But I can't stop holding my lo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hurt-from-carrying-your-lo-so-much#post-41121 Sat, 24 Dec 2011 12:02:58 +0000 Andrea 41121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my right arm is in constant pain and I think it's a combo of carrying my LO and using the computer too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hurt-from-carrying-your-lo-so-much#post-41120 Sat, 24 Dec 2011 11:57:27 +0000 Rubies 41120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had/have severe tendonitis in my hands, wrists and forearms from holding LO so much when she was little-little. Now that she's bigger and I hold her less, it's gotten better but sometimes my wrists still "lock" for a few seconds. OUCH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hurt-from-carrying-your-lo-so-much#post-40999 Sat, 24 Dec 2011 00:57:56 +0000 Rosie Girl 40999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! My back hurts all the time. I can hardly carry him around anymore (he is like 36 lbs!).</p> <p>I should add that DS is almost 4! He pretty much walks everywhere himself! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hurt-from-carrying-your-lo-so-much#post-40984 Sat, 24 Dec 2011 00:03:08 +0000 BoogieBea 40984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We encounter the same thing when we go on walks with our son. We have a framed back carrier that we use for hiking/camping, so my husband uses that sometimes. But he mostly just carries him over his shoulders as well - sometimes he does complain about back issues when carrying him for long periods. I actually find that doing a hip carry with a sling on an older kid pretty comfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hurt-from-carrying-your-lo-so-much#post-40982 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 23:44:16 +0000 amy 40982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: does 20 months count, if so I still wear my LO in my ergo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hurt-from-carrying-your-lo-so-much#post-40945 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 21:46:39 +0000 tequiero21 40945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't have LOs yet, but my back is hurting them from holding them in my belly! starting to hurt more and more now. =T </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hurt-from-carrying-your-lo-so-much#post-40940 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 21:22:24 +0000 chopsuey 40940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I know people who carry a 2 yr old around! We'll probably use the Ergo for as long as we can too. DH loves carrying LO around in it.<br /> It doesn't look as funny if you use it to carry your older child on your back :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hurt-from-carrying-your-lo-so-much#post-40938 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 21:20:07 +0000 mrbee 40938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Do people carry two year olds around? I haven't seen that one too much around these parts... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hurt-from-carrying-your-lo-so-much#post-40935 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 21:17:58 +0000 chopsuey 40935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO's still relatively light so I haven't gotten hurt yet. My arms are actually getting nicely toned from holding her so much ;) </p> <p>Have you tried a carrier? I know Ergo's weight limit is 40lbs. You can back carry too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-get-hurt-from-carrying-your-lo-so-much#post-40933 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 21:15:25 +0000 mrbee 40933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My back muscles started to twinge this morning when I was lifting Charlie to get into a cab on the way to the doctor. I've been in a lot of pain today, and am hoping it goes away soon.</p> <p>I carry Charlie a lot, because I don't like using a stroller and sometimes he just walks too slowly for us to be able to get anywhere in a reasonable amount of time. I guess that strategy will need a rethink!</p> <p>Do you ever get hurt from carrying your LO around? Or do you stick to strollers and carseats, and so this isn't an issue for you... </p>
