Plus size and busty FTM looking for feedback. LO is 9 weeks, 12 lbs and 59 cms. My husband is much slimmer than me and has successfully worn her a few times now, where she'll fuss then fall asleep during some longer walks and seems pretty comfy.

I find the carrier super comfortable for myself but so nervous that I'm somehow hurting or squishing her. We haven't left the house with me wearing her until tonight since she usually just cries and I'm not confident enough to push through. Tonight she cried but once I popped her soother in, she seemed to pass out and slept the rest of the time. My husband says that means she's probably fine and got comfortable but my anxious over-thinking brain worries that she's so uncomfortable that she passed out and slept to handle the trauma of it all. Please tell me I'm overreacting.

Looking for any feedback on fit, and possibly any reassurance that I'm not traumatizing my baby if she starts out crying then quickly passes out. Really would love to be able to wear her more confidently and more often.

Sincerely,

My FTM anxiety

Our family doctor has taken our newborn as a patient, and when we were registering her, they asked if we had the hospital discharge papers from birth to add to her file. We were given a package of documents when we were discharged from the hospital, but apart from various brochures, the only personal document we received was her Personal Health Number; there was no other medical paperwork. Were you provided physical discharge paperwork? If not, were you able to get it from another source? I assumed all the info would be tied to both of our PHNs, but that doesn't seem to be the case. We're in the Fraser Health region.
