Hi mummies, any of your baby keeps crying when you first start using the baby carrier on him/her? If yes, did things get better after you keep getting them use to it? TIA.

No matter what carrier type you use, there is a learning curve for both the baby and the wearer. Try wearing when baby is in a good mood like when they are just newly fed/nursed. You may also try to sway a little, bounce a little, talk to baby while putting them in a carrier. If it's hot, make sure to wear light clothes. Make sure all adjustments are ok so that both of you are comfy. Also, try wearing a few minutes each day until he gets the hang of it. When we started with a hybrid wrap (baby k'tan) he would usually cry and stretch his legs but after fixing him in the carrier and i start walking, he would fall right to sleep. Now, whenever he sees the carrier he would bounce up and down in excitement.
