Baby Carriers

Baby Sling VS Baby Bjorn type carriers?
I am a first time preggo Mom due May 13th.
I am beginning to buy all of the things we will need for our little one once he arrives.
Please answer from expirience…
Do you prefer the Sling style baby carriers for Newborn – 6 months or the Baby Bjorn “backpack” style carriers for the same age?
Also – Please specify which brand you liked the best.
Thank you so much for your help!
I have a $30 sling from walmart and a $20 carrier from target (One warning: there is some concern that carriers with a narrow crotch which leave the baby’s legs to dangle can be damaging to little spines.) and 3 homemade wraps ($5-$12 each)
I use my homemade wraps WAY more. They are more comfortable, more versitale, and my baby likes them better.
I love my homemade wraps best by far! My baby seems more comfortable, I’m more comfy too, and they are more useful (as in I can get stuff done around the house with them) because you can put baby on your back (even a newborn!)
My favorite way to wrap is here http://www.wearyourbaby.com/Default.aspx?tabid=180 the Front (Proper) Cross Tie On First , though I’ve used all of the ones on this page
This one is great for housework
http://www.wearyourbaby.com/Default.aspx?tabid=182 but trickier to master
Now, homemade doesn’t always require sewing: check out this website to learn more http://www.wearyourbaby.com/
