wearing my special needs baby

[mombh]

I am trying to get as much info as I can on wearing my ds (8 weeks ) who has down syndrome and the different carriers.

right now he is happy and snug in the wrap facing me with his whole body supported and his head on my chest...
but as he grows I would like to do different carries and use different carriers.
with my older kids I loved the mei tai or ssc ( I have a Yamo) especially for back carries.
I have been told that babies with down syndrome
1) should not be carried with their legs hanging ???and spine not adequetly supported and
2) thier legs shouldn't be be spread open, like on hip carries???

I am hoping to hear from any mamas whe have btdt or know someone who has or just know about this and the different carriers.....
I have to do more research too..... I Have tried the cradle hold in the sling/pouch and he does not like it and I don't really like all the weight on one shoulder either, so am really looking for info on wraps and mei tais

Special Needs Parents?

Have you tried posting over in the Special Needs Parenting forum. Moms over there probably have more experience, and might even know of some specially designed carriers.
