With Landen I used a ring sling wrap, which I liked, but didn't love-it often got twisted, and when he got bigger we used an ergo carrier, which is great. I bought a home made mei tei, but it was big and thick, and awkward. I think I'd like a hotsling...
I'd like a new wrap/sling/carrier to carry little one in, and was checking out this site to find one. They are having a contest, so go enter.

And let me know if you have a favorite from your babies newborn days. :)

With Fritz I used the Peanut Shell when he was really little. It was perfect for him as a newborn. When he got bigger I moved on to the Moby Wrap and then finally to the Ergo.
Adrian is not a fan of slings. He gets too hot and sweaty and hates it. He despises the Peanut Shell, though it's still perfect for a newborn. He doesn't like the Moby Wrap either. I've actually got him in the Ergo now (he's technically too small and I don't use the infant insert). He'll only tolerate it when I'm moving like when we are grocery shopping. He's been using that one only since he was 3 weeks old and about 10 1/2 pounds.
I've been loving my Moby with Daniel. It was great when he was tiny stomach to stomach, really soothed him, and now that he's a bit bigger he love forward facing SO much.
He and I couldn't work a pouch sling (I have a hotsling) for newborns, I couldn't figure the tummy to tummy and he hated lying down. i know some swear by them, though.
I always end up loving a mei tai. i want to love a wrap sling (like a sleepy wrap) but i cant handle all that fabric! i just cant do one shoulder slings they hurt my back.
