Baby wearing is my number one mom trick. It's the only way I get anything done these days- Ralphie isn't a fan of being set down, and Ophelia isn't a fan of sitting still, so there we go. I also feel like one of the reasons my connection is so strong with my kids is because of baby wearing. More snuggling and closeness is never a bad thing- maybe we're helping to raise a generation of more connected and loving humans.
That being said! My hands down favorite carrier is this one (it's also available here and here). I got this one new with Ralph and wish I'd had it two years ago! It's amazing- Ralph has basically spent the majority of his short life in here. It fits from newborn on up, no insert needed, and I can wear Ralph or Ophelia in it comfortably. There is no velcro, and babies can face forwards or backwards. I also recently discovered I can nurse in it!
My other favorite is this one. This is what we used with Ophelia, and I still like it a lot. It's also a little more budget friendly!
I also recommend a soft wrap for those first squishy days-I love this one and this one. And a ring sling is nice and portable to have in your bag to throw on. I personally am more comfortable with a ring sling once they can hold their heads up, but I know a a lot of people like them for the newborn stage too.
Happy baby wearing!
