Is a sling the best way to carry my newborn?

No, I wouldn’t recommend using a sling. A baby needs to be held close to your body and in contact with you at all times for proper bonding and attachment. Using a sling can cause your baby to become too far away from you, which can lead to separation anxiety. Instead of using a sling, hold your baby close and snuggly, or use an infant carrier like a wrap or a front-facing car seat.
