Try new things before noon every day. They have a better tolerance for new things earlier in the day. For wraps and slings, they need to get used to it, so start in small increments and work them up to long lengths. If they scream at first, try bouncing and singing to calm them, once they are calm, take them out and try again later, each time going for a longer increment. Hope that helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-lo-to-enjoy-baby-wrap#post-511742 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 21:07:03 +0000 rachiecakes 511742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oahujeni: my baby hated wraps, slings &amp; swaddles from day 1. :/ he would only enjoy facing out in a Baby Bjorn. Once he was big enough of course.<br /> He's 1 now and we use the Ergo but if he couldn't see up and all around he would still hate it I'm sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-lo-to-enjoy-baby-wrap#post-511492 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 20:25:27 +0000 oahujeni 511492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I thought he was happy and fed but as soon as he gets in he goes nuts. And no he will not take a paci... I've tried 4 different ones already and refuses every one! I'll just keep trying :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-lo-to-enjoy-baby-wrap#post-511345 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 20:03:22 +0000 hilsy85 511345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would make sure to try when he's happy and well fed. Does he take a paci? Maybe give him one in there to help him relax. Other than that, just keep trying! I feel like babies' preferences change quickly, so even though he doesn't like it now, he might in a week or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-get-lo-to-enjoy-baby-wrap#post-511302 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 19:55:20 +0000 oahujeni 511302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got the boba/sleepy wrap to wear LO in during the day, but when I put him in it he screams bloody murder. I have him in there right and it feels comfortable, but he stretches his neck and head back and cries the whole time he's in it. I thought babies liked to be worn and close to their mommas? He does great in the ergo but that's too uncomfortable for me to move around in during the day. Any advice on how to get him acclimated to the wrap without it stressing him out? </p>
