I found it very interesting and I think you have me sold. I have been unable to get out of the house for the last two weeks because of the weather and the pushchair that does not like ice and snow so this would have been perfect.

Five months is definately not too late to start. I only started properly (anything more than an occasional thing) at about 7 months, when we went on holiday. He immediately took to it, and loved being so close to me. I started with a mei tai, and never looked back, but you could also use a soft structured carrier or a woven wrap. I would bypass stretchy wraps as they can sag more with older babies, and pouches tend to be less good with a more wriggly baby. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a line. Hope that helps x Hi Kelly,
