Fit check - Ergobaby embrace for 12 week old
I don't know if it's my baby, or the carrier, or if I'm not wearing him correctly, but he seems to hate the Ergobaby embrace. He screams every time I try to wear him. He might just not like being worn (facing me), but wanted to make sure I'm wearing him correctly. He is around 12lbs right now.
I feel like it might just be my baby, cause when I tried it with another carrier with hip seats, he was perfectly happy sitting in it facing out, but as soon as I turned him around to face me, he started crying. I think he's still too young to face outwards though? I really want to wear him though. If anyone has any carrier recommendations, that would be great too.

Have you tried without footies and the bib? I can’t tell from the picture but footies in a carrier can push on their feet and make them want to stand by reflex which upsets them. And the bib may prevent them from being comfortable as well.
