I LOVE carrying DD in the Sutemi and the ABC I made for her in the front carry but lately its tough between us being sweaty and her wanting to grab everything. I tried the back carry with the sutemi but my back was in an extreme amount of pain w/ in 30 minutes. My DD is only 16 lbs so her weight is not the issue. I do have bad scoliosis and always hunch over when i walk`is there a way to help this and make the back carry less painful? Does anyone else have this problem?

I have scoliosis too.....pretty bad.

I like a Mei Tai because I can get it tight enough to be supportive.

Wider wrap type straps like a Frankenkozy might help, too.

I'd like to know too... I'm in the same boat, and Dd is 17lbs at 4 months! I'm taking Tylenol for the back pain daily..

I can only wear her in the front carry cause her head isn't steady enough for me to trust wearing her on my back. I think a back carry will be better for our backs than a front.

I dont have Scoliosis. But I do have Spondylothesis. Osteo Arthritis, DJD, Hurniated Disc and a pinched nerve. I am able to wear my 25 month 27# DD for HOURS with minimal discomfort.

I would suggest getting her as snug as you can. The further she is away from you the more pressure she is putting on your back. IHTH

I find the BWCC with my homemade wrap very comfortable on my back. (I've got a curve in my upper back that's painful if I don't sleep just right.) I wore her for 3 hours in a row yesterday, and was totally fine.
