Newborn sling advice

[vickybb]

Hello mums

I just wanted some recommendations for a newborn sling.

I want something easy to put on that is suitable from birth but there are so many on the market it is difficult to know which to try.

Thanks everyone.

I've used an Ergo baby with the newborn insert to start with and it's been brilliant, really easy to put on and very comfortable. I've never been myself but the South London sling library is meant to be good for trying out different ones.

Definitely go to the sling library. Emily is brilliant. I used a Close, which I loved. But I got given that and then bought a Manduca for 5/6 months onwards. If you want one sling only then something like Ergo with insert or Manduca (newborn insert is integral) will be suitable till toddler years. Good luck with everything!

I second the sling library! Emily has tons you can try and rent. Google south London sling library.

I second the Maduca. I got my sister's and it's not only a life saver it's also great for baby's spine and hip development!

I really like the Kari-Me and Hug-a-bub type slings. I've used mine from birth to 15kg (about 2.5/3 years). They have loads of carrying positions and you can feed in them as well without having to take your baby out.
