Rosie’s top baby carrier for mums
The Ergobaby Four Position 360 Baby Carrier
In our experience, no other baby carrier on the market can compete with the Ergobaby in terms of comfort.
Our Ergobaby Four Position 360 is insanely comfortable and is easily their most versatile model yet, allowing you to carry your baby in four different positions (depending on which works best for you). It also comes with a supportive wide waistband and padded shoulder straps that evenly distribute your baby’s weight to provide maximum comfort for parents. A real godsend, let me tell you.
And babies seriously love it too! Literally the minute we put Teddy in our Ergo, he falls asleep, thanks to the carrier’s cushioned head and neck support and super soft cotton fabric.
What’s more, it comes with a tuck-away baby hood that provides both sun protection and support for your baby’s head while it’s sleeping…a great feature! Plus for tiny babies, like our Teddy, you can also buy a special infant insert, so that the
Sleep for Longer with the New Swaddler + Sleeping Bag Set, so say's mum Adeline.
Adeline, Mum of Lexi (11 weeks) has been testing out the NEW Ergobaby Swaddler + Sleeping Bag Set. Read below to find out how they got on :
Little Lexi using the Elephant Swaddler + Sleeping Bag Set''Ergo have not only made a beautiful product with cute designs, but have also combined two sleep products into one for ease and longevity! So many baby items have a short shelf life but by having a swaddle separate to a sleeping bag means that this product adapts as your child grows older.
The swaddle part is extremely easy to use, with allocated slots for the arms to make it easy to wrap and not battle against those flailing arms! Any beginner would find this easy! As my daughter had been swaddled for 6 weeks before I started using this product, she preferred her arms by her side rather than on her chest, so I didn't need to use this feature but could easily still wrap her in the way she was used to.

‘Once the product is on, it was by far the best of wearing for long periods, the structure gives you the support you need to wear your child for a long time. The quality is also particularly good.’ – Mum: Joanne Hardy
But the Gold award was not the only award for Ergobaby. Our Lightweight Swaddler also won Bronze for the "Best Newborn Product".
We love what tester mum Keisha Drakes had to say:

As a prenatal nutritionist, I felt confident about my knowledge of what to eat during my first pregnancy and excited to put it into practice to nourish my growing babe. I was much less confident when it came to what I ‘should and shouldn’t be doing’ physically though. I spent my fair share of time on Dr.Google, reading different things about heart rate limitations, lying on my back, inversions and other restrictions put on pregnant women. Just like the nutritional advice found on the internet, the contradictory advice only confused me further.
Turning to a trusted source, I asked one of my favorite fitness instructors who is thoroughly trained in prenatal fitness. She gave me the best advice I could have received: just listen to your body. It was exactly what I needed to hear and it made so much sense, because it’s the exact same approach I take with nutrition. I understood clearly that my body would tell me my limitations much better than Google would.
I really believe that a woman’s intuition

Some of us, however, have a baby who cries too frequently or too long and who is difficult to soothe despite all of our best efforts. As parents, we are designed to react strongly to our baby’s crying. We instinctively know that when babies cry, it means something is wrong with the baby that needs to be addressed. Being unable to find the root cause of the crying can create doubts of our parenting skills and create tremendous stress and frustration. A baby’s prolonged and incessant crying can unfortunately even lead some parents to perceive the baby’s crying to be manipulative and in the worst cases this belief can lead to violent outbursts from the parents. Shaken Baby Syndrome, a potential result from such outbursts, can tragically cause irreparable damage to the baby’s brain1.
In the Western world, we live in a culture that highly values independence. Some parents expect newborns to begin learning to be independent from the very moment they are born. To this end, as parents we
Babywearing YogaSometimes we all need a bit of inspiration after those dull Winter days. Yoga & Babywearing Yoga can be a great way for you and your little one to bond, and start the day.
I know Lady P & I love it, we call it "Yoga-bunny time!" She can even roll the mat out herself now. The Yoga mat that I've shown is the one we use, its large enough for your little one to also have the space to explore their own moves.
Of course, a fab & cool outfit can help Mummy's Yoga moves and is highly essential ;)

December Babywearing Fashion by Sadie MarieI love this cute carrier design, the dots reminded me of snow! perfect to start feeling festive ;) Winter months are always a battle of what to wear, especially when you're wearing a little one! You don't want to be too cold, but you don't want to over heat and have to start stripping clothing mid adventure!
Always my rule when baby wearing "Keep it simple & classic" you can never go to wrong. That's why I chose a cute classic knit, smartened with a simple straight-cut jacket. I find living in Scotland Ugg boots are a must come winter, they work for a country walk or a city shopping trip!
Happy Winter Baby-Wearing Everyone!
The growing popularity of babywearing in our modern society makes more parents aware of an amazing tool to meet their children’s need to be close to them while keeping up with a busy schedule. Very young babies feel most secure when they in their parents’ arms, where food and warmth are readily available. A toddler can be kept safe from vehicles or other dangers in public, and receive the reassurance that a loving caregiver provides when they become overstimulated. As with any tool, there are guidelines to make its use as safe as possible.
Babywearing safety begins with choosing the right carrier. There are many choices in modern baby carriers, to fit every budget and style. Make sure the carrier you choose is appropriate for the age of your baby. Is your child within the stated weight guidelines? Is there an insert necessary for a newborn? Be sure to read the manufacturer’s directions and consult an educator or babywearing group if you need further instructions. Shop at reputable dealers
