I've tried a few times putting DD3 in an ergo and also a ring sling. I've tried a tummy to tummy carry as well as cradle carry but it all just seems to frustrate her. Am I doing something wrong do you think (hard one I know when you can't see), or does it just take some LOs to get used to them?
Dd2 never liked it, she would always get upset, I think it's because she always had a sore tummy she hated clothes too. Whereas dd1 and ds loved the sling.
Different bubs like different things, too.
My DD hated being wrapped as a baby, but loved the ergo. she still prefers arms out and legs swinging freely :)
do you have pics? you can post and we can see if there's any tweaking to do?
my ds isn't so keen after a feed, I think it hurts his tummy. Other times he is happier to be worn. Maybe try different times of the day too.
I found DD1 would only go in the sling outside or in a big shopping centre, never inside the house. I had to get her to sleep outside first.
Hmmm. So it could just be her not liking it.
MadB - will try and get some pics tomorrow and post them. I think one of my problems with the ring sling (sakura bloom) is that I can't get the top rung tight enough. Not sure if I've not threaded it through the rings properly, or if its because the silk gets stuck?
Astrid - I've only tried her out so far. At home she's pretty good at sleeping so I just put her in her swing or cot or hammock or mat (this kid has more beds than a 5 star hotel!!)
Buster went through a little stage where he seemed to hate the sling (I had a CC) and I remember feeling devastated because I really wanted to wear him! But as I said, it ended up being a stage and the next week I couldn't get him out of there :D
