From the very beginning, Ergobaby was created around the idea of community. When Karin Frost first designed the Original carrier, she believed that raising children in a village of support was important, and a baby carrier was a helpful tool that made participation possible. Postpartum, many families are overwhelmed with the amount of support they receive early on, but suddenly when a partner returns to work, or family leaves town, they find themselves feeling very isolated. We know that Postpartum Depression is becoming increasingly common, with 1 in 7 mothers receiving a diagnosis, with many more not receiving the diagnosis and support they need. Fathers are experiencing it also, some studies saying as high as 1 in 4.
With all this in mind, Ergobaby is thrilled to announce the creation of an online support group, not just for baby carrying,
