FTM to a boy, this is likely a silly question, looking for reassurance
Hi there, I'm a first time mom, I have a 6 month baby boy who is very high needs and clingy, I can't get anything done around the house and my arms and back are very tired.
I have only used the classic baby wrap and an Ergo baby Carrier (I don't remember the exact model, it was a used one gifted by a friend). I don't love how much I have to fiddle with the wrap and the ergo carrier makes him go to sleep when I don't want him to (trying to establish a better nap and sleep schedule).
So I bought the Qookie Go hip carrier, now here comes my embarrassing concerns. I'm worried about the positioning of my baby's crotch. There seems to be a lot of pressure in that area for him, like it's taking the majority of the weight. I don't know if I'm not wearing it right, but I followed the fitting instructions and it looks just like the ad photo. He seems to be happy and not in discomfort when he's in the carrier. I haven't used it much, I just received it in the mail.
For longer wear, will it hurt or negatively affect boys?
I'm looking into cloth diapering, has anyone experienced leaking issues with cloth diapers due to compression since so much pressure goes there?
Thank you in advance.
