It was the only one that tricked him into thinking he was being held. That being sad he got heavy fast. Now thank god he likes the tula more. And I just got a mei tai which might have worked a little earlier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-sling-recommendations-please#post-2219583 Fri, 26 Jun 2015 10:09:00 +0000 Rockies11 2219583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an Ergo and a Boba - the soft structured carriers. I preferred them to my sling because there was less room for human error. I was always paranoid she would fall out of the sling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-sling-recommendations-please#post-890828 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 18:05:52 +0000 Navy_Mommy 890828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Twine: I've never owned one, but they feel awesome. If I wanted to get a stretchy wrap that's what I would get. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-sling-recommendations-please#post-890807 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 18:01:49 +0000 rrachael 890807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy: I also love my baby hawk mei tai! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-sling-recommendations-please#post-890797 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 17:59:54 +0000 rrachael 890797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also loved the moby when my LO was a newborn, but they get hot so I don't know if I'd have loved it as much in the summer. Ring slings are supposed to be awesome for newborns!! I know a lot if ladies who use maya ring slings and love them :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-sling-recommendations-please#post-890789 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 17:57:39 +0000 pelikila 890789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hava ring sling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-sling-recommendations-please#post-890782 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 17:56:52 +0000 hilsy85 890782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved our moby when LO was a newborn. Super snuggly and not that expensive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-sling-recommendations-please#post-890754 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 17:49:11 +0000 Mrs. Twine 890754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy; we can be stunt doubles! You always have the same answer as me! Except I used my wrapsody from the beginning and have always preferred it. ;)</p> <p>And I wanted to add that the wrapsody is one I can even use with 50lb Ellie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-sling-recommendations-please#post-890721 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 17:37:40 +0000 Boheme 890721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Moby and an Ergo, but I prefer the sling our childbirth instructor gave us - its called the Peanut Shell. C is so happy in it and I can put it on by myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-sling-recommendations-please#post-890708 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 17:34:20 +0000 JerricaBenton 890708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy: true. I guess I was lucky that the size I got fit fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-sling-recommendations-please#post-890696 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 17:31:23 +0000 Navy_Mommy 890696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JerricaBenton: my issue with the k'tan is if you don't get theright size it won't work for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-sling-recommendations-please#post-890691 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 17:29:53 +0000 JerricaBenton 890691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I liked the k'tan in the early days. It felt very secure and LO would fall asleep pretty much immediately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-sling-recommendations-please#post-890689 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 17:29:46 +0000 Navy_Mommy 890689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would recommend a wrapsody stretch hybrid over a Moby. It'll last much longer and you could use it for back carries down the road if you want (you can't wear a Moby in your back).</p> <p>My favorites when W was a newborn were ring slings or my babyhawk mei tai. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-sling-recommendations-please#post-890664 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 17:23:33 +0000 Mrs. Beemer 890664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the moby wrap with my newborn around the house and he really liked it. It takes a few tries to get the hang of, but is more balanced than a sling and keeps them nice and close. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-sling-recommendations-please#post-890656 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 17:22:05 +0000 yourekindapretty 890656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my 2 week old wont let me put her down. she wants to be held ALL THE TIME. I'm in serious need of a sling that I can wear so I can at least have my hands free to do other things around the house throughout the day.<br /> Any recommendations??? </p>
