As a child, do you remember your aunts and grandmothers lovingly pinching your cheeks and saying "wow, you are gowning up so fast." every time you saw them? At the time you may have thought it was funny or sometimes rather annoying. Have you considered the number of times others have said the same to your child?
We may catch ourselves thinking the same thing or even hear the words coming out of our mouths when we haven't seen our friends' children for a while.
During the first years of life, humans develop faster than at any other time of their lives. In the first four years, half of our entire evolution takes place.
Every childs' development is individual
Child development is parallel and grows in the same order. However, every child is unique when it comes to what age they go through each developmental milestone. Every child develops at their own pace. For example motor development. One child can walk at 12 months, whilst another at one and a half years old. The same applies to the first

Have you heard of our Ergobaby Aerloom Baby Carrier before? If not, it's definitely time you did. Because with this premium baby carrier, our product developers and designers have literally outdone themselves. As the first baby carrier of it’s kind like this on the market, the feather-light Aerloom uses special manufacturing techniques that weave it in one piece while making it breathable, allowing it to individually mould to each body of wearer and carrier.
What parents want: A super lightweight, space-saving, custom fit baby carrier

Here at Ergobaby we know exactly what it’s like when you’re just finding your parenting groove, you’ve figured out which products do and don’t work for your family and suddenly the topic of weaning / offering your baby complementary foods starts to crop up and there’s a whole new world of “stuff” you need to consider.
How do you know which is the best high chair on the market?
Or, more importantly, how do you know which is the best high chair for you and your family’s needs? Don’t worry, we’ve got you! We’re sharing our top five things to look out for when choosing the right high chair for you and your little one/s.
Does the high chair grow with baby?
If this is your first foray into the world of high chairs then the first thing you might be wondering is “when can babies sit in a high chair”? Most babies can sit unaided / start to be ready for solid food around 6 months old so you’ll want a high chair that will keep them safe and secure from this age and will last you for years to come.

Breast/chest feeding is known to be the best way to give your baby everything they need for healthy development and to build a strong immune system.
At the same time, it strengthens your parent-child bond and is a unique moment that only you can experience together. Magical!
What are the benefits of a Nursing Pillow?
A nursing pillow can help you to ensure that breast/chest feeding works optimally, especially at the beginning of your breast/chest feeding relationship. It supports you in positioning your baby optimally on the breast/chest, making it as comfortable as possible for both of you.
During the first few weeks of your child's life, your daily routine may look something like this:
You will sit and breast/chest feed... change nappies..., breast/chest feed... go for a walk, breast/chest feed, change nappies... and repeat this every day. In total, you breast/chest feed for about 8 hours a day.
Your nursing pillow should therefore be ergonomic, comfortable and supportive on your back.

The new year has begun and naturally you may be thinking about what you want to achieve this year in terms of resolutions. Many of us have two main goals on our list: exercise, and healthy food choices.
Being physically active can support you in reducing the natural weight gained during pregnancy, develop brain health, reduce risk of disease, improve bone, and muscle quality and enhance your ability to do everyday activities. This is important as your little one begins to grow, becoming heavier and stronger, you will need the strength and energy to keep up with them.
Finding time to exercise can be challenging especially at the start of your parenting journey. When you are feeling tired, being active may seem like the last thing you want to do. Regular activity can relax you, keep you fit and help you feel more energetic. It can also help your body recover after childbirth and may help prevent postnatal depression.

"Baby carriers hurt my back", "Your baby will never learn to sleep on their own if they always sleep in a baby carrier". "Too much carrying is bad for baby".
You may have already heard these statements or similar prejudices about baby carriers. We would like to take the time to explain why it is possible to use a baby carrier without getting back pain and why you don't have to worry that your child will be clingy the rest of their lives.
Reality check on the most common myths:
"There is no such thing as a baby carrier without back pain"
If your baby carrier is causing you back pain, it's probably because it is not fitting properly.
An ergonomic baby carrier that fits your body and your child's age should not hurt your back. Ergobaby baby carriers have been awarded the seal of approval by the Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V. association for being back-friendly.
If you are experiencing back pain, you may need to make a few adjustments to your carrier to distribute your baby's weight more evenly.

When you're expecting a baby, you may begin to look at your home with very different eyes. Having a baby at home who can crawl into the kitchen and open cabinets full of toxic chemicals might seem like a lifetime away, but any parent will tell you it's not. Babies become mobile practically overnight, and it's easier to prepare now than when you're sleep-deprived later.
Preparing your home to become a safe environment will save you time and reassure you once your little one arrives. Don't just rearrange randomly, but rather have plans for what baby items will be purchased and where they'll be placed. For instance, if you'll be setting up a nursery in your bedroom, create more space there than in other rooms. Not all items may need to be discarded. Some may only need to be safely stored until they're needed.
A baby bouncer is an essential baby item, so today we take a closer look at the safety in bouncers.
