I have a Didymos wrap and can do a front carry no problem. I learned how to do it by watching Youtube videos. So when something went in my back, I thought a back carry would be better because it would be less painful.
So i go onto Youtube. and watch the videos, with all the different methods for getting your baby on your back. The thing is, all the babies in the videos are co-operative, still, not wriggling - unlike my wriggling monster of death, who arches her back and screams every time I try and get her on my back. Not quite the beautiful arc that the babies in the videos are performing, sitting up high on their mother's back as if they were born there. They probably were.
The thing is, all the mums in the videos look unbearably smug. I want to slap them. All of them. Smug fucking bitches.
Warning: I may be slightly unreasonable due to being in extreme pain. But none of you are allowed to say so.
