I feel like we are doing this all wrong. Is he too small for this carrier? Also, is he supposed to be facing towards me?…

Ignore my dirty mirror ?

Turn that poor baby around!! He looks uncomfortable. Try YouTube videos for your brand.

Try front facing him as PP's said. He looks too small to be facing that way!

He needs to face you, you should be able to kiss the top of his head as well.

It should be almost like when he's laying on your chest normally but just in the carrier.

Lol he looks so uncomfortable. I have the same carrier, hate it. My husband is the only one that can use it correctly.

Thank you, I'll try facing him towards me. I wasn't sure I've never used one before. I regret adding this carrier to my registry it's so bulky and uncomfortable ?

Those more structured carriers work better for a bit older baby.

I would turn him around and put a rolled up receiving blanket under his bum to keep him sitting a bit higher. His legs should be froggied. So knees higher than bum which you can maneuve with the blanket. You should be able to see a clear open airway when you look down and kiss the top of his head. Once you figure out what works best than it will become second nature!

If he cant hold his head up without support he needs to be facing towards you.

?front carrying puts pressure on baby's spine. And can cause overstimulation among other things. Here is some info

Thanks for the info. I had no idea facing forward wasn't good for baby

Awhhhh lol you're a good mommy. You tried. This post made me laugh a little lolol mom fail.

When I had my son, I thought he sweat a lot at night because he was always soaked in the morning. So I took him to the doctor and turns out that I wasn't doing his diaper correctly and it was pee. ???? I still laugh about it.

@mona that's funny that you say that because I've always told my mom that my baby is such a sweaty baby and that's why I don't dress him in anything too warm at nighttime. Now you have me wondering if he's actually "sweaty" ?? being a mommy is such a learning experience

Feet get tucked and facing you. He should be all cuddly and cozy as he would normally fall asleep on your chest, if that makes sense. Using your boobs as a pillow :) you should be able to kiss his head :)

Always face you! Always!

I'm glad you asked for help op. I hate seeing moms like this in the store, it's very uncomfortable for baby and the long term effects are not worth it.
