What type of sling/carrier is best?
The answer, of course, is it depends. Is this your first experience with a fabric baby carrier? I recommend starting with a ring sling. They are the easiest to get baby in and out of, and are very adjustable, so can be used for both parents or caretakers. Do you want something very compact that’s easy to stuff in a diaper bag? Try an Asian style carrier. Will you be wearing your baby for long periods of time? I recommend a wrap because it spreads the weight across your whole back and shoulders. The Moby Wrap is also wonderful for being truly hands-free, even with a newborn baby. Do you have a heavy baby or toddler who likes to be held a lot? The Ergo Carrier is for you! Finally, please ask for advice for your specific situation! I love to help.
