Ergo Baby Carrier - Breastfeeding? Will the Ergo carrier allow me to do this?
277882
My son is 2 months old and successfully nurses while in our Ergo. The shoulder straps loosen quite a bit so that your baby can sit lower in order to reach the breast. You can buy sling type carriers that put the baby in a more natural position for nursing but I always found that I still had to hold baby up to the breast because I couldn't get the carrier to adjust perfectly. In the Ergo my son can nurse completely hands free. I have heard that the Moby wraps are good for nursing in but I've never had one. I love my Ergo. It's by far the most comfortable carrier I have ever owned and it can hold up to 35 lbs so we will get a few years out it.

This carrier is for DOLLS, not for living babies. It fits 15-18 inch dolls only and although it is designed very similarly to the mommy size one for a real baby it is not authorized or safe for living babies, it is only designed for toys. As for the weight limit of the child WEARING the doll carrier, we have one and my daughter began using at at her 3rd birthday and still wears her dolls in this carrier and has just turned 6. If waist measurement is an issue, I would say that it is pretty expandable and that given its straps and buckles a pretty hefty child could still wear this to carry their doll. The Ergo Baby carriers for baby that a mom would wear usually cost $100 or more. Hope this helps!

i don't know. The infant insert(made to be used with the ergo) accommodates a baby as small as 4 lbs. You can not put a small baby in the ergo without the insert!

No it doesnt. Beware do not buy this product from dahive on amazon they are selling fraud ergobaby carriers. make sure you call ergobaby and see if the seller is registered with them to sell their product. Lame huh?

Yes. It's possible. I use it all the time in that position with my baby. But he is 11 months old now. Not sure if you can do that with a newborn who needs a carrier.

I have twins. I strongly recommend the Graco Snugride 30 Infant Carrier until they are at least six months. You will not want to wake sleeping babies when you get home! And the infant support on the Combi pushes small babies heads forward, which is not good for NICU babies. I speak from experience...I have twins, one was in NICU, and used to foster newborns. I have never had a baby under ten pounds that fit well in this. Three across would be hard to buckle, unless you can reach through the trunk or over the top from the front seat. The buckle pieces have to be overlapped to snap in together at the crotch. That being said, we love this seat for small spaces! My first born used this seat in our sports car for several years. Very light weight and convenient. Can be a pain to install rear facing, if you don't have a tether point. If you buy these, you will want to go to a car seat installation station (check with your hospital). Also, I'll warn you that your babies will likely outgrow these seats by height before they are old enough to use a booster. I ended up buying Britax Boulevards for mine. They have higher quality fabric that is way easier to wipe to clean (you do not want to have to remove the covers when they poop through their clothes or spit up). They also work fine for tiny babies, if you absolutely don't want to purchase infant carriers. Three across all rear facing, all forward facing, and any combination of rear/forward works fine with Britax in our GMC Terrain. Combis are slightly narrower and take up less front to back space, so if you're driving a tiny car, these are for you! If you have a retailer near you, most baby stores will let you take them to the car to try them out. I got a great deal on my Graco carriers at Kohls w/cashback and 30% off. Amazon does occasionally have great deals in the open box section, too. (My other must purchase items for multiples are an Ergobaby Backpack and Podee Feeding System) Congratulations! It will get easier around six months!

Yes! TSA actually encourages you to leave your baby on when you go through security. Ergo baby has been a traveling lifesaver. It's super easy to use and my baby is comfortable in it.

My son is 29.6 lbs and in the 88th percentile for height for his age (2 in Feb). He can put his arms over the straps and he is comfortable if he does so. He also sometimes tucks his arms by his stomach and just leans his head forward to sleep. I did not have an ergo though so I really can't compare. I do absolutely love this carrier though. I carry him around the grocery store and such but we worked up to that. I think my back would kill me otherwise, even though it does distribute weight evenly.

Before I had these pads my son would suck, chew then spit up on the Ergo strap so I think it's one in the same. I thought it be nicer if I didn't have to clean the Ergo carrier as often. As for the way Ergobaby is typed I'm not sure. I'd assume they are the same, because I don't think you can make a knock off using the same letters.

It isn't meant for you to breastfeed in. It is just a carrier. It's a comfortable way to carry your baby hands-free.

Yes, your daughter would fit. The Ergo Baby Carrier Original holds children up to 40 pounds. The neck support on the Ergo carriers is, by my standards, not as good as it is on some other wearers, but the Ergo has a sun hood that snaps over baby's head. When baby needs more neck support while sleeping, the hood works fine. My daughter is 3 years old and 35 pounds, and still fits comfortably in an Ergo.

Yes, completely. Previously the BabyBjorn didn't have the ergonomic waist belt, which made for a killer backache. This model has excellent back support, introducing all the comfort and convenience you can find from different carriers, but with more options and versatility. I just got this after having had the Ergo carrier for the last nine months, and only now am I realizing just how much me and my baby hated the Ergo. I highly recommend this carrier.

You can't. I wish you could. But for my 19lb 4 month old who can't sit on her own and HATES the carrier because she is smooshed.. this is a lifesaver!

I would definitely recommend as my baby is exclusively breast fed and she could easily use this one , she is still using it! She is 1 y o now�

I have this carrier. I did not use this particular one for my baby as a newborn. I had a smaller one I used for him. It is geared towards smaller babies. I used this carrier as he got older, around 6 months.

In my opinion, yes. Most stores that carry these have a sample ergo available for trying on with your baby/toddler. That's never a bad idea, to make sure it's a good match for your family.
