Do any of you have a sling that you would recommend to use for a newborn? I have a Chicco carrier, but think that it might not be too useful at first when the baby can't support his/her head at all. I thought a sling might be more useful. I never used one with DS #1, but think I might need my hands free more often this time around to take care of my toddler. Any suggestions?
Re: XP: Slings
It's not a sling, but I would recommend a moby to any mom of 2+.
I have a moby, babyhawk, baby bjorn, and hotsling, and the moby is by far the best for newborn-6 months. You are TRULY hands free with it.
I have all of these and the Ergo, Bjorn, and Peanut Shell. Get the Moby. I have the MobyD. They are super easy to make for really cheap as well. I think Ergo is my fave for after 6m.
Ditto these 2 recommendations. I have all of those except the ergo. I do have a Baby K'Tan, and that's a close 2nd to the Moby, only because it's easier to put on when you're on the go.
