can any1 help is what i shld hav added!

You need some stretch in the fabric.

I used a coorie pouch sling from when DD was a newborn until she was about 2.5 and loved it. I do still use it on odd occasions now she's turned 3 but I can't carry her for long now (I tend to use the Hippychick seat instead)

You need the stretch for comfort and it makes the sling more secure.

thanx, wil check out the coorie pouch sling!

can i put baby on my back with this sling?

I've never done it but apparently it is possible to scoot them round to the back. I always used it as a hip carry for an older child or all bundled up in front for a baby.
