ive never used a monitor..i just keep the little one near by..of course, we have a pretty small house so i would have to be deaf not to hear anything going on.
i would like to try one of those sling wrap things that they have but they look complicated, and seem awfully pricy for a big strip of fabric.
You should try a Moby Wrap! They aren't too expensive and they are sooooooooooo worth it, especially if you get a baby who isn't easy going.
I wore my DD in it all the time when she was an infant. You can just strap the baby on and the baby is safe and happy, and you can do almost anything you want with two free hands.
She nursed in it while I was shopping or whatever and no one could even tell. Except when they were nosey and helped themselves to a peek inside the wrap, but then the joke was on them because they got an unexpected eyeful.
That happened more than once.
I'm really looking forward to baby wearing again. I have a whole collection of wraps and slings now. It's going to be a lifesaver with a 3 year old and a newborn because I can just put the baby on and continue with daily life...
