So before L was born, I wasn't on HB a lot and just took the advice from my sister and friend on baby gear. One thing I didn't research at all and just took their word for was the Baby Bjorn carrier. I bought it and have been using it for about 4 months now and my baby LOVES being in it. I've called it the "magical cure". It's easy to use, it always calms him, he has napped in it, etc.... And I don't find it uncomfortable. Sure, after a couple of hours, my lower back would get tired/sore, but I thought that was normal because I had this extra load (baby) on me.

But all over HB, I feel like all I read about is the Ergo, the Moby, and a few others. Never the Bjorn. And I've seen some comments saying the Bjorn is potentially bad for the baby? Can someone explain this to me? Should I be looking for a new carrier? And are these others carriers made so you can wear for hours without any discomfort despite the extra "load"?

Another issue I have with the Bjorn is that I can only sit down once he is asleep, but L is like even without the carrier....I always have to stand if I am holding him, so I didn't think it was related to the carrier.....not I am not sure.
