Carrier/Sling advice wanted for small baby!

[Tw1nkle]

Hiya,
I'm looking for a carrier/sling, but my little one is only 2.8kg, and most start from 3.5kg.

Any advice would be appreciated!!

I would use some kind of stretchy wrap, like a Moby wrap - it'd be great for having her skin to skin against your chest too, an extra bonus for preemies it might take one or two practices to get it right, but once you master it I can't recommend wraps enough!

She was born at 4lb 9oz and loved it in this

I agree with the using the stretchy wrap for a little one, I think it would be more comfy and secure, can we have pics

I agree with maria on the stretchy wrap. Finlay loved his and he was tiny too

We had kari-me and it is fab! I started using it when LO was a few days old. I used the cuddly position when she was tiny (she was the same weight as your LO) http://www.kari-me.com/position.php - I think you can do with the sling you bought as well?
