It seems like there are so many options these days I don't even know where to begin. I have an 8 yr old and a 6 yr old and a 2 month old. It didn't seem like there were as many options before. My 8 yr old lived in an over the shoulder baby holder until she was about 2. I know they seem so big and bulky now but it worked great for us. The 6 yr old went a ring sling as well. Now that I'm starting over again, I really need some advice before I go spend a bunch of money on baby carriers I'll never use. I love wearing my baby I just need to find the right carrier for us. I have a hotsling ap right now. It is my one and only carrier for my baby. It hasn't been the easiest for us to use but I have somehow been making it work. I don't remember it being this difficult. I'd like to be able to have my baby on me whenever I am out. Would also like something that I can breastfeed in. I've looked in some specialty baby shops around me to see if any of them have baby carriers that you can try but I have yet to find one. Any suggestions of what to look for?
