My favorite newborn carriers

The Mei Tai

I love this newborn carrier.  Why?
This carrier evenly distributes the baby’s weight between your shoulders and hips. This is one of the best things about the mei tai, because many other carriers strain the parent’s shoulders a LOT.  The mei tai carrier promotes healthy hip development for babies, keeping them comfortably in the C-position against your chest.  The mei tai is also totally versatile, because you are able to position your baby on your front, back or hip and use different methods of tying the straps, according to preference.  And, the mei tai can be used from birth to toddlerhood!  Amazing.  Click here to view the different ways you can use your new mei tai.  I highly recommend!

The Sakura Bloom Ring Sling

This is just wonderful for your newbie baby.  They are very simple to use, easily adjustable, conform comfortably to babies’ bodies, and can be used from the newborn stage all the way through the toddler years.  If your baby falls asleep in a ring sling, you can either let them snuggle with you for a nap or gently put them down without awaking them.  You can also nurse in a ring sling, sit down without bothering the baby if napping or nursing, and be hands free to do almost anything!

Here are some great videos for instruction on positioning and nursing in your Sakura sling.  http://tiny.cc/yh8jhw
