Wrap questions

[salt_light]

I've decided that a wrap will be the most comfortable carrier for me. So I went to Walmart and bought 5yds of some cool crinkle cotton fabric. II've been wearing 5 week old ds in a front cross hold Its great, but after about 20 minutes or so, it kills my back. I've got to be doing something wrong. Anyone have any tips?

Make sure the back part of the wrap is wrapped more around your hips than your waist. :)

And personally, I think you get a much better fit to wrap around the baby than to tie the wrap and than put the baby in. :shrug

It sounds like maybe you don't have it snug enough, or that the wrap isn't spread out enough (as in the fabric is twisted or bunched up). Make sure you're pulling the tails as tight as you can around ds, or if you're tying before putting him in, tie it tighter. And make sure the fabric crossing your back is laying flat.
