Ergo and back pain

I have used the Ergo carrier four times now, and I have some back pain afterwards.  It mostly feels like muscle soreness.  Am I just getting used to wearing it, or is this a sign that I'm using it wrong?   I never wore DD1, so I'm not sure.  It feels secure and comfy when I use it.

Re: Ergo and back pain

  • Are you wearing the bottom strap around your hips? Most of the time when people say they have back pain with the ergo, it's because the bottom strap is on top of their hips, not around them.

    I did this when I first started too. It did hurt!

  • I wore it pretty low the first day but then checked out a youtube video where the lady put it around her waist, so I moved it up.  I'll try moving it back down and see if that helps.  Thanks!
