Really sad...

DD doesn't seem to like baby wearing and she doesn't sleep with me anymore either Crying It makes me so sad... mostly the baby wearing. She HATED the bjorn and she really doesn't seem to like the mei tai (We have the infantino version), She loves being carried on my hip when we're out and she also loves being carried around in her car seat to, but neither of those is very convenient! I think the biggest problem with the mei tai is that she likes to look around and she can't in that, and it says to wait to use the hip position until baby can sit up unassisted (and she can't yet, she's only 3 month). She only stays in the car seat snapped into the stroller when she's sleeping, then she starts screaming (again because I think she likes to look around) so we tried to put her in just the reclined stroller and she hated it! As soon as she realized she couldn't see me she started screaming! So we have concluded that she likes to look around but has to be able to see me too, so I'm thinking about trying a Maya Wrap maybe? Any suggestions?

    You can do a forward facing position in the Moby wrap. Cross her legs and put her in kind of bundled in a little ball...or good Lotus position for better directions. Big Smile

    I would try the hip carry in the moby too - my LO really liked that once she became more aware of her surroundings and didn't want to forward face anymore. After a while I "upgraded" to a woven and started the high back carries around 8 months. She loved that, as long as I was moving! ;) You could also try a ring sling for the hip carry.

    Ring sling! DS always loved the hip carry, I think it gave him the closeness and security but he was still able to take in his surroundings. I preferred it over back carries because I like to interact and see his reactions to his environment. When he was smaller we would do something between a hip and tummy-to-tummy (slightly to the side but not all the way to the hip) and when he was sleepy I'd just slide him to the front so he could lay his head on my chest. The trick with wearing a RS comfortably like this is to keep it high and snug and spread the fabric across your back as much as possible so the weight is distributed.

    A kangaroo hold in a RS is nice at that age too but it's not ideal for active situations.
