I would keep trying it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-it-take-your-lo-a-while-to-warm-up-to-baby-wearing#post-215068 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 08:55:57 +0000 heffalump 215068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: she's almost a year. But I stopped trying earlier than I wanted to because it doesn't help with my migraines. Can't hurt to keep trying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-it-take-your-lo-a-while-to-warm-up-to-baby-wearing#post-214994 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 08:02:20 +0000 Mrs. Stroller 214994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it definitely took a little while and at first he'd only like it if we were outside and I was moving. Wearing while doing dishes or housework? Forget it, mommy, I want to move, move, move!</p> <p>ETA - he started loving it around 2 or 3 months. Now at 6.5m he'll stay in the Ergo on my back forever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-it-take-your-lo-a-while-to-warm-up-to-baby-wearing#post-214992 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 07:44:55 +0000 betsyboop 214992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Darn! May I ask how old your LO is? I'm wondering if I should keep trying or just throw in the towel and try to sell the carrier now? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-it-take-your-lo-a-while-to-warm-up-to-baby-wearing#post-214973 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 07:28:57 +0000 heffalump 214973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO never warmed up to it. She could take it for about a half hour at a time, and then she was done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-it-take-your-lo-a-while-to-warm-up-to-baby-wearing#post-214415 Sun, 08 Jul 2012 00:37:17 +0000 mynoahbear 214415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, she really didn't like being worn. I think it didn't help that I was uncomfortable too. We bought the ergo baby insert but ended up only using it a couple of times because both LO and I didn't like it. She's 6 months now and is kind of ok with the carrier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-it-take-your-lo-a-while-to-warm-up-to-baby-wearing#post-214396 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:45:11 +0000 owlmom 214396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO liked the moby for the first 2 months, but since then she has hated it. She loves the ergo, though. Luckily, a friend loaned me the moby, so I don't feel bad that we only used it for a short time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-it-take-your-lo-a-while-to-warm-up-to-baby-wearing#post-214228 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 17:17:01 +0000 jedeve 214228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This scares me! I really, really want to baby wear and don't have the money to try out a bunch of carriers. I wish I knew what s/he would like! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-it-take-your-lo-a-while-to-warm-up-to-baby-wearing#post-214225 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 17:07:21 +0000 cyndistar3 214225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo loves to be in the moby wrap and has loved it since birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-it-take-your-lo-a-while-to-warm-up-to-baby-wearing#post-214216 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 16:50:09 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 214216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With Lala, she took to it instantly. We've really had to work with M. to get her to like it. She likes the soft wrap, but still doesn't care for Ergo. We'll get her there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-it-take-your-lo-a-while-to-warm-up-to-baby-wearing#post-214214 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 16:47:09 +0000 betsyboop 214214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Exactly, the Gemini is too expensive for her not to like it! </p> <p>Thanks ladies for your input. Sigh, life would be so much easier if she would just take to her carrier...maybe I'd actually be able to get some housework done! I'll keep trying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-it-take-your-lo-a-while-to-warm-up-to-baby-wearing#post-214213 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 16:40:38 +0000 brownie 214213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!!! He hated it until we got the Gemini. Now we do pretty well with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-it-take-your-lo-a-while-to-warm-up-to-baby-wearing#post-214198 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 16:16:53 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 214198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My oldest hated anything but the sling at first, then she was okay in a wrap for a bit (at 3 months?) then the ergo at 4.5.<br /> Wonder Baby has been in the ergo since day one and always liked it, but she was a less fussy newborn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-it-take-your-lo-a-while-to-warm-up-to-baby-wearing#post-214191 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 16:06:01 +0000 Mrs. Pen 214191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: yup! My son is 4 mos and still doesn't really care for the beco gemini either. He LOVES it when DH carries him in it though. </p> <p>He prefers the maya wrap so much more though. And he's liked the wraps from day one. But the SSC's he wasn't always fond of. I hope as he gets bigger he likes the Beco more. It was too expensive for him not to like it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-it-take-your-lo-a-while-to-warm-up-to-baby-wearing#post-214180 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 15:56:58 +0000 autumnlove 214180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, she screamed every time we tried and wouldn't stop until we took her out! She finally warmed up to it around 4 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-it-take-your-lo-a-while-to-warm-up-to-baby-wearing#post-214177 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 15:55:38 +0000 woodentulip 214177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely think that some do! My first took to it right away, but my second still doesn't totally love it. Just today I tried her in the ring sling that I just got, and she is happiest in it--hoping she will take to the ergo when the times comes too, but she did NOT like to be worn in a wrap of any kind! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-it-take-your-lo-a-while-to-warm-up-to-baby-wearing#post-214174 Sat, 07 Jul 2012 15:52:34 +0000 betsyboop 214174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 6.5 weeks old, and every week I've tried to wear her in the Beco Gemini, and she HATES it! I'm so bummed, but am hoping she might eventually warm up to it? Did any of you have the same issue? </p>
