip I would repeat that story for anyone who’d listen and crack up each time.

When I was little my brother saw no use for me until he realized he could train me to memorize hockey players. I could name and recognize the entire 1988 red wing roster at the age of 3
I was using the breast pump the other day for my infant son when my 2 year old son started freaking out. He declared the machine too scary and made my husband go in the other room and hug him and sing. I couldn’t help laughing.
Tweeted too! (@sgophoto)
I would love to win this! I have a 1 year old and am due this month for my second son. 🙂
Anyways my story was from when I was a toddler, my grandpa said our tv had gone out for whatever reason and he was trying to fix it. I came up to him and asked him “What are you doing?”. He told me he was trying to fix the tv, so I walked away and came back a minute later and yelled at him, “Just fix it already!” Lol
I am due in 4 weeks with our first baby (a girl!) and I am so excited to try baby wearing! The baby K’Tan would be a perfect start.
When I was a toddler I would repeat anything that my mom or dad said (including swear words). My mom had taken me to the grocery store and I decided it was the perfect moment to yell out one of those four letter words. She couldn’t contain her laughter, so I decided to put on a show and continue to yell it out until she pulled me out of the cart and exited the store out of pure embarrassment :). I also decided to call my parents by their first names (as a toddler!) until they started referring to each other as “mommy” and “daddy” to get me to stop.
Someone at the gym asked how my arms got so toned. I told them carrying a 5 month old is hard work! I would love the Baby K’Tan to give my sore arm muscles a break!
Would love to try the k’tan.
As for a funny story, I was obsessed with wearing a wig as an infant. I don’t know why we had it or where it came from but I many if not most of my baby pictures feature me in this terrible blond/brown synthetic wig.
I due with a baby girl in 7 weeks and would love the Baby K’tan.
My funny baby story that my mom likes to share is how when I was around 2 she was always eating salads and for some reason wouldn’t let me try them. So when I was outside I started eating leaves which made me sick. So I will always let my kids try food to prevent them from eating something they shouldn’t, ha-ha!
We unfortunately had to explain what happened to the goldfish recently to our 22 month old. We have a rather large tank so we put it on the ground. We tried to make it sound like they needed go to family back in the ocean and even though they were part of our family their mommy and daddy really missed them. Well we started folding laundry and getting the hose ready to empty the fish tank when I turn around and see Jr sitting in the fish tank, converse sneakers and all. He explained “dada misses me when he is at work-I go to ocean to see him”
It makes perfect sense as Daddy’s office is on the ocean. Now Jr thinks the fish tank is a teleport to go see Daddy!

I’d love to win a baby K’tan for my expectant sis-in-law! I have one and I love it! When I was a toddler, we lived way out in the country and the few paved roads that we drove on were not maintained very well. Every time mom or dad would hit a pot hole my dad would mumble “damn county.” Later on when it was just my mother and I in the car, she hit a pot hole and nobody said anything so I chimed in “damn county!” 🙂
I am 30 weeks pregnant with twins and would love to win this!! Hmm… a funny story when I was a kid. My mom tells me that I had the biggest appetite ever. At age one she heard noise in the kitchen and said she found me in the pantry and i looked up and said “Feed me, I’m hungry!” I still have a big appetite to this day… but have learned to tame it with healthy foods! Your blog has given me so many great ideas for recipes- btw- LOVE your sweet potato black bean crock pot chili!
I would love to win a Baby K’tan. 🙂
One morning, I was getting my two little boys out of the car, so that we could go grocery shopping. As I was unbuckling the baby, our two year old was standing becide me watching. In seconds, I felt a splash on my leg. Since it wasn’t raining, it was a surprise. When I looked to my side, my almost three year old had dropped his pants to “go”. Eek! Fortunately, we didn’t have an audience, but we had to have a talk about using “real” potties and why people don’t go potty wherever they want…
No kids yet (one day!) but my favorite thing when I was little was to sleep on the stairs… My parents would have dinner parties and put me to bed. Instead of staying in my room, I’d sneak down the stairs and lay across the step length-wise (so not safe!) and they’d find me sleeping there later. Luckily I never fell!
