Charlie is heavy enough that I've started cutting back on carrying him... but I still carry him if we have to get somewhere in a hurry!
How often do you carry your LO? And how is your back holding up haha!

Ugh, I am wondering if I need physical therapy. I am in pain! I also carry if I'm in a hurry. Especially in the mornings when it is a mad dash to get her ready for day care.

My back and hips are all messed up. Since LO is still so young, I carry her a LOT. Last month I went to get a massage and they masseuse was like, "Your hips are REALLY stiff...What are you doing?" I said, "I had a baby." She said, "Oh."

DS is almost 4 now, and I'm pregnant, so i don't carry him! I was carrying him once in a while for short walks until I got pregnant. When he was younger, I carried him all the time. I broke my back in high school though, so i have to be careful with how much I carry kids.

@Rubies: my massage therapist told me that I have to start alternating the hip I carry my lo on because she can tell it's always my left.
My lo can't walk yet so she's always carried. And she's heavy - 95 percentile.

@artbee: DS is huge for his age too. I carry him a lot, but have to switch hips a lot. I was carrying him through the mall a few weeks ago and I was so tired/after. I love my Boba carrier and our strolled now that he's bigger.
-
I carry my LO around a lot. I love holding her! My arms are getting really toned. wOot
-
All the time since she can't walk. She's smaller, surprising to me since she was 8lbs at birth and only 13lbs 5oz now at 4 months! I thought she was gonna be huge.LOL
-
Our little one (and I do mean little) is only 21 lbs at 20 months, so we're still fine with carrying her... but she doesn't want to be carried any more, so we try to give her as much independence as possible.
-
@mamadopt: Aww how cute, she's so petite! Our son is a beefy 24lbs at 9 months!
Needless to say, I still have to carry him pretty often since it's not like he can climb into his own car seat or anything. I already feel like there will be some back problems down the road because of it.
-
@Boogs: OMG, he's so big!!! One of our really good friends is my height and her son (same age as our daughter) is 35 lbs! I do NOT know how she does it... seriously!
-
@mamadopt: He is, it really shocks people usually. The funny thing is that he hardly eats solids, too. He's just not a fan, even though by the looks of him people would think he eats a ton, lol.

I feel bad for my friend's son when he throws a tantrum or something because everyone thinks he's at least 3, when he's really less than 2.
