Ok ladies any suggestions for back ache when using the ergo? My new DS has reflux and I've been wearing him during the day so that he can sleep. He's about 6.5kg whereas my little girl didn't weigh this much until she was about 6 months. I used to wear my dd for long periods too because she had silent reflux but I never got the pain, I'm guessing because she was alot lighter. Is there a way of adjusting the straps that will remove that pressure in my upper back?
Hi babyluv
At that weight you shouldn't feel a thing if it's adjusted right. Is the waist band down on your hips? Are the shoulder straps very snug? If it's pulling on your upper back, it may be that you need to tighten it up some more.
Yep it's low on my hips. Ill try tightening the shoulder straps tomorrow and see if that helps. Thanks.
you could try contacting babes in arms on fb, too. they're pretty good about answering questions I think. (is it them? or someone else?) anyway, I'm very confident you'll sort this out with a few pointers - 6.5kg is nothing in an ergo. (and I'll admit i'm not a huge fan of the carrier)
Why, may I ask?:
TBH it isn't really working out for DS2 ATM either...
it worked ok for us on the front, but on the back I just couldn't get it snug enough to be comfy. it carries quite low, so DD would swing out to the side to see stuff - which meant it pulled on my back even more, and this was exacerbated by the short body of the ergo (so easier to lean out and away from me). The only other full-buckle soft structured carrier I've tried is an olive&applesauce, and that was much better - carried higher and longer body, plus would adjust down a bit more. Still not great, though.
I think sometimes you need a bit of helping jigging it just right - baby needs to be seated well to distribute the weight down on hips - maybe give some thought to where you're wearing the waist band - higher or lower - and shoulder straps need to be very snug.
Teni it's gorgeous!!
I'm stalking a woman on a fb baby wearing site who dyed her Lenny Lamb a beautiful green and is now thinking of selling it. Mmm.. Could be my first woven although I have a Aqua Waves Didytai... Does that count?? Lol!!
Is a 7 too long for a beginner or a good length to start with??
It's beautiful Tenibear! !
7 is very long. How big are you?
Often it's recommended to start with longer ones, so you can try lots of different carry styles. I actually think it's better to start with a mid-length wrap and learn the rucksack carry first - it's probably the simplest carry to learn. Then get shorter or longer ones to try other carries.
