Ideal hair length for a new mom?

So, I'm due for a hair cut. My hair now is about two inches below my shoulders. With a new baby, am I better off with shorter hair? Or is long hair better because I can wear a pony tail? I've bounced back and forth, so either way is fine with me. I'm just curious to hear from the experience moms what would be the least pesky and least likely to get yanked by baby!

I am surprised I have a hair left on my head because Aidan is yanking at my hair whenever he can grab a handful!

My hair is long and I've been wanting to get it cut to shoulder length, I don't think it will help. Neither does a pony, he still find the little straglers or just pulls it right out of the pony! ouch!

While making it short would be less grab-able, there is no way I'll go with a pixie cut -- so I'm worried that I'll go crazy not being able to pull it back with baby... what a dilemna! hehe.

So, shall I go with the shortest length I can that will still make it back into a ponytail?
