I currently have an ergo with newborn insert that I love, but it's too fiddly and awkward for childcare/kindy drop offs, and I'm not that into my hug a bub at the moment either. DD2 is a tiny 10 week old, plus she is on home oxygen so I need to carry a tank in a back pack at the moment. I'm looking for something quick and easier to pop her in for the drop offs.
I have a Sakura bloom linen sling. Love it.
I bought it because of the linen and now that it's worn in it is just perfect. Soft and silky yet strong and cool. I got it in a dh suitable colour, but since he never wore it I wish I'd picked my fave lol.
I have a silk Sakura Bloom ring sling and really love it too. I used it heaps and heaps with DD3. I bought a breeze ring sling for summer (she was a winter bub) and I hate it - the fabric slips through the rings and I don't feel like she's very secure in it.
Do you sew at all? I can PM you some great instructions for a very comfy, easy to make pleated shoulder ring sling. I've made a few for myself and friends, and they're really quite nice, and a lot cheaper than buying one, generally, and of course, you can make it exactly as you like it, with accents on the tail or pockets, or whatever.
