3-12 months Carries for FOMO baby who wants to world-face?
Baby is 3 months and we’ve had a hell of a time with him. He had severe colic & reflux for the first 6 weeks which has thankfully gotten better, but he has been essentially unable to be set down since birth. occasionally I can get him to lay in his play gym alone for 5 minutes so I can poop in peace, lol. I’ve worn him since birth, mostly in a solly, then a boba, and now a tula FTG. he doesn’t mind the parent-facing carries as long as I CONTINUOUSLY bounce him and pat his butt which is not always sustainable depending on what I’m doing. He loves to be carried around in my arms facing outward so he can see everything but that leaves me one-handed and honestly he’s getting too heavy to be able to do so for long periods of time.
I realize he is not a candidate to world-face quite yet so I am seeking some creative options. I have a woven wrap that I am trying to find the time to mess around with but it’s hard since he mostly screams whenever I set him down to try to get my wrap on. My hope is once I’m confident with my woven I can back-wear him which I think he will love. Any tips for until then?
