By the way, Nadine, I don't think ist was stupid at all to do your research before you go out and spend a heap of money on a carrier/sling/wrap.

You will better off with something that spreads the weight evenly. I don't like ring slings at all as it puts the weight all one side.
HAB & Mei tie's are perfect at spreading the weight across your back for more longer wear.

Oh by the way, when I made my HAB wrap, I used 2.5 meters & halfed it & I used a really strong seam & have never had an issue with it splitting, it had a name but I can't think of it now... it will come to me at some point down the track LOL

Sasa!!! Thanks babe, thing is I have this "thing" with google .. call it information overload! So even though I know doning some research is good, I tend to over do it with google , hence being stupid in trying to be smart!!

I was thinking my shoulder would be awfully sore after a session, sure if it's a premmie and bubba weighs like 1.8 when coming home ... fine, but they do tend to grow don't they

The good thing is that if you start with bubba when they're newborn, their weight will increase gradually and you will get stronger. I don't think I would have done too well carrying a 10kg toddler all of a sudden but I have worked myself up from 3.9kg and I'm fine.
By the way, I know exactly what you mean. I have the nickname "GG" or "Google Geek" for a reason
