I have two slings and I really don't understand why people love them so much (and use them all the time). From my experience, the sling puts all the weight on your one shoulder, and it hurts after a few minutes. I've tried adjusting the distribution on my shoulder, but still. I have a baby trekker that distributes the weight evenly between my shoulders and hips, and I can use it for a long time without pain.
What is so great about slinging? You can't really do things unless you have one arm supporting the baby (like washing the dishes for example). Don't get me wrong, I'd love to be able to use the sling, but I just don't understand how it's supposed to be comfortable. Does the SImply Attached carrier work (a variation of the sling)...
by the way, my baby is 10 months old.
