newborn hates being worn?

He also hated being swaddled after the first week. Don't lose hope though, I just tried him last week in the sling and Beco, and he tolerated it better than he ever has, I actually think he is going to like the Beco once he can see out of it and face forward. Some babes, I think need to grow into being worn. Just like you my DS1 loved being worn. In the meantime, get your hands on a swing, bouncer, or a Leachco Podster. That is where DS2 prefers to be when not in our arms. He lives in his snugabunny swing.

Don't froggy the legs in then! I don't like froggying legs with newborns-it can put pressure on their hips and end up putting them in an unnatural position unless it's done just right (which is difficult to get them in the right position). I recommend legs out in a ring sling. This is the way I like to teach it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_9cYAkJiAw&list
