    Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl! I love holding them as much as I can too, but yes its nice to have them close but know they are comfy too, as well as us not being in discomfort. I have had 4 csections and used the ring slings with the last two of them. With my ring sling, I used it from about week one. I had Rubys head across my body with head up closer leaning into my left side and her body laying over me. I used my left arm to support her, resting it underneath and around her. I alternated this position, with putting her into the right side with her head coccooned into the crook of my right arm in the sling. I wasnt happy to let her be unsupported without one hand.

    I also have the hugabub which is great for free use of both hands.

    Have fun enjoying your precious little girl.

    Jo
