Thank you for your kind responses. It is sure the hardest & best job I have ever had....if you can call it a job!

I have a carrier but it is like a Baby Bjorn but Fisher Price brand (someone gave it to us). It is good to take him out when walking but no good around the house. I am going to look at slings on the weekend - I think I definitely need one just to give me some freedom.

We like to go walking with the pram but it doesn't always settle him & this week it has been raining a lot... don't like walking in my area in the wet as when I was pregnant I slipped over twice (very hilly & no footpaths).

I keep in mind that he is only 39 days old - that is not very much time to work out what is going on in this new world he is a part of.
