They may like to spend some time in a swing or bouncer seat, but may quickly get bored and want to be picked up. This becomes even more common at this age as your baby is awake for longer periods of time during the day.
While you could simply carry your baby in your arms all of the time, it is hard to get anything else done that way. Plus your arms will likely quickly get tired.
A Maya Wrap Sling is a great way to carry your baby around and keep your arms and hands free. It is an adjustable fabric wrap that lets you carry your baby in many different positions including the reclining newborn carry position, the vertical snuggle hold, and forward facing kangaroo carry. The last two positions are similar to what you would expect from using something like a BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier.
