hi there!
our DD is now 7 weeks old and weighs 11lbs. we used a baby bjorn carrier most of the time when we are out, but i cant feed her or hold her in a more 'nursing/going to sleep' way when she is in it. we also use our buggy... but sometimes a carrier is more practical. then to go around the house i carry her rocking chair with me, but not so practical.
so im wondering if i should get a sling to cover the needs that the baby bjorn and the buggy doesnt cover? but i have to say that at this age, she is already getting heavy for my poor back, i can only carry her for a limited amount of time. will i really carry her when she is 1 year old, on the hip style that i've seen some women carrying when using the sling?
geez, that was a long post, i hope i made some sense!
