Slings
Using a sling is an idea borrowed from other cultures where mothers carry their babies for much of the day.
Several UK companies now manufacture slings adapted for a western lifestyle. They are usually made from a large swathe of thick fabric with some sort of fastening device - cloth straps and/or buckles. They are designed to carry the baby in the position you find most comfortable - front, back or hip.
Certain positions are explained in their instructions, but the idea is to develop your own way of carrying, particularly once your baby is self-supporting.
