Does constant babywearing cause back pain or change in posture?

Babywearing should not cause back pain and change in posture with an ergonomic carrier that is suitable for you if there is no underlying medical condition. Make sure that your body is conditioned for the extra load too. In some cases, some wearers would compensate the extra weight by bending backwards, similar to how some of the pregnant ladies walk. When using an ergonomic carrier such as soft structured carriers, ring slings or woven wraps just to name a few, you should maintain a good posture. Babywearing during pregnancy (with no complications) would even help to maintain a good posture. I am still carrying my 3yo and 5yo. If you think the backaches are caused by your carrier, check with your retailer again to see if you are wearing it correctly or approach any of the babywearing consultants.
