My 28 mths old lo just wouldnt want to walk on her own when we are out and also wouldnt want to sit in a pram. Im so so so tired to carry her as she is ard 14kg! She starts to make a scene, cry and shout when i put her down. Tried using carrier but i think she is just too heavy to be in it and i feel so uncomfortable with sore shoulders. What should i do?

This is the way I did it with my elder one. He too didn't want to walk on his own and he is too heavy for me to carry, I told him that if he do not want to walk on his own or sit in the stroller, we are not going out or we will not bring him out. Slowly he started to walk on his own as he knows that if he doesn't, he don't get to go out. If this doesn't work, you can consider getting a soft structured carrier or wraps to do back carry. It will be of lesser strain to your shoulders. Do note that your child is 28 months, she may need a toddler carrier instead of a standard/baby one. Toddler carrier have more support compared to standard/baby ones.
