I’m hoping for some advice from some carrier experts. When DS was born two years ago, he came a little early so I hadn’t gotten around to buying a carrier for him. After a few months I purchased the Ergobaby carrier but didn’t need the newborn insert at that stage. In the end, we never used it much as DS much preferred the freedom and space of his pram bassinet or just lying on a blanket on the floor. In addition, whenever we used it, I developed pain in my neck very quickly. Neck pain is something I tend to get quite easily; I think I am particularly prone to it as I have had severe migraine all my adult life
I’m now pregnant with DC2 and thinking that a carrier would possibly be useful with a newborn and a toddler so I’m considering buying the newborn insert for the Ergobaby. But I don’t want to waste money on buying it only to find that it hurts my neck too much to use it. Does anyone have any insight into this? Was I wearing the Ergobaby incorrectly? Would a different carrier be better for me? Or is my neck just too sensitive for using a carrier?
I realise it’s difficult for strangers on the Internet to answer my questions but just thought I would put it out there to see if anyone has any advice for me.
