>> Hello Vanessa,
>> You can certainly carry your baby in a sling, snugglee, or, when your 
>> baby
>> gets older and has good head control, a backpack.  Many parents on this
>> list
>> have used different options.  I had a Snuggllee when my son was small. 
>> He
>> faced toward me in it from the time he was about 2 weeks until he was
>> about
>> 4 or 5 months.  Then I was able to use it for a while with him facing 
>> away
>> from me.  After that, I bought a backpack carrier from REI.  It is light
>> weight, but has a nice frame and five point harness so my son was very
>> safe
>> and the pack was comfortable to wear.  I just stopped using it; my son is
>> almost three and he's about 30 pounds now, which I finally found was too
>> heavy to carry on my back.  I also have pulled a stroller behind me while
>> walking my son, and now that he's bigger I have a nice wagon he rides in.
>> There are definitely very safe ways to carry a baby when out and about,

>> it's very important to get comfortable doing so because it's nice to be
>> able
>> to get out even when your baby is young.  I found even a short walk
>> outside
>> could do wonders for both my son and I, especially when he was very
>> cranky.
