We had the Ergo baby carrier, with the infant insert for when DS was very little. I loved it and we used the carrier a lot including through a bunch of airports on a trip when we did not carry our stroller. The infant insert can make it warm tho.
I used to have a hotsling. I loved it and LO loved it too. There are other brands too which have the similar type of sling. If you google it you will find it. I also had a baby bjorn but LO loved the sling. When he was 6 months old he could sit in the sling.
Hi CABear
Glad you found the info about the Babywearing workshops.
If you are planning to breastfeed, there's also a Breastfeeding Q&A meeting tomorrow noon at Organic Cafe Dubai Mall. The host is a babywearing mama, and one of the topics of conversation will be slings and carriers as one mum has already asked about this.

Hi CABear
I had the Sleepywrap, now renamed the Boba carrier, for when both my DSs were small and thought it was great. It's suitable from birth and a bit tricky to tie on the first couple of occasions but once you get the hang of it it's fab. I've also got the Close baby carrier which is what I use regularly now as it's easier to put on. But I have to admit the Sleepywrap wins hands down for me for when they kids were very small as it supports every ounce of them. I don't currently have the Sleepywrap with me as I left it in the UK with a mum to be but am happy for you to have a look at the Close baby carrier if you want.

For others that are interested, I was just doing some research on line and found the next baby wearing work shop is on March 11 at Organic Cafe, Dubai Mall 9:30 am - 11:30.
Sorry if this has been covered - I am due in April with my third child and am looking for recommendations for baby carriers or baby slings that are good for newborns/small babies. I have a baby bjorn which I can use as the baby gets older but I'm hoping to find something that I can use right away. I am anticipating needing something as I have a 15 month old and a 4 year old and I know how busy I am already! I read about a baby wearing workshop at Organic Shop in Dubai Mall, does anyone know if there are more of these planned? TIA
