There are lots of differently designed things which hold
the infant more or less upright next to your body.  Some
rules of thumb for picking these (made up on the spur of
the moment but based on 2 kids): the child should be on
your chest, not your back, for the first 6-12 months.
They should not be reclining, but lengthwise with their
tummy on your tummy.  You should be able to put them in the
pouch and then put the pouch on you (This is more important
in the reverse situation, when they are asleep in the pouch
and you want to gently take them off and lie them down.)

In two different cities we have lived in the local La Leche League
had someone who made a version of the pouch in her home that
was just right.
