Can My Baby Get Over-stimulated When I Carry Them In the Front-facing Position?

You carry your baby close to your body in a baby carrier. This gives your baby a great sense of security. BabyBjorn recommend that babies are carried in the facing-in position for the first five months. By the age of five months, a baby is usually growing more interested in their surroundings and you can try the front-facing position to see if your baby likes it.

BabyBjorn collaborate with some of the world’s leading paediatricians and psychologists, and they say there is no need for parents to worry about their baby getting over-stimulated. The best thing you can do as a parent is to listen to your baby’s signals. If your baby seems to prefer the facing-in position, that’s fine. If you have an inquisitive baby, there’s no reason not to let them sit in the front-facing position when they are old enough. Let your baby decide!
