My baby likes to be carried face front

Hi all my baby is just only about 3.5 months old and he very much prefers to be carried facing front (one hand across his chest and other hand supporting his bottom, like almost sitting), if we try to cradle him instead or put him to rest he will not stop crying! I'm not sure if it's too early to hold him face front like this as I read babies aren't supposed to sit up so early.

If you’re carrying him, that’s actually perfectly fine:) his neck support should be good by now. You can actually use a baby carrier and face him in front. That should be more comfortable for you too (less tiring than carrying). They like looking around them at this age, so it’s normal behaviour. When my LO was 3 months old, we took her out for walks in the carrier and she was in it facing the front. She loved it so much!

each baby's development is different. Just follow what your baby is keen on doing. But you have to give more attention on him closely. Stay safe always (:
