You can safely do legs out in almost every carrier from birth (though I probably wouldn't in a SSC). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-arching-while-being-worn#post-1723047 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 09:30:32 +0000 edelweiss 1723047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: doesn't hurt to try! i think we moved to the legs out position around that age and stopped using the knees-folded-froggy-position--i took out the pillow from the bottom of the newborn insert (which we used once because he was squished and didn't like it) and put it at the bottom so he had a little lift. other people use rolled up blankets or something like that. hope it gets better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-arching-while-being-worn#post-1723004 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 09:18:08 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1723004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@edelweiss: she's 3 months now and I was still trying to put her in the newborn hold. Should I be using a new position? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-arching-while-being-worn#post-1712487 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 12:29:27 +0000 edelweiss 1712487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>how old is she? are you trying to put her in the same position that she liked before? i'm sorry about the reflux, maybe you're right and that has something to do with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/back-arching-while-being-worn#post-1712285 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 11:12:17 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1712285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok what am I doing wrong? DD2 has reflux, so that might be part of the problem... </p> <p>But, when I try to put her in the Ergo or in the ring sling, she keeps stiffening up, arching her back and fussing which makes it impossible to get her in securely. She won't relax - she used to sit so sweetly in it. Does this mean she doesn't like it anymore? Is she uncomfortable? </p> <p>I tried to get a picture but I couldn't safely get one. </p>
