The first year of a child’s life brings with it remarkable — and often awe-inspiring — changes and development. From the moment they’re born, babies are immersed in multi-sensory experiences that inspire them to observe, explore, and respond to the world around them. Here are three amazing transformations you’ll watch in Baby’s first year.
Vision developments

Born this way. At birth, a baby’s vision is limited to about 8″–10″, which happens to be the general distance between parent and child. While colour recognition isn’t yet fully developed, babies are fascinated by contrasting patterns

Expert Tips for Parents

Strolling around town, we can observe fathers and mothers alike carrying their babies and toddlers close to their body and doing so with joy and without putting too much effort into it - in most cases, either with baby slings or baby carriers. Nowadays, there are even carriers specifically designed for newborns, such as our latest addition, the Embrace. The combination of a soft and supple sling fabric with the practical features of a baby carrier allows babies to explore the world in an ergonomic, safe and completely sheltered environment. Considering the progress made and the multitude of possibilities in the field of carriers, one might ask themselves how our parents managed to "survive" in a world without baby carriers! Even more so if they lived in big cities, on the third floor of an old apartment building or if they were intent on actively moving around town

We wouldn't be Ergobaby if we weren't constantly tinkering and developing new innovative and super cool products on a regular basis. And now, yes now, it's finally time again for us to announce a brand-new……... Ergobaby!
A new Ergobaby carrier is coming and her name is: Embrace. And this is exactly how your newly born protégé should feel with this new carrier: embraced by his loved ones and by Ergobaby. The Embrace will occupy a special position in our range, because it is ideal for those of you who want to carry their little protégé from the beginning. The Embrace is made of particularly soft, slightly elastic and supple jersey material (even certified according to Oeko-Tex Standard 100), which gently envelops the newborn (3.2-11.3 kg). It therefore conveys the comfortable and intimate carrying feeling that many know and like about our Aura baby wrap - but it is quick and easy to put on like a baby carrier. A perfect hybrid of our very popular carriers.
Only the best

Nothing is more important than your new little baby. You’ll want to spend every waking moment snuggling them and ensuring they’re content and safe.
Baby Carriers allow you to keep your baby close while still being able to do things around the house, go on a walk—go about having a normal-as-possible day. For some of our Ergobaby carriers you will need to use an infant insert from birth, you can read more below about using the Easy Snug Infant Insert with your carrier.
How to Use the Easy Snug Infant Insert
Our Easy Snug Infant Insert can be used two different ways:

Summer is here and we are hoping it will stay, but if you’re anything like us, you’ll be counting down to that family holiday!
Whether your planning on playing on the beach, or splashing around in the pool with the little ones, but before you reach your destination, there’s just the small matter of getting there.
Travelling on a plane can be a real challenge for parents of young children or babies, even packing before you get on board is stressful enough without the fear of other passengers and what they might think or say when things don’t quite go to plan.
So, how do you ensure baby and you are as relaxed as possible for the flight? Check out some of these tips from our Marketing Manager, Amanda Loveday, who recently travelled with her 4 month old baby all the way to New Zealand!

Yes Yes Yes! Summer is finally here! The sun is shining, it is warm and our fingers are crossed that it will stay for a while now. In these warmer to hot temperatures, we often get asked whether it is still okay to carry baby in a carrier. Is it not too hot for baby?
Here are some quick tips on keeping cool and confident while wearing your baby in warm weather.
Thin Layers
Your carrier or baby wrap acts as at least 1 extra layer of clothing, so it’s important to keep baby lightly dressed when using a carrier. You should still have spare clothes in your luggage - just in case that british weather changes! Fabrics made of natural fibers such as bamboo or cotton are the fastest drying and are breathable, so are often recommended. Speaking of being breathable: In the summer, mesh material is naturally most suitable, because they are permeable to air and additionally provide cooler

Iman, based in London, is a mum of 3 under 5, the youngest of which is just a couple of weeks old. She works from home and her children are homeschooled, making a baby carrier useful for both those lifestyles!
Iman has practiced babywearing with the Ergobaby Original for years and will use the same carrier for her new baby, as well as the aura baby wrap for the first weeks.
Where and when did you first get your Ergo?
I got my first Ergo as a gift from my older sister who had a baby 3 months after I did, in 2013. At that point, my son was 6 months old and I found it so very useful!
How long did you end up using it?
I ended up using it until 2017 - so for 4 years straight - as my son was 18 months old when my daughter was born and I used it interchangeably between them. My children have always been lower in weight so
