Hey ladies! What's your newborn babywearing brand of choice?
I know it's been discussed here and there in other threads but I'd appreciate your ideas!

I mostly used a ring along with DS until a few months and then switched to the ergo. I bought a ktan yesterday and I still can't find my RS though.

I love ring slings for the newborn stage! I also loved stretchy wraps (Boba and can't remember the brand name of the lighterweight one I loved for summer). Around 6 months with both of my kids I switched to SSCs - Tula and Lillebaby are my preferred brands for those.

I loved the Boba and/or Moby soft wraps for infant stage.

I had an ergo last time solely but I bought a Moby this time to use plus the ergo.

I used the beco Gemini with DD for the first 9-10months. It’s great because she was a big baby and that one you can wear without any insert starting at 7lb (or maybe 8lb, I can’t remember). She started to hate it though as she got older which is why I got the Tula. I LOOOOOVE my Tula, and so does DD. I wore her up until recently when my bump got too big, and I just wore her on my back a couple weeks ago when we went to Disney on Ice. I bought an insert for that one to use with the LO since you can’t use it until 15lb without the insert. The insert seems bulky and annoying to use so I’m not sure how much I’ll use it 🤷🏼♀️ We’ll see.
I got a solly wrap also to wear in the early days. I never used a wrap with DD but people on my other Bmb looooved the solly. I’m very excited to use it.
If you’re looking to buy an SCC and you’re interested in the Tula, I’d recommend getting the new free-to-grow size, which allows you to wear them starting at 7lb. If I wasn’t so emotionally attached to my Tula, then I’d totally sell it to buy a new one. But I can’t seem to let go of the carrier I used with my little girl 😭

I loved the Solly and used it every day until DD hit the weight limit. I had a Mei Tai and ring sling and rarely used either. I had a k'tan which I hated and sold (I think mine was too big).
Our Solly was on loan from a friend so I'm debating between that and a wrapsody hybrid which is similar in feel to the Solly but I think goes to 35lbs. Its more expensive but I just was so in love with the Solly I think I would have continued to use it until 35lbs easily. So I'm waiting to see what the black Friday sales look like.
I have a tula and Lille and much prefer the tula.

I personally really liked the ktan through DD's newborn stage (I didn't babywear with DS so only experience with one!)

Oh and I loved my ktan for the first few months, I'm considering trying a ring sling this time though!

Another ktan user for the newborn phase! It’s just so easy and foolproof. I felt more comfortable w that than a wrap. I used it until DS was 4 months old and then it was stolen. I also have an Ergo 360 and I still use that to this day! I wear DS on my back.

I'm going with Beluga baby for the newborn stage this time around. I didn't really wear D when he was too little but then started out with the Ergo but quickly switched to the Tula. Loveeeeed the Tula! But I am also so friggen excited to get a Beluga Baby

I have the K'tan on my registry (and a sneak peak tells me someone bought it). I don't think I'll be a long term baby-wearer but I want something for the newborn stage to discourage people from touching her if we are out and about since it will be flu season. I'm hoping having her attached to me close to my boobs will discourage people but who knows.

I’m not a big baby wearer, but will most likely be purchasing an ergo just for the newborn stage.

I've used a variety of carriers with my kids and have preferred wraps during the first few months. My husband used the Ergo on a regular basis with dd3. That was his go-to carrier and used the newborn insert.

We had a mei tai with DD but it wasn’t the most comfortable or easy to figure out in the newborn days. It was mostly good for the in between, before she could fit the tula w/o the insert. We have a solly wrap for this time & I’ll use my mei tai & tula too.

I found it necessary with my first to wear him, so I could you know, eat lunch and stuff like that... we started with the ring sling and the Boba and then did the Ergo when he was about 3 months. I did just get a second hand Tula too, I'm super excited about it!

Anyone considering a new Ergo? They’re having a great sale!
