Baby no. 3 is due imminently. I plan to get to a local sling library asap after she is born, but trying to do a bit of research in advance and now I'm just massively confused and overwhelmed by the options out there. Help!
I bought a moby wrap when I was expecting my twins 5 years ago purely because I read that you could carry two babies in it. Seemed like a great idea, however when it came down to it seemed phenomenally complicated in the newborn twin/first time mum fog. I was just not confident in using it even with one of them and there were no sling meets near me at the time to get any advice.
I really want to carry this baby as seems much more practical for the school run and I would like to be able to do without the pushchair more in general. So something quick and easy to put on in the morning whilst also trying to get two 5 year old's to put shoes, coats, hats on etc would be great. I'm a bit put off by previous experience with the moby wrap. I'm also quite petite and the amount of material seemed to swamp me. Would a mei tai type one be easier? Are they ok for newborns? Any other recommendations/advice?
