My baby nest or sleepy wrap?

I posted a few days ago about K'tan sizing and someone suggested a "My babys nest" wrap because the it is nearly the same concept as the K'tan but ran a little smaller (I'm only 5'0' and about 108 non-pregnant).  Someone else suggested a sleepy wrap.

I was looking into the 2 and then trying to decide.  I'm getting less and less intimidated by the idea of actually doing the wrapping and now my major concern is if I will be able to get the "my babys nest" to hold my baby tight enough.  I hope to use it right from birth (and it will be a scheduled c-section if that makes any difference in your opinion) and I don't want the baby flopping around or falling down in it.  I do love the idea of the babys nest wrap kind of being "half-wrapped" though.

Thoughts?  Opinions?  I really appreciate them.

I'd say go with the sleepy wrap because you are guaranteed to get a good fit both right after and a while after delivery.

I agree the sleepy wrap will give you a better fit.  Wrapping isn't so hard with just a little practice ;-)

It was me that suggested the Sleepy Wrap :-). It took me a couple times to get the hang of how tight I needed to wrap it in order for LO to stay high enough up once he was in (you need to wrap it pretty dang tight) but if you wrap it tight enough, LO will be very snug and comfy. I have gone on long, brisk walks with LO in the Sleepy and he stays high on my chest and very secure. Not sure about the Baby's Nest, however, since I've not tried it.

Thanks everyone!
Looks like I will be starting with the sleepy wrap then. And, yay! It's a lot cheaper too!
