Alex has colic and babywearing is a lifesaver. How long is too long? I know he needs to get out and stretch his legs (he is in fetal position), how often? I even feed him in the carrier (he needs to be propped straight up to keep the acid down).
How many hours do you wear your baby

Emma had colic too and I just kept her in there as long as it would keep her happy 
Sorry that's not much help in terms of hours but I figured she was getting out of the wrap for diaper changes and I usually fed her outside of the wrap too. I always figured it's not much different than swaddling and I've never heard of time limits on swaddling so I wouldn't worry about him being in the fetal position for too long. Although colic feels like it lasts a lifetime while you're all suffering through it, it does eventually end and really, in the grand scheme of things, it's a pretty short period of time- I wouldn't worry too much about carrying your LO too much if he finds it soothing
