Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Baby Bjorn - my back kills me - anyone else?

If I wear the Baby Bjorn for longer than 15 minutes, my back starts hurting! Anyone else? I'm so disappointed, I really wanted to "wear" my baby for longer stretches...

  • I can't wear any sort of front pack without killing my back.  The Moby has been my saving grace.  I can wear him for hours in it.

  • Mine did until I adjusted the back cross section to fit lower between my shoulder blades.  Now it fits better.

    I am still going to make a Moby though... I just need to buy the fabric.

  • Throw that Bjorn POS away and get a Moby.  My Moby is so comfortable and never hurts my back.
  • It never worked that well for me but did DH. I'm small and he's 6 feet. I could use it a bit but not for long periods.
  • Yes! I ended up getting the ergo- its expensive but awesome and all pressure is on your hips not back

  • I don't have the Bjorn,but I do have a front/back carrier. My carrier hurt my back really badly as well until I realized that all my core muscles are out of shape from being pregnant. I just started working on tightening my stomach and back muscles when I wear it and it never bothers me anymore, I can wear her for an hour or more with no problems. Plus, those core muscles need to be built up again anyway.
