Hiya, my DD is about 5 and a half months old, since she was born she has enjoyed being carried in the Baby Bjorn. We have a Close sling too but DH and I found that quite fiddly to put on especially when DD is screaming and writhing about (which she often was when she was tiny) so we've not really used it.
We are going out for a bit later to a place where pushing her around in the pram wouldn't be possible due to space, but it is probably going to rain when we walk there. Is it possible to carry her in the rain, what do people do, just hold an umbrella over baby? Also, her head control is now excellent and she enjoys looking around whilst being carried, which is difficult when she's turned in to our chest, but she still often sleeps in the carrier too. We are thinking about trying her outward facing in it when we're out because I'm sure she'd like to look at everything, but what happens if baby wants to sleep, would we have to change it and turn her inward facing? Her sleep/wake habits are erratic and difficult to predict, we just do it based on sleep cues like yawning and rubbing her eyes. Thanks!
