as for carrier what type do you want?

i have mei tais, which are easy enough to get on on your own
have a look in the carrier review thread at the top

defo go for a mei tai, they are so easy to put on. I have one which has a buckle waist instead of the tie around. I love it, although dex is started to hate it so I may have to sell it on. they are so comfortable though. You can get some good cheap ones on ebay. My mate got an awesome one for 20 pounds. A really good place for them is Etsy.com .

Not sure about getting an amber necklace from a shop. Most likely to get one in a natural hippy type shop. I am sure there are quite a lot in Edinburgh.Online will be the cheapest though. Also check when you buy it that it is real amber. you can do that by heating up a pin and sticking it one of the beads to get the fumes. if it smells like tree pine then it is real. It shouldn't smell like burning plastic.

i got my amber from https://www.bums-n-roses.co.uk/

i'd say get a mei tai...i find it pretty easy to put on and its good for heavier babies. i also think ring slings r good for quick carries (or i've used mine to carry LO round the house if he wants lots of cuddles). they r super easy to use but they aren't great for carrying LO for a long period of time. i use my ring sling if i'm popping to the shop or if i'm taking LO somewhere from the car but i use my ellaroo mei tai the rest of the time.
