When did you start to use your Baby Bjorn carrier?

So the Baby Bjorn carrier says the weight min is 8 lbs and DD is 8 lbs 3 oz now. DH is a little hesitant about her spinal development and is unsure about using the carrier now but I want to start to carry DD around.

Any advice?

I started using them right away - well, once they hit that 8 pound mark! It was a lifesaver for me and I loved "wearing" them. They didn't always nap at the same time so it came in handy when I had to do housework.

I used it fairly early on since he was colicky. it was a lifesaver. He was about 8lb4oz

I used it right away with Steven. But he was also almost 10 lbs when he was born.

I think you will be OK as long as you use the loops for the leg openings because it adds extra stability. As long as she is big enough and not in there too loosly, she will be fine.

Not until 3 months and even then we didn't use it a lot. There is definitely controversy over using it a lot and babies having hip issues.

I would suggest a sling for your DD since she's still so young.
