Best sling for around home withnewborn

Can anyone give me some recommendations for the best sling to use for pottering around at home with a newborn (2weeks currently)? My DD just needs to be held the whole time at the mo so I need something that allows her to snuggle up to me whilst I get on with things at home. I'm currently using a Babyhawk mei tai, which is ok, but I worry a bit about having her in it for too long as her legs seem to go very white like the circulation is being restricted (see previous post) and also would ideally like something that's a bit easier to pop her in and out of, but obviously still needs to be secure - does this exist?! Have had a Moby recommended, but have heard that these get hot so am keen for something a bit cooler. Thanks.

I also had a clingy baby and loved my Kari Me - used it all the time.

I loved my Moby and wore it every day, but both my boys were winter babies. Have heard good things about the Calin Bleu gauze wrap (recommended to me as cool by someone who lives in the Middle East and therefore has far higher temperatures to deal with!).

BadBuddha - with the Kari Me can you have it in the tied position and then pop the baby in and out or do you have to tie and untie it each time?

Kari me you can leave tied, Calin bleu you can't but the CB is VERY lightweight. It was a lifesaver when DS was tiny and we've now moved on to linen wraps (live in the tropics).

With a two week old you could have the baby legs in. They still need to be in the M/frog position. Maybe google legs in Mei tai.
