What carrier positions are you using now? I only know of one for an infant and I am not really a fan of it. I tried the kangaroo once and liked it, then read it should be used for infants (anyone know when you can use that?)

    I have the ergo, but we are taking LO on a plane so I ordered the k'tan cause it's easier to hold them.. So far I hate it cause I can't find any position I feel comfortable with. I'm probably just dumb and can't figure it out

    I use the hug position. DD loves it. And usually I can put her in it asleep or get her out of it asleep.

    When I purchased it at a specialty (re natural) baby store here that's how they showed me how to use it.

    Kangaroo. Like hug position but feet tucked in. I love it. She naps there frequently.

    We started kangaroo and switched to hug around seven or eight weeks, but I'm mostly using the ring sling these days.

    I do the tummy to tummy position as if he were laying flat on my chest and froggy/M-position his legs. It works well and he falls asleep usually.

    Eta: sometimes he will push off my chest to look around which is annoying. I'll just use one hand to steady his head until he has full control of it.

    Their legs are spread in the hug position right? Is that safe for their hips? I want to use that position, but I tried it and panicked because her legs were so wide!

    That worries me too! I also read that the position shouldn't be used until babies have complete control of their head/neck muscles.

    Their website has great videos. Also, DD is 8 weeks and we use Kangaroo still.

    Typically you want to start the hug position when they start pushing with their feet in the kangaroo hold. We just switched to legs out and i feel so much more comfortable with it, he's flatter against me so i don't have a huge lump on my chest

    I use kangaroo and hug pretty equally now. She's 9 weeks and seems to like hug better because she can look around more easily.
