Buying An Ergo Baby Carrier

How Do You Feel About Your Ergo?

I love my Ergo and to me it feels like a pretty supportive carrier.

How Long Did You Use Your Ergo?

I used mine from the time my second was 4 months old until my third pregnancy when he was 21.5 months.

Where Can I Buy An Ergo Baby Carrier?

Target sells them. Mine came from Amazon for like $115-116 on sale.

Where Did You Wear Your Ergo?

I used my Ergo a lot for outings, such as park playdates, shopping, and doctor appointments.

How Much Do They Cost? (Links included).

Anywhere from $115 and up, depending on sales and what retail location you buy from. I saw on Amazon in March 2016, it has the bundle pack, newborn insert and an ergo baby for $129 on sale instead of $130, here. I received my Ergo as a baby gift from my mom with my second and then the infant insert as a baby gift from my mom from Target for $25 at the store. They also have an original Ergo on Amazon for $119, here and insert for $24, here. I am sure it depends on location for stores such as Target and Walmart, but I saw for Target online, a bundle for $135.99 for ergo and insert and a target deal $25 gift card when you spend $150 in baby / nursing purchase. I did also see online at Target original ergo carriers for $119 too like Amazon.

Where Can I Learn More About The Ergo and other baby carriers?

I recommend it to anyone interested in learning about babywearing to find or join local baby wearing groups. I tried baby wearing with my first because I received carriers that were or similar to the Evenflo Snugli. My first was overall a light baby and I remember at 4 months old trying the carrier and my back hurting literally the min I put it on and thinking it was only for preemies, newborns, and really light babies until I met my attached parenting group of moms at the end of my second pregnancy who introduced me to the wonderful world of babywearing when you learn the difference between quality baby carriers vs flimsy ones. That's where I got introduced to the Ergo, Mei Tais, Ring Slings and Woven Wraps that I tried with my second baby and ended up buying all 4. I learned that I love baby wearing with my second baby and now I am excited to reuse it with my third baby and learn even more.Two carriers highly recommended in my baby wearing groups for a soft structure is the Ergo and the Tula. I haven't tried the Tula before, but I am hoping to get one to try with this baby. The only carriers that have been No-No I've learned so far, Baby Bjorn and Evenflo Snugli, because they are not ergonomically correct for baby and they hurt the back, Moby is not good for bigger babies and the Infantino Comfort Sync Wrap just isn't that good. The newborn pocket is too large. It is also so far the only carrier where baby fussed as I tried to put it on and then cried once it was on, so I put it on and took it off, but was fine with other carriers. I liked my ring sling, I didn't like all the weight on one shoulder which became uncomfortable to me when my baby passed 6-8 months. It's not something I would wear for a long term outing with an older and / or heavier baby.

My Laparoscopy Recovery Essentials: What’s Actually Helping Me Heal

Disclaimer: Links to all the products I mentioned are included. I am not being paid to promote any of them and do not receive payments. Skin sensitivity may impact your experiences with these products. Recovering from my laparoscopy has been a journey, and honestly, some days are more uncomfortable than others. Over the past week, I’ve found a few products that have made a huge difference in how I feel—both physically and mentally. Here’s what’s been helping me get through it: 1. Body Wash That Feels Safe Before and after surgery, I wanted something gentle that still felt clean. I’ve been using Dove Antibacterial Body Wash , and it’s been perfect. It keeps the incision area clean without stinging or irritating my skin, which is such a relief. 2. Underwear That Actually Works I never thought I’d get excited about disposable underwear, but Frida Mom Disposable C-Section Underwear has been a game-changer. They’re soft, supportive, and don’t press on my stomach—exactly what ...

Implantation Dips & Raised BBT

An Implantation Dip is when your basal body temperature (BBT) dips below your cover line post ovulation, usually said to occur around 7 to 9 days pass ovulation on average and then continues to rise without falling below the cover line again. 3 to 5 days pass ovulation for implantation dips is said to be rare. Some believe implantation dips are myths, because of varying results in dips and outcomes for pregnancy. Usually it is said when your BBT stays above your cover line without dipping below the cover line, it is a sign that you're pregnant. This is just a theory, but it seems for some early implantation dips, may lead to earlier positive pregnancy tests. The exception to early implantation dips theory I have found is that some women get early positive pregnancy tests as a result of having a multiples pregnancy, some women gets dips in many of their cycles that do not result in pregnancy and some women like me don't get dips during a c...

Support for Divorced Women

There is a known formula to success for church members: praying to God, reading your scriptures, helping others, and regularly attending church. There is a power in the things you believe, that allows them to anchor, guide, help, and inspire you. Christian women, even those who are going through separation and divorce can benefit from these powerful tools. Sometimes separated and divorced women, such as I, may also need additional support for their struggles that not all members may understand or need. For example, a break from callings and receiving counseling services. But one thing that is important and needed, but often missing is support from their fellow members. This “missing” feeling of support is not due to someone being intentionally unkind. It is because of things that fall out of the ideal of society, religion, or culture like divorce, members do not speak about enough. As a Christian church, understandably we spend time talking about the Godly marriages we desire to...
