bad back

[pastelsummer]

But I love to wear my baby! But after about 10-15 min I am in so much pain. So does anyone have any advice?

I wore E for a long time, after the first few months I *had* to have a two shoulder carry & not too long after that I *had* to have the extra lumbar support (around the waist). I am still wearing S in a one shoulder sling, but I can't do it for too long. The moby is much better. I am thinking mei tei when the weather gets nice & the wrap is too warm.

Have you tried an ergo?

What are you using now?

right now I am improvising, and just have a blanket with a knot in it. I did by a padded sling from the SNS thoug so I am not sure how that will work. the thing is I have sooo little money. my DH is self-employed and we never know how much we will make or even when. So I have to be cheap about some stuff

Most padded slings aren't very comfy. You can make your own slings! Lots of mamas here have made homemade moby wraps. Here's a site that may help: http://www.mamatoto.org/Default.aspx?tabid=63

Yes definately something that goes over both shoulders:) a wrap or meitai:) as the baby gets bigger carrying them on your back will help a lot too:)

Maybe check the fabric store in the clearance section. You could get severl yds of fabric and have a DIY wrap. :heart I hope you're able to find something that works!
