Ok, for those of you not well versed in the language of "babywearing" here is my quickie on carrying your baby. Mostly this post is about me wearing my baby and the things I 
wear my baby in- got it? This is also to vent a little about said apparati. My first sling was purchased well before Maggie was born and is a ring sling something like this one

My first sling was purchased well before Maggie was born and is a ring sling something like this oneWell for the life of me I cannot figure out how in the hell this thing is suppose to work! It is a huge struggle to get her in it and once she is, she is crunched up and lost in the bottom of it- I have not been able to really get much use out of it. It also kind of hurts my back because she is just swinging there around my neck. Any suggestions? And yes I have read and watched every video on in internet. I am wondering if waiting until she is older and can sit up and hold her head up will help- i dunno.
My next sling is actually a wrap- called Moby. It is actually so far my favorite, however for all the positions that you are supposed to be able to wear them in, I only have one that she seems to like- see picture. Once again I think once she gets older it will be better. However, I am worried about having her legs dangle out because of something I read about proper spine development etc. The other downside is getting in the darn thing, it is not something that you just slip on- you have to tie it first and it is really, really long, so the ends end up all over the ground or in somebody's gum in the Target parking lot. 
Numero tres is supposed to be the best thing since sliced bread, and that is the Ergo. Don't even ask how much this thing costs. This one is supposed to be the best for spine development, ergonomically correct for the wearer etc. You can also wear the baby front and back. So far this one has not blown me away as I expected. It is not quite as comfortable for me as I thought it would be- the straps dig a little and I haven't found myself loving it. It is hard to get her down in it, but she sits sideways which is nice. I feel like I am squishing her a bit with the insert (the green thing in the pic), but she seems content when we get her in it. Maybe this one will be better when she is older too? Common theme here. One other thing- it really doesn't fit all people- Amiel can barely get it on and is not comfortable for either of them if he tries to wear her.
The good news is that she doesn't seem to mind riding in whatever I put her in and usually falls asleep. I guess thats the point huh?
