We've always faced her forward. She fusses if facing backward. But, we didn't start using it until she was about 3 months b/c I had a c-section and couldn't hold her in it.
I think he was about 3.5 months when we faced him forward for the first time (just a couple of weeks ago). We waited until he had good head control, and now he loves it.
I just got my Bjorn in the mail today! Whoohoo. LO seems to really like sitting facing out and looking around at the world. He is almost 4 months old. He has good head control.
Re: Baby Bjorn users - when did you start facing LO face forward?
I think around 3.5 months. He hated facing in. Now he actually likes both and will fall asleep facing in.
He has always had really great head control tho.
About 3 and a half months, as soon as he could hold his head up well enough.
this.
