Most educators will agree if your baby is still REALLY balled up (as in truly never un-bends their knees on their own) keeping legs in is fine as long as they are "sitting" or placing any weight on their feet or ankles. This won't last more than a few weeks and is most common with babies who are born a bit early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-baby-with-legs-out#post-2327850 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 20:17:36 +0000 gracecat 2327850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2.5-3 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-baby-with-legs-out#post-2327844 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 20:13:09 +0000 Foodnerd81 2327844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: I already feel like my mom, being so behind on what's what. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-baby-with-legs-out#post-2327808 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 19:58:59 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2327808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: DD1 isn't even three yet and tons of recommendations are different from when she was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-baby-with-legs-out#post-2327783 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 19:47:40 +0000 Foodnerd81 2327783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO was the same way (pushing to stand in the moby) so I started legs out (but knees above hips) around ten weeks I think. A baby wearing expert at a local store said some babies just prefer it. </p> <p>@Mrs. Oatmeal: @MrsB2012: @oliviaoblivia: I had no idea this was the recommendation now! Good to know since I'll be wearing this new baby soon enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-baby-with-legs-out#post-2327699 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 18:31:01 +0000 Dagny 2327699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh wow, I had no idea! With LO1 the recommendation at the time was feet in for newborns. I'm glad I asked! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-baby-with-legs-out#post-2327451 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 15:19:39 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2327451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dagny: I've been wrapping legs out with the moby for the last week- M is 1 month and 11lbs. Much comfier and I think I've read that legs out are now recommended from birth (for moby, ktan etc, not the structured carriers that require an insert). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-baby-with-legs-out#post-2327444 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 15:17:52 +0000 MrsB2012 2327444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went with legs out at birth ( the recommendation now.) It took some practice to get the hang of it when I used a wrap or my RS. The SSC I used has a nice built in insert that made it really easy to get legs out right away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-baby-with-legs-out#post-2327436 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 15:15:30 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2327436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The recommendation is legs out from birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-baby-with-legs-out#post-2327389 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 14:51:31 +0000 Dagny 2327389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, thanks all! I think I'll try then. I'm using a Moby right now and their guidelines on this are a bit fuzzy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-baby-with-legs-out#post-2327385 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 14:49:33 +0000 Rockies11 2327385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was really early, probably 6 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-baby-with-legs-out#post-2327372 Tue, 20 Oct 2015 14:46:16 +0000 travelgirl1 2327372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From the start.

She always pushes her legs straight as I wrap her. Is she old enough for me to try with her legs out? </p>
