well, a good sling should distribute the weight evenly, and you should be able to use it without holding onto the baby with one hand.
what kind do you have? obviously, whatever kind you have isn't working for you, so that was kind of a dumb question! have you been to www.peppermint.com ? you can peruse the many different styles of slings and see if one of theirs would work better for you.
and honestly, at 10 months i had stopped using the sling. i used the hip carrier for shopping and the zoo and stuff and the trekker for exercise.
HTH.
