Keep trying! Some babies take a while to get used to them. Most babies also seem to like it better when you're being active and moving around. So stand and sway, or put them in it when you're planning to walk or run errands. Also, some babies get fussy because it makes them want to nurse. So try feeding your LO before putting them in the carrier.

Mostly though, it just takes time for you and baby to figure out what positions and carriers work best for you. So keep at it! Hopefully baby will come around soon. Good luck!

Try different positions and definitely move while you're wearing her.

I know my guy hates tummy-to-tummy, but loves a seated sideways carry where his head is between my breasts. He doesn't care what carrier I use if I'm using that carry.

But he doesn't let me sit down or stand still while wearing him, either.

Also try your different wraps. My LO (she is 5 weeks now) loved the cradle position in our Hotsling for about 2 weeks when she was just born, and we just couldn't put her in a moby wrap, but then, suddenly two weeks ago, she completetly switched. Now I can't get her in the sling at all! I only use the woven wrap with her right now, adn who knows what will happen nexte week! I guess that's why every one says get several style of babycarriers!

What really works for me is to put her in the wrap when she has just fed, and her diaper is clean, adn she is relaxed and even a little sleepy. And walking around as soon as she is in is definitly a good advice. On she falls asleep, I can sit at the computer (like now!) and it's fine.

Hang in there...I thought wearing the baby would be so easy, but found it wasn't, but gets better! Just like breastfeeding, really!
