Baby wearing what sling ?

Hi all I'm interested in trying to wear my baby as she is a nightmare to nap during the day and will only sleep on me so I'm in baby jail all day . I bought an ergo baby embrace and a boba wrap I hated the wrap and I don't love the embrace it's very heavy and within 5/10 minutes I'm sweating and have to take baby out . Could you recommend carrier perhaps ? I'm not a fan of the wraps I think she might be too alert to try get her into one of those now anyway ? She just about tolerated the ergobaby embrace for the few minutes ahead is in it

How old is she?

Depends on age. My favs...
Up to six months a marsupi, 3 velcro straps
0 to 2 years an Oscha Bairn, buckle carrier
Or up to 1 a Caboo close to me, soft wrap.
See if there is a sling library near you, they can show you loads, how to use safely and you can hire some to practise with.

I would have a look in sling pages to find your local library to try a few out and find what you both love.

Personally I've had
Hana wrap and ergo embrace when little
Tula free to grow for 3-18 months
Lenny lamb half buckle 6-24 months
Tula toddler 18 months plus

Go to a sling library or use an online sling library. You will be able to try them then.

I used a close caboo until 4 months, then an Ergo or a tula until 2.

Marsupi carrier was fab for that size/weight.
They do a version called Breeze which is super light and cool (I think there's linen in the fabric). I used both classic and breeze until he was about 6 months, then switched to the ergobaby Omni something.

I went to a sling library, it was a great experience to try the different styles of carrier. It is very common when they're little to push back against them, but they soon come around to it!
