I hope I can get some ideas on wearing my daughter! I have 4 different types of babywearers (all free passed down from friends yay!) a Nojo w/ extra padded shoulder from Dr. Sears' website, a Maya wrap, a Baby Bjorn & a thing called a Cupertino. My daughter doesn't like any of them! Whenever I put her in one, whether she's asleep or awake, she screams & cries. So, I immediately take her out.
Problem is, she's a high needs baby so wants to be held all the time. Between my husband & I we maybe put her down in her swing or her otherwise unused crib for at the most 1/2 hour a day. Don't get me wrong, I feel like I need to be holding her all the time, but it would sure be nice if I could use both hands!
For now, I've been waiting until she's in her best part of her day & then I try her in one of them. The most successful one so far has been the Baby Bjorn which she will stay in for about 5 minutes before she starts grumping about & I take her out.
Since I'm an inexperienced Babywearer, I'm hoping someone can give me some ideas on what to do. Has this happened w/ others? She's so small I feel like sometimes she's lost in the Nojo or Maya & maybe I just need to learn some good infant positions since she's only 8 weeks old & is still pretty small. I'm going to a LLL meeting tonight & I'm going to take the Nojo with me so hopefully someone there can help me too.
Anyway, help!
