Baby Wearing!

Using a baby carrier can be very convenient and a relief on your arms if you have a big baby like I do!
I tried using the Soft Structured Carrier aka SSC, which is a carrier that you buckle around your waist then you put your baby in the pouch in front of you then buckle the shoulder buckle and you are good to go.
It was so nice having my son in it because I didn't have to worry about my arms getting tired or dropping him or anything, I definitely recommend this one.

There are also many other wraps that many people enjoy using.

Mei Tai aka MT: This is an Asian-style carrier that is tied. It features a body panel with two long shoulder straps coming from the top right and left hand corners to tie with two waist straps coming from either base corner. Various sizes are available: baby, toddler, preschool ect. Some also have padded waist and shoulder straps. Can be used for front and back carries. This one is very similar to the Soft Structured Carrier but that one buckles and this one ties.

Ring Sling aka RS: A length of fabric with a pair of rings sewn into one end. Used for one shouldered carries on front or hip, good for newborns up to preschooler. Great for quick up and down carries or a tired legged toddler.

Those are just a few of the many wraps. If you would like to find out more information on baby wearing, there is a La Crosse Babywearers group. The link for their facebook is:
