Best Baby Carrier for a Newborn

Do you want to keep you newborn close but be hands free? Which baby carrier is the best for your newborn?

Do you have a newborn you want to soothe? As a new mother you are now busy with your new baby, meals and possibly other children as well. How can can you take care of your house and the baby at the same time? A baby carrier will keep baby close and allow you do go about your business. What do you do when that newborn baby cries and wants your attention? Place her in a carrier and see how happy they are being so close to their mother. As soon as my daughter was born, I noticed how happier and less fussier she was when she was near me. When they placed her in the incubator she would be moving constantly, however, when I held her, she slept like a baby, well she was one.
Why should we have to sacrifice that closeness? Find the best baby carrier for your newborn so you can continue to bond with the baby while still taking care of your house. Put the baby carrier or sling on your baby supplies list.
