can the band affect baby's position (ie: shift baby from a head down, back against belly position?

Hi. I'm not sure I bought this cause I stand up at work all day and my back started to hurt so I told my doctor and she recommended this.

I have not had this happen one time. My baby has been in the head down position for weeks now, but is constantly turning right side up, etc...whether I am wearing the band or not.

My daughter's physician advised her to purchase one with her 2nd baby. She used it with her 3rd baby also. Both pregnancies were much more comfortable for her. To my knowledge she had no complications from the belly band. I have recommended it to 2 other mommies to be. Their babies and deliveries went off without a hitch. Hope this helps.

I haven't had any problems with it. It works good to help support the extra weight around your belly.

I think they may clamp on the head to hard for a baby, also the foam is kind of firm. I wouldnt do it.

I doubt it. At 3 months, or any months, the suit is pretty "marshmallow puffy" so it restricts movement. It's a transition from swaddling, and keep babies warm.

I would think so - I feel a difference when I wear it. Maybe it could be positioned nearby so the infant wouldn't have to have it hanging around the neck?

Not that I know of. Only option is to take seat section off so the baby (when walking) can use the activity center. We are currently in the "almost too big" and "not quite walking" stage. However, my grandson is still quite interested in playing with all the various activities (I am helping him to stand as he plays). Hope this perspective helps!

you can, but if it folded and twisted it would pull on the hair and hurt the child so i suggest that you don't use those bands and go to target and get some colorful bands that are actually meant for hair. Did that help?

The Ergo Original is not designed to have the infant facing outwards - the infant should always be facing in towards your body (whether on your front or back). If you mean wearing the baby on your front (facing inwards), then yes: the insert does not need to be used for a baby that large.

Movements? Probably so, especially if you are far along and your baby is taking up a lot of room. You may even be able to hear the heartbeat! Congrats!

No. This one is for only the front. But you can have the baby face forward instead of you.

My son got a flat spot from sleeping (only at night) in the Rock n Play and only for the first 3 months. It was because he favored one side of his head and would tilt his head only one way to sleep. In a crib, gravity would cause his head to fall to the side so he would be sleeping more on his ear, which is flat anyway since it's the side of the head. The RnP is on an incline and allowed him to keep his head more upright so that caused the flat spot. He's 2.5 yrs old now and I still feel the flat spot on his head with my hand. It's not severe but definitely noticeable.

the seat change position... you can lift the whole seat with the baby and switch it around

No. Try the Ergobaby Four Position 360 Carrier to carry baby front forward facing. I found when baby was old enough to want to see around, hip wearing sufficed, and after that back wearing and he can see over or around my shoulder. Ergobaby is fantastic!

Yes, you just put it on the back of the diaper a little off to the side. I still use it on my 8 month old who sleeps mostly on his tummy.

If it is secure enough, they may prevent the head from slumping forward. However they are mainly designed to keep the neck from leaving from side to side. That may work, but I'd be a little worried about possibly blocking the mouth if they moved forward. They are pretty big for a little infants neck.

The only place that might work is where the three instruments are hanging but my guess would be that they would slip down the sides and would not help with the baby trying to reach and play with them. The microphone part might work also but again I think the links would slip down and no reaching or grabbing would be available to the baby.

I wouldn't advise doing so. You wouldn't be able to get the head support and secure strap tightening that you'd need for your newborn to be safe.

Yes it will. However it does shift unless the child holds it in place. The movement is slight.
