XP: Slings

gillyskgillysk

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?

    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.

    Thanks everyone!  The Moby seems to be the favorite here and on 0-3, so I guess I'll go check out where to get one.

    I have a moby and a bjorn.  I used the moby all of the time for the first month or so.  Once he had a little more control of his head though, I prefer the bjorn because it's faster to put on, and I can easily wear my coat with it.
