This Months Question:

Q: " Dear Babywearing expert, My baby is 2 weeks old, and I'd like to start as soon as possible with babywearing. I've got a wrap, and I've tried several times to put him in there, but he doesn't seem to enjoy it very much. We've been out already a couple of times, and since we were walking and stuff he seemed that he was sleeping peacefully, but whenever I try at home, he wakes up if he was sleeping, or starts crying and screaming if he was awake. I've heard that some babies need more time to get used to being in a wrap. I'd like to know if you've got some useful tips that I could use to try to get him used to it. Thanks for your advice."
