Default Hi!/Baby Carrier Question

I don't know if anyone remembers me at all but I hung out here awhile ago but took a little break... I wanted to say hi and join the fun again

For anyone that remembers I did have my baby boy 6 weeks ago! His name is Dylan and here is a link to a gorgeous layout that Amy did of him... She did an AMAZING job

Any way I was wondering if anyone could recommend a baby sling or carrier (not sure of the right name). I am nursing and I would love something that would offer me a little bit of freedom. Not just for nursing but for around the house or out and about so I have my hands free when I need to get something done. Are there any particular ones that you all love or hate??

Thanks in advance

i know i bought mine off etsy where a lady on there made them. I think her name was loveyduds or something along those lines. Her carriers are great. I've given them as presents to first time moms and they love them

When I was back in baby mode, I always checked out baby bargain's website. They have a section dedicated to baby wearing and you'll probably get lots of great advice there! I can't remember the company that custom made mine, but you'll be sure to fine lots of options and opinions there!

I have no advice on where to buy, as I'm thousands of miles away, lol, but I LOVED my Moby. It's great for beginners, and perfect for new babies, soft and secure. I don't know how it would work out for nursing in, as I could never get the hang of that no matter what carrier I used, I always had to take him out!!

Congrats on your little guy, he's a cutie

I used a Maya wrap and absolutely loved it.

You're probably going to get recommendations on twenty different kinds!

My personal fav is the ergo baby carrier - and that's after the Baby Bjorn, two kinds of slings, Maya, Moby, and countless lectures by others on the safety or not of buying homemade carriers.

After I found it, I really wished I had had it all along. We're still using it - it converts to a back carrier - when we hike and snowshoe. HTH!

Big congrats on your little one!

I was wondering the same thing- about which carrier would be the best for any use, including nursing. Thanks for posting this link, Darcy, I think I'm going with this one!

I bought a Baby Hawk (babyhawk.com) and LOVE it. It was pricey, but I got to customize it all and it was worth EVERY PENNY!
