My favorite answer for mamas looking to carry newborns, though, is a stretchy, comfy wrap that's easy to use, like the Baby K'Tan carrier. Especially now that they've got a great new carrier available.
Designed to have all the flexibility and comfort of a typical stretchy wrap, it's created out of two attached loops plus a sash. The loops form an 'x' on the wearer into which baby can be placed in numerous easy positions. And the sash is used in some of the positions to hold everyone in place. The new Baby K'Tan Breeze carrier adds mesh to parts of the carrier to increase comfort for the wearer. Which is a good thing. Because when you're wearing a tiny furnace on your body all day long, things are bound to get hot. Yes, even in the winter.
It will still take some practicing to get the carries right. And it's a little bit harder to gift because you have to actually size it to the parent who will be wearing it. But in the end, it will give the wearer and the teeny, tiny wear-ee the squishiest, smooshiest, coziest carry there is.
Which, when you're the mother of a newborn, is exactly what you're looking for. -Stephanie
