Which one did you ladies like the most?

I got a Baby Bjorn from a friend but I want something for when Kalani is a newbie like a sling or moby wrap.

Any suggestions?

I hated the Baby Bjorn but that's because I'm so tiny and it's just not meant for such a small body, it hurt me so bad. I LOVE my ring sling though! It's fast and easy. I did just get not so long ago and only used a little with my son(got for the new baby though) and it did help my back a lot but I'm not sure about how they are for newborns. I have heard they are great for them though and even works good while breastfeeding.

I got a Moby! My fellow cheer mom had one for her new baby. I think she was like 4 weeks old the first time she brought her to cheer. She loved it! I got one for this baby and tried carrying around Gemma's biggest doll for a couple hours. It was really simple to get baby in and out of after I got the wrap on and I barely noticed it. It seems like it will be really handy for BF'ing too! I might get a hotsling or mei tei to try as well!

I have a beautiful ring sling that I got off etsy and I just ordered myself one of these:

BabyHawk - Cure for the Common Baby Carrier - Slings - Baby Sling | Carriers

Can't wait to use them!!!

I made a moby type wrap. I've tried slings and carriers, but the sling I had with Seamus we couldn't use due to his bad torticollis he would scream. And the snuggli front carriers have hurt my shoulder too bad(I have something wrong with the bone in my right arm and my shoulder is messed up because of it)

ERGO hands down...Nora loves it...I'm not a baby wearer but with two kids I needed hands free to deal with my little man....she falls asleep no matter when and for how long I have her in it...she's ubber comfy in it! Me and DH both fit with it perfectly - I'm 5 2 and he's 6 foot....so you can see it works for all sizes.

i have a pocket sling that i used with my nephew (like a hotsling). its pretty good for what it is, but i am thinking of getting a ring sling. my friend reviewed a ton of babywearing carrier options for an article she did so i planned on getting whatever one she determined to be the best. i think it was ring sling if i remember right, but when i tell her i'm preggo (in what feels like 100 years hehe) i will find out what the top three were!

I have a Moby and a peanut shell. I'll let you know what what I think of them once the baby comes. I plan on getting an Ergo eventually too.

I have a peanut shell I used with Lochy that I'll use for the first 3-6 months or so. I'm also getting a baby hawk like Heather for when she gets a bit bigger.

I love a moby and an ergo sport. The Baby bjorn is bad for the crotch/nerves and back.
