Having trouble finding a carrier that works for me.... Help!

bergerbride · March 2013

I never wore my first baby but now that he is 4... I have to find a carrier that works for my newborn! She's 5 weeks old and is about 9 pounds. I have a baby bjorn and a baby ktan... And she hates them both. I know the bjorn is not great to use anyway ( I had it from my son) so I don't really push it... But no matter how many times I try she just won't sit in the ktan for more than 5 minutes. It just seems too tight to me. I also tried my friends moby and it's just too complicated for me. I'm thinking of trying a sling next... But I am open to any suggestions! It's impossible for me to go out with my 4 year old and the baby since right now I basically have to keep her in the stroller or hold her. Thanks in advance for your help!!

I would try a mei tai or structured carrier like ergo, beco or Boba. I like wearing baby using 2 shoulders to help distribute weight.

ring sling - I hated because adjusting was a pain and alwas slipped

Moby - LOVED for more activity, like when hiking, gardening, etc. Kept him snug as

My siggy link has what I like and why with pros and cons of different types for newborns. I'd echo the suggestion to find a babywearing group near you; there's a good list here; https://wrapyourbaby.com/babywearinggroups.html
