Ds #3 is coming this November and I can't decide what type of sling(s) to get to use during the newborn period. I am fairly certain that I will switch over to mei tai once he's past the tiny stage. I also have a great wrap already, but I want a sling (or two) that will be easy to slip on and off in seconds. I used the New Native Carriers with my twins, and they were great (and I still have them), but I'm looking for something different. Maybe a pouch, maybe a ring sling, maybe fleece, maybe stretchy cotton. . .

Tell me what you loved with your newborn!

Thanks!

fleece hotsling or other pouch - cuddly - should be perfect in november!

We loved our pouch sling (Lucky Baby) for the newborn stage. In fact, DS still loves the cradle hold at 5 months, with his head and arms out of course! GL finding something.

Okay, I know this is not a popular suggestion, but I absolutely love my Over The Shoulder Baby Holder for my newborns.

We've ordered a pouch (similar to a hotsling) for the teeny tiny stage, but I'm a huge mei tai girl, so I'll switch to that asap

I'm also looking into getting something for a newborn (due in Feb.). I am very small framed - I'll be the smallest size of anything out there. I want to be able to slip on and off and not have something bulky. Anyone with a small frame have newborn sling nursing suggestions?
