Ergo Baby Carrier - Breastfeeding? Will the Ergo carrier allow me to do this?

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.

Just like my grown-up sized Ergo, this has a buckle for the waist and one on the back, between the shoulder blades. I guess that buckle that goes between the shoulder blades would be a chest strap if you wore the carrier backwards, but technically, you're not supposed to wear the Ergo that way. Of course, if you're carrying a babydoll, obviously this doesn't matter!

It's quite a bit wider than a ergo carrier. I carry my 28 pound 2 year old in it.

They have a kit to do this - it's awesome. I think this is it: Playtex One-Step Breast Milk Storage Kit (Discontinued by Manufacturer)There is also an adapter to pump directly into the bags.

No it doesn't! I have the Ergo and that does which is why I don't like it. But this one it is really easy to put baby in. You slip it over yourself first and then put baby in, it has two straps on one side, an upper and a lower which you can undo easily yourself.

If you want dad to be able to feed too, i suggest medela calma. I bought and use both Philips Avent Natural and Medela Calma and i find that Medela Calma system is closer to mother's breast.

I am not sure what would work best for that particular brand, however I purchased mine for a Graco carrier. My daughter was a preemie and needed more support than her carrier provided. We have yet to try it out in a stroller since she's still too small.Side note: I would not recommend using this product in warm weather unless baby can move about freely. It's very warming!

Depends if your summer is 65-75 degrees than I think it's fine. We used it year round in San Fran and it was perfect better for grocery shopping . We also have the ergo for longer outings. Baby bjorn gets hard on your shoulders as baby gains weight , ergo more comfy but baby loves being frontwards in bjorn. That's why we bought both!

You can get the "bundle of joy collection ergobaby 360", this one will include the infant insert.

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!

This would work great! It's seriously the most versatile carrier we have tried. I'm 5ft and my hubby is almost 6ft. We both use it fine. It's got a good wide bottom so it supports the baby properly instead of letting them dangle. Our son loves it and he's 15 months old and still has room to grow in it.

Our baby did not have an issue with latching, the problem was with the Chicco bottles. He got lazy from those bottles because he did not have to suck hard to get the formula/breast milk, so he did not want to nurse. Once we switched the the Medela nipple, that issue went away. They have to build up a vacuum in order to get the milk to flow through the nipple, mimicking the nursing process. They are expensive, but well worth it.

It's my understanding that this product is similar to the Ergo, but I don't have one of those do I can't say for sure. It's pretty different than the Moby Wrap, though. The baby sits differently and there are fewer options for using it. I find the Moby Go provides better (more comfortable) support for baby's legs than the wrap. What does your baby dislike about the other carriers?

Go with Ergo or Boba. It will be more comfortable for both baby and wearer. Those two are very adjustable and also have extenders for bigger wearers.

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!

You'll have to search for the specific accessories. They have some for particular brands (graco, chicco, etc), and then also a universal adapter. I never used it with a infant carrier, but they list the compatible seats in the details for the respective accessories.

After reading the 1 star rating review, someone tried to use it with the Ergo and I guess it isnt meant for that stroller. There was a reply to the negative rating and they said that there is a different product made to fit the Ergo. Hope that helps!
