But I can't imagine doing this a year from now, when she's 18 months old? Sheer size alone makes my back hurt thinking of it.... I have to say, my cutoff would be a little before the year mark, at least around the house.
Just curious. I think I fall somewhere in between. I believe that there is a time for snuggle-type comforting, and a time for verbal-reassurance-type comforting.
I am a really small person- like not quite a 100lbs- when kids get to big to go on my hip- I toss them on my back- ergos are great- as are kindercarries, mei tais etc half of the battle is finding a carrier that fits you!
