You could try a mei tei .. are you in AKL? Slingbabies have monthly meetings where you can try out different carriers. ------------- Mummy to Issy (3) and Elias (18 months) I did it .. 41 kgs gone! From flab to fab in under a year  http://www.femininefitness.co.nz/category/blog - LFs weight blog

A mei tai is a great suggestion. With newborns you need something that will still support their head and spine so you can't just pop them in an ordinary old front pack.
That said, I have a http://fancypantz.co.nz/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=34_36&zenid=6d1d0c4b0f80a8f6f093e75986f05f6c - Manduca which can be used to carry newborns, although I only got it recently so haven't used the infant insert part yet. I love it, might be worth a go if you're after something a bit more structured. (Other options are a http://www.mothersinstinct.co.nz/categories/Baby-Carriers/Beco-Butterfly-2-Carrier/ - Beco or an http://www.bellybeyond.co.nz/shop/Babywearing+ErgoBaby+DulceZoet+baby+slings+Moby+Wrap/Ergo+Baby+Carrier+only+%24197.html - Ergo with an infant insert.) Slingbabies are on Facebook too, could be a good idea to have a flick through the photo album to see what you like the look of... -------------

| I've got for my little one Ergo carrier with infant insert. Very comfortable and he seems to like it too. |

| I tried the moby a different way today and it totally worked for us! i think it just was the wrong hold so will keep practising with it, thanks for the suggestions will keep them in mind if this doesn't work out |
