Back pain from carrying LO. Light at the end of the tunnel!

I've been getting low back pain from carrying DD for as little as 10 minutes. The pain would last for days afterward, so I decided to go to the doc. Well good thing. I asked if it would help at all to carry on my back, if it would make a difference, and he said absolutely. So I asked for a prescription for a baby carrier. He did so, and said it was worth a shot to try and get it covered. My insurance won't cover it because it's not in the list of durable medical equipment, but my FSA will!! SCORE!!! I just need the proper code on the script, and they will cover it. I am so excited, I can finally get the carrier I want and do back carry.

    Awesome!  I can't carry my LO very long.  He is just so heavy!  He is 27 lbs and not walking on his own yet.

    Yay!I love my carriers :nbsp; I can't carry her for long at all without one, but give me a Tula or my wrapconversion SSC and I can wear her for hours. Or an hourish in the ring sling on my hip.nbsp;


    What wrap conversion do you have?? Can you back carry??

    Yay!

    I love my carriers :-)  I can't carry her for long at all without one, but give me a Tula or my wrap-conversion SSC and I can wear her for hours. Or an hourish in the ring sling on my hip. 

    I looked at the Tula, but I want to be able to cross the straps when I front carry. I'm comparing the KinderPack and the Action Baby Carrier right now.
