My ds does not like babywearing so much.... he is 3 months old and I have tried the ring sling, Moby wrap, regular sling, and the front carrier. We have worked on all of them a little since birth, but are working even harder these last couple days. But he really doesn't like it, different positions and all, and cries, I try to comfort and make it good and then he just sleeps in it. I've tried all the positions, I talk to him, sing to him, etc.
He doesn't really like to just be held, either.
However, he LOVES his swing. He cries for it. When he gets in there, he is happy, smiles, laughs, talks, etc. I am trying to cut back on the amount of time he spends in there. He will make eye contact and talk to us if he is in there. When he is in the swing, he even lets us leave the room. If we put him down anywhere else he doesn't want us to leave, though he is starting to exhibit this same independent behavior in his car seat.
He is only 3 months, so I am thinking a little young to be wanting independence, plus he has pretty much always been this way.
We breastfeed, bed share, all the other good stuff.....
Are we not developing a secure attachment? What should I be doing?
Thanks!
