My pouch sling hurts my shoulder...could it be...

Because I'm not wearing it right?
It's the wrong size?
I have weak/bad shoulders?
I wondered if my sling was a bit too big. I wore it out today with LO for about half an hour while I ran some errands at the mall. I still think perhaps it's a little big.
My shoulder (the one taking the weight) started to ache. Is this a size issue?
I don't really want to pursue getting a smaller size if it's something I might not use much because it doesn't suit my body.
Thoughts?

With your LO being so young, I'm thinking it's sizing. Wear does your LO "hit" when you're wearing it? Like is his bum above or below your belly button?
One shoulder carries do put more pressure on your shoulder, but you should be able to wear him for 1/2 hour w/ no problems. Ari is about 19-20 pounds & I can wear him in my ring sling for about 2 hours before it starts getting uncomfortable, & I have tons of back/shoulder/neck problems.
