Back comfort

I currently have a 2wk old and am wearing her with an ergo baby embrace. I’m following TICKS and she feels secure on me.

My issue is baby wearing seems to put a decent amount of pressure on my mid-to-upper back, right around where my bra band sits and a bit above. I’m also very heavy chested (even more so currently with breastfeeding) and I’ve always had some issues with tightness in that area because of that.

Any suggestions or recommendations on how I should be situating myself to be able to baby wear pain free?

I specifically got an Osprey carrier for when she’s older/when I hike as it has a more supportive waist band for the person wearing the baby- similar to how hiking packs redistribute weight
