Need help with Mei Tai back carry

I'm having trouble wearing DD on my back in my mei tai. It seems like her face is right in the shoulder straps and she's not the biggest fan of that. Anyone else have this trouble? Will she just hopefully get used to it at some point, or should I just stick to hip and front carries?

Try tying the waist straps up higher, maybe above your breasts for a high back carry. This will let the panel & her bum hang lower, so the top edge of the panel will also be lower on her, and should keep the straps out of her face. The edge of the panel should be less of a ")" shape and more of a "J" shape, kwim?

You could also try rolling the waist strap over a couple of times so that you are shortening the body of the mei tai.
