You can put your baby in a carrier the day he’s born if you want, so long as he is healthy and weighs at least 7 pounds. Some parents like the more traditional stretchy baby wraps, while others prefer soft-structured baby carriers because of their ease of use and long-term use. But several soft-structured carriers require the use of an infant insert to make them usable for newborns though.
Do I need the infant insert for Ergobaby carriers?
If you have or plan on buying an Ergobaby 360 or Original baby carrier, then yes, you will also need to get an Ergobaby infant insert. The 360 and Original carriers are made for babies who are 4-48 months old and weigh 12-45 pounds. An infant insert provides the extra support needed for an infant who is younger and weighs less than that to comfortably fit in these carriers and keep each one ergonomically safe for infants.

Spending time in nature with your baby can strengthen the bond between you. The simple act of holding your baby close, feeling their warmth, and sharing new experiences together can create strong emotional connections.

As a Registered Nurse and Certified Lactation Specialist, I frequently get called for consultations. I hear lots of worries from Moms trying to soothe their infants!
Why won’t my baby feed? Is my baby in pain? What am I doing wrong?
Sometimes mothers may find their baby’s behavior puzzling or worrisome.
However, I’ve found that the majority of issues resolve when we use research-based practices and keep things consistent. Everybody knows when Mom isn’t happy, nobody’s happy! Ergobaby knows that a Mom isn’t happy if her baby isn’t! Today I want to share with you my Top 2 ‘Must-Dos’ with Ergobaby products: frequent skin-to-skin contact and proper positioning.
Frequent skin-to-skin contact
No matter what the issue and the assessment plan includes at a consultation, undoubtedly I will recommend an increase in skin-to-skin time between feedings. This practice has been studied extensively and the benefits are astounding. Skin-to-skin contact can help regulate an infant’s

Breastfeeding on the go is a LIFE-CHANGER. Mama, you will feel like a super-hero once you master nursing in the carrier...hiking, shopping, attending concerts...all while nursing baby! You go, mama!
Important tip! While nursing in a baby carrier is safe and convenient, to keep your baby safe it’s important to reposition your baby to their original carrying position when you finish nursing. Lift baby back up so their head is close enough to kiss and their airways are visible. Readjust your straps so that they are tightened and support both your body and your baby’s.

Nature is a sensory wonderland for babies. The different sights, sounds, and smells can stimulate your baby’s senses and promote cognitive development. Watching leaves rustle, hearing birds chirp, and feeling

In honor of World Breastfeeding Week, National Breastfeeding Month and Black Breastfeeding Week, we reached out to our community to get breastfeeding tips. There are many amazing resources and support communities out there (both online and in person), and we invite you to get the support you need. In addition, we wanted to share some tips and advice from moms in our community. Baby carriers help the modern-day parent attend to their child’s needs while still getting on with their day. That’s why babywearing and breastfeeding often go hand-in-hand. It’s the ultimate convenience–feeding on the go! Help us celebrate World Breastfeeding Week (August 1-7, 2015 #WBW2015), National Breastfeeding Month (August #NBM15) and Black Breastfeeding Week (August 25-31, 2015 #BBW15) by showing your support. Please feel free to share any #ergobabynursing and #breastfeeding photos, either with the carrier or the Natural Curve Nursing Pillow; stories or advice

Breastfeeding a baby is hard work. With all the unrealistic portrayals of breastfeeding in the media and in parenting books, many new moms find themselves completely unprepared for the sheer quantity of time it takes to feed these little babies. For breastfeeding to work, those first few weeks (er… months) it really starts to feel like all you are doing is feeding the baby. Many mothers begin to feel overwhelmed. I remember firsthand, that my little Dragon Baby was a particularly enthusiastic nurser. I didn’t leave the house for weeks on end…. I couldn’t find time between feedings.
When I finally figured out how to nurse in an Ergobaby carrier, I felt like a breastfeeding master. It was so discreet, nobody even knew what I was doing. I’d be walking the aisles at Costco sipping on some soda, baby strapped to my boobs… no one batted an eye. People would come poke their head into my carrier and then yell out startled “Oh! I didn’t know you were doing that!” You're welcome for the show. Nobody
