Does anyone wear their preemie? I have always used a hotsling but i'm concerned about his chin going to his chest and losing his airway. Any advice? What worked for you? How about a moby wrap?

I just got a front Carry cause i was worred about the same ting i put blaknets in it to cover the leg holes he loved it. But ive herd that the Slins are safe but nver used one,
I use a wrap to carry Isabelle. With my other preemies I used baby bjorn type carriers. I have never had a problem with airways, though I do find myself checking often to be sure.
I used a sling when she got to be about 8lbs but not before that because I was a chicken and she was still on o2. I love them though...so will your little guy!
I used a mei tai form the time she was about 6 weeks and 7 lbs

I use a hotsling and haven't had any problems so far. i do seem to check on him quite often to make sure he is breathing but I do that no matter where he is.
i used a moby wrap from when she was 35 wks gestational and still use it. it has a way you can wrap it that holds the head etc. and teh baby is basically in a fetal position...allows you to carry your baby and have your hands free...it was incredibly freeing the first day i used it.
