I agree with using a stretchy wrap at 8 weeks (Moby is a popular make, Hana wraps are lovely as they contain bamboo which keeps you cool and gives a nice stretch), much nicer and more snug.


When they get to around 4/5 months (or sooner,if you wish), you can try switching to something a bit more structured with buckles (or, stay with wrapping and use woven instead of stretchy cotton) like an ergobaby, tula, beco, boba, manduca, connecta etc.


We use connectas (still, with our three year old), as they fold down very small so are incredibly portable. If you have back issues it might be an idea to use something more padded though. My partner carried our son from birth in an ergobaby (with the infant insert, initially), whereas I preferred the stretchy wrap for the first few months.


If you have the time, before you choose a buckle carrier, it might be worth paying a visit to the South London Sling Library. You can book a consultation there, as well as hire slings to get a feeling of what's comfortable or not.

    • But a larger number, in a more hotly contested election, didn't. It is an anomaly that Starmer won a landslide in seats with a turnout for Labour which would have shamed Labour leaders in all the 21st and much of the post war 20th century.
    • I was not suggesting anything else!   I'm not sure how you interpret what I said  as "irrelevant"? I was responding to a post saying that Corbyn was "unelectable". My point was that a  large number  of the electorate  voted for him!
    • that's exactly what happened - Brickhouse were forced to close due to rent hike and then Gail's didn't move in until covid restrictions lifted and normality resumed. Gail's would have opened much sooner as they were lined up and able to offer the landlord much higher rents. Brickhouse was a local favourite
    • The Brickhouse closed just before Covid December 2019. Nothing to do with Gails muscling in as they didn't move into till December 2022. Stop trying to fit a false narrative into a story
