You can start from the moment your baby leaves the hospital. If you are new to wrapping, it might take a while to master how to tie a wrap properly and an improper technique might be unsafe for your newborn. Ringslings are easier to tie and use. For your baby's comfort, you can get a woven wrap ringsling which is more cooling. Babies should be worn upright and the cradle carry position should be avoided unless you are breastfeeding in the carrier. You could use a soft structured carrier (SSC) with an infant insert. Tula is widely popular. Other brands you can consider which are ergonomic are the Kokadi Flip, emeiBaby and ergobaby. You can try out baby carriers before committing to one. Bumwear at Marina Square level 2 allows people to test carriers.
