When DS is awake and alert and I put him in the wrap (my favorite carrier so far!), he just hates facing me, so I've started turning him around and facing him out so he can see what's going on.
At a LLL meeting on Monday, someone told me that it's bad for baby's back to face out if they're under 6 months old.
Now I'm torn - I don't wear him for more than an hour at a time facing out and if he's asleep, then he faces me. How bad is this for him? I figure it can't be all that bad since it's not for very long and he's quiet. It's the best way to wear him during supper when he's fussy. I've ordered a Heart to Heart padded sling, but it's not here yet. I'm hoping to start using that more once I get it.
