Baby hates baby bjorn carrier
Show your support
My friends little one was the same initially. Took a break from it and then tried again and just persisted and then she ended up loving it x
Have you checked baby’s position in the carrier? Lots of helpful YouTube vids on how to get positioning right - plenty of vids for baby bjorn carriers specifically too.
My partner uses the baby bjorn one and had a similar issue he needed to reposition the inner zip to the higher level and then he was a happy boy. I use the Artipoppe zeitgeist definitely not the cheapest but our boy absolutely loves it and I find it so comfortable and easy to adjust when I’m on my own. X
Ergo baby!
Baby Bjorn don't have the best support for little babies, they don't end up in a proper M shame (knees above bum). Saying that, most babies cry at first, try sending a pic to Baby Wearing UK group on Facebook and they will help you with fit check, that will make such a difference. If position is right, then as you're putting her in, you need to start rocking and moving, moving around helps distract them and go out for a walk. A couple of these and she should get used to it. Mine was the same in the beginning, she now loves it. I had to get different carrier (ergobaby embrace), as narrow positioning kept putting pressure on her spine
I follow a load of baby wearing ones on Instagram. Letstalkbabywearing just posted something about getting babies more comfortable I think. We do a lot of bouncing when she doesn’t really want to go in, nothing with feet, or any of the little outfits that are restricting (those cute dungarees or thick fabric dresses) and sometimes I just loosen the straps and hold on to her and give obnoxious noisy kisses until she seems happier.. I use the freerider carrier the most or their sling, but also have a boba carrier from vinted which is probably the most comfortable for her? Along with a handful of other carriers.. but I baby wear everyday so I rationalize… woven ring wrap next 😅🙈
My son hated facing me. Once I faced him the other way, he was super happy. I had to put a muslin blanket at the crotch area, to elevate him. I don’t know which exact carrier you have, but I have the baby bjorn one carrier
Thank you so much all! Super helpful
Hi Katya,my baby was the same but I kept putting him in it and now he loves it.I was advised that if babies hate something,persist with it and they’ll get used to it and this has worked on a lot of thing my baby hated (pram,carrier & tummy time)😅.He loves all the above now despite screaming before he got used to them.Goodluck!
