Babywearing with hijab - need advice, please no judgement

@aminak3

You’re not alone. I bought non-slip cotton underscarves with little silicone dots and they actually made a difference. Also wrap the scarf tighter at the back and pin it under the chin only, not too many layers. Big hugs, you’re doing amazing with two littles 💛

I stopped wearing mine for a bit after my baby, totally understandable. When I went back I used a sports-style hijab (slip-on) under a light chiffon wrap. The sports one stayed put under straps. Healing comes first, you’ll find comfort again when you’re ready.

I relate so much. Hormones + newborn chaos made everything feel impossible. I used lightweight modal scarves and one of those thin mesh underscarves. Keeps hair in place and less tug. Take your time, you’ll get back into it when you’re ready. Sending dua and hugs 🤍

This resonated so much. I started using bamboo scarves - breathable and light. For carriers with rear straps, I tuck the scarf ends into my shirt sides so they don’t flap. Don’t rush yourself spiritually, Allah sees your struggle. You’re valid and brave.

I found that wider shoulder straps on the carrier helped distribute pull so the hijab didn’t shift as much. Also try polyester-cotton blend scarves - breathable but grippy. You’re not failing, sister. This is a real struggle and you’re allowed compassion.

Assalamu alaikum sister, I went through this with my second too. I swear by a small silicone grip undercap and a cotton jersey scarf - no slipping and cooler. Also try criss-crossing the carrier straps over the scarf so they don’t pull it forward. You’re allowed to take breaks, don’t be hard on yourself ❤️

Sending love. My tip: use two pins - one at the top of the undercap and one hidden near the collar - keeps things from moving. If it still feels too much, it’s okay to wait. Your mental health matters more than perfect coverage right now.

Oh hun, been there. I clipped a small safety pin from inside the scarf to my top where possible (hidden) and it helped a lot. Also try a short, rounded hijab style that tucks under baby’s chin. It’s okay to pause hijab while you heal - your feelings are valid.

Practical tip: use an elastic undercap and then a rectangular viscose scarf wrapped once and tucked in - minimal loose fabric for straps to catch. Also keep a spare scarf clipped in your bag for quick changes. Sending strength, sister, you’re allowed to find what works for now.
