Looking forward to getting lots of tips from this thread for when bubba #3 arrives.

Both my girls were very fussy babies and wearing them saved my sanity - or at least a bit of it ;-) DD1 I had mainly in a baby bjorn for the first bit Then I discovered the error of my ways and switched to a ring sling but it had big padded edges so we never really liked it/got the hang of it. Ended up discovering an ergo but unfortunately with DD2's pregnancy so quick it didn't get a great deal of use.

DD2 practically lived in the ergo for the first six months and I loved it but she got really hot in there once the warmer months came long. Dragoncookie - do you have the "new" style infant insert for your ergo or the old one? I've only got the old one and wondering if the new one is better with tummy to tummy carry?

This time around I've already bought a sakura bloom ring sling ready for #3 for school runs and unless I really fall in love with it, will probably still use the ergo for around the house and out and about stuff. I've tried experimenting with the RS so far with a very cooperative teddy bear but am struggling to get everything snug and smooth. Do I need more weight in there maybe, or do I just need to accept I'm completely unco-ordinated and just stick to the ergo?
