We had an ergo and the beco gemini. She never took to the ergo so I sold it. Have you tried any carriers other than the ergo or sling? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-hates-ergo#post-697815 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 19:09:19 +0000 pastemoo 697815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: My baby doesn't like the Ergo but loves being worn--woven wrap, ring sling (but I don't like the ring sling), podaegi, and sometimes a different style of soft structured carrier... every baby is different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-hates-ergo#post-697778 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 18:36:44 +0000 LemonLong 697778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine doesn't love it. She doesn't mind the hot sling though so I've been using that and will keep trying the ergo as she grows. She's currently 5 months old, but only 13 lbs. I feel like she kind of gets swallowed up by it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-hates-ergo#post-697735 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 18:05:01 +0000 meredithNYC 697735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine never loved it, either! After trying and failing so many time, I pretty much gave up around 4 or 5 months. Then I needed to use it when we were flying a couple of weeks ago (LO is now 10 months old) and I was so worried she would hate it. She was totally fine. So I guess you just never know! Of course, now she weighs too much for me to use it frequently and not have my back hurt. I know some people don't mind, but I guess it would have been easier if she had used it consistently and I was able to gradually get used to carrying a heavier baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-hates-ergo#post-697719 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 17:57:43 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 697719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You have to keep reintroducing it in small doses. Our daughter who didn't love it, we'd put her in and then take her outside to entertain her, soon she made good associations and now she and her sister both beg to be baby worn! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-hates-ergo#post-697718 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 17:57:42 +0000 rachiecakes 697718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS hated the Ergo for a long time. I bought a Bjorn and he loooved facing out, so for a while that was the only way I could wear him.<br /> Once he could sit up and turn himself around he liked the Ergo better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-hates-ergo#post-697655 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 16:45:27 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 697655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So does mine.<br /> He will be 6m in a few days as well.<br /> I think I am going to try again around the 8m mark. I bought mine used off of Ebay but still, dang. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-hates-ergo#post-697651 Sun, 07 Apr 2013 16:44:17 +0000 googly-eyes 697651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've had an ergo and sling since LO was about four weeks old and I've tried them on and off but she doesn't like them, especially the ergo. Most recently at 6 months we tried it again and she cried so hard after only ten or so seconds in it. </p> <p>Any tips, or is it just that she's used to the stroller and being carried on occasion? Do some babies just never like being worn? Am I doing something wrong? The ergo was expensive! </p>
