I have a tweaked shoulder and dh has a chronic back injury. The ergo worked beautifully for both of us. It really does distribute the weight perfectly. But you have to adjust it right, you really really do. We luckily had a great indie baby wearing shop and they taught us hands on with mirrors. Sometimes I see people using ethos or other structured carriers with the straps all weird or the baby slung low and it makes me ache just looking.
I still use the ergo with Sprog and she's 2.5. Dh doesn't anymore because that's too much weight on his back.
We used a sling for the first five months and I was door and didn't alternate shoulders. . That aggravated my old shoulder injury. I probably would have been fine if I alternated but I think I'll try a wrap for the next newborn, if there is one.
