Babywearing Tribe?

[FaithfulOne]

:headscratch....

I was sure that one existed!?

Anywhoooo, I have a dear friend with a 3 month old ds. She was given THE most gorgeous pouch sling for a shower gift and she claims it hurts her shoulder too much to wear. I tried to assure her it was likely place incorrectly and perhaps adjusting would help.
I love that she holds her baby everywhere we go (I've never seen her bring his carseat or a buggy...ever! )
I tried to make some other sling suggestions and she's interested in checking out some websites. Can anyone please send a few my way? She's interested more in double shoulder straps etc (like Moby's I guess?) She's tall and slim so could likely wear any carrier well.

Thanks!!

Try the baby k'tan!! I have one and absolutely love it, kinda like the moby but without all the wrapping. I believe the website is www.babyktan.com

Or a mei tai might work!?

If a one shoulder carrier is hurting, she'd probably appreciate a 2 shoulder carrier. That said, if the baby is 3 months already she may find that the Moby (or any stretch wrap) will sag and also cause back pain. It's really good for newbie babies, but once the babe is about 15 pounds the fabric starts to stretch a bit much. A woven would be a good alternative.

There are alot of two shoulder carriers out there, if there is a local babywearing group it would be nice for her to try a bunch.
