I need help with babywearing!

[alisha_t]

So, I bought a moby wrap and LO sat in it once without crying out of a good 20 tries. She didn't like the fact that she couldn't look around. I next bought a babyhawk. It arrived yesterday, but she already dislikes it. She is 3 months old (almost) and doesn't like the froggy legs anymore. She keeps trying to stand up in it, which makes her way too high up and too close to my face. Headbutting my lip all day will not work, lol. But, she can not comfortably wrap her legs around my waist yet for the legs out hold. The website says that they should be able to straddle you comfortably for that one. I really want (need) to get this down because she wants to be carried all the time and I have no family/friends to help with household stuff. DH works 12 hours a day every day of the week, so I feel bad for asking him to do things as he is already exhausted. And, I have now spent all of our extra splurge money for the next 2 months on babywearing, only for it not to work. Any ideas, suggestions, tips, anything? Am I doing it wrong?

I have a stretchy wrap similar to moby and she happily looks left and right, so not sure what you mean about can't look around?

I think because of the way that it sits on me, the part that goes over my shoulders blocks her view. Maybe she will be better with it once she can hold her head straight for longer.

3 months is a typical fussy period unfortunately for babywearing, around 5 months they get back to normal - it's really because they want to see everything but they're not really ready for it, a bit too old for froggy but a bit too young, LOL, think of an 'awkward teen phase'.

Ah, I see. Well, at least all hope is not lost. Thanks
