Just to jump in here...D tries to straighten her legs in the sleepy wrap if she is awake. I tried legs out but it didnt seem like her legs are long enough for her to be comfortable. She is big but is all torsoe. So right now the wrap is great while she is sleeping but she tries to escape when awake.
We did it 5 weeks, but there is no too early. Apparently some emerging research from wrap experts in Germany are saying that legs out is always best, but it hasn't been translated into English yet so I can't 100% vouch for it.
