Hi sirenz

I have to suggest the Close Carrier for the first 6 months or so. They are fantastic, easy to put on and off and very, very comfy. The sleepy wrap you have mentioned is essentially a long piece of stretchy material that you need to learn to tie around yourself and bubs.

Wrapping isn't hard at all, but I found it very frustrating trying to get the ties correct when I first started baby wearing. The close carrier comes in 2 seperate pieces, one that slide over your head and a second that wraps around bubs. This also means that the carrier doesn't touch the floor when out and about

After that I would look at a mei tai, woven wrap, or soft structured carrier. But definately for the early days a Close Carrier!
