"Ergobaby omni carrier. Can put on yourself with a bit of practice, baby loves it."

"I have the Ergobaby Embrace as well and it’s great for a newborn."

"Ergo baby embrace for when they’re tiny, Ergo baby 360 omni for when they have good neck control."

"Hands down ergobaby 360 omni, I did a load of research before he arrived on the correct ‘m’ shape and a lot of carries were actually not suitable and could cause damage to their hips."
