shellshell if it's any comfort my DD went through a phase at about 25months where she was ADAMANT she wasn't going in the meitai anymore. Everywhere we went she had to walk or go in the stroller, and she too would cry if i got the meitai out. About 4 months later she was really tired one day (out walking) and asked to go in the meitai. I had it with me (optimistic and also knew it was very far for her to manage on her own feet) and she happily went in. From there she went back to wanting it on and off, not as much as before, but certainly once or twice a fortnight. To be honest of late *I* have had to stop using it as much now i'm PG. She is also getting so big that it barely reaches around her anymore (it's a homemade one).

So though she might not want it right now, and might not for a few months, it also might not be forever hun. To be honest by the time she was ready to go back into it i'd begun to embrace the new turn our relationship had taken, and though i welcomed her back onto my back, it's been much less painful all round as we'e gradually used it lss and less since. Having said that i am REALLY looking forward to wearing version 1.1 in the wrap/sling/meitai when s/he arrives
