Which baby to carry?

I wore the new born too. I found it worked best as that meant the little one slept most of the time and the bigger one felt very independent!

Hey sweets, I've been thinking about this too as I want to use a carrier early on for bubby not the pram and I figure that Izzy is used to her stroller so it won't be a big change for her, and bubby will be nice and light! You might find there are times that bubby is sleeping, and Iz wants attention so you could have times that you carry her instead though I guess!! Not long to go now!

Whilst my younger two are 19 months apart (little older than your two will be) i found having DD#3 in the sling, and i had DD#2 in the pram. DD#3 would sleep almost all the time when she goes in the sling, allowing me to chat to and, focus my attention on DD#2. For the short amount of time you can spend at the shops with two young ones ......i doubt your DD is going to feel left out - KWIM/?/???

Thanks ladies. So worried about not favouring one or the other. Definitely going to be one of those periods of my life when I'm going to wish for an extra set of hands I think!

An xtra mind wouldnt go astray either for those days you feel blah .......Its actually suprising how often perfect strangers offer to help whilst out shopping etc. e.g - offer to lift a child out of a trolley, offer to carry a grocery bag to your car - when i go shopping with my three little ones, i can honestly say i get 2 or 3 people every time asking 'do you need a hand love?'. Whilst i dont accept, its so nice to know there is friendly help out there.....
