I will always remember my first attempt at a run after the birth of my son. He came into the world via emergency caesarean section which meant I needed to take it slowly, allowing my scar to heal. After all, it was ‘major surgery’ AND I was exhausted, overwhelmed and just getting used to being larger in the breast department! So, I waited eight weeks before attempting a walk-jog, just to test myself. And wow was it memorable?! For perhaps the first time in my life, I felt parts of my body move during exercise that I

Introducing the Ergobaby Aerloom
a First-of-it's-Kind Baby Carrier
The NEW Ergobaby Aerloom carrier is made to fit to parents’ daily lives, empowering them to live active, on-the-go lifestyles with baby, while still feeling like themselves. Through its FormaKnit fabric and streamlined design, this carrier redefines the way parents think of comfort through fit, lighter weight, and airflow.
Aerloom’s innovation is in how it’s made. Each carrier is artfully crafted from premium Formaknit Fabric, a lightweight yet durable, machine-knit fabric, made by knitting strands of yarn seamlessly into unique patterns. A true feat of engineering, Aerloom delivers unparalleled stretch, support, and breathability, allowing parents to keep baby close without extra bulk.
Formaknit is made with 87% post-consumer recycled polyester, the equivalent of about 26 water bottles (with cap) per carrier! Every Aerloom is knitted to shape and trimmed to spec, meaning less waste in the manufacturing process,

Have you tried a hip carry? This is a great option for babies over 6 months who want to see more of the world, but still cuddle in to mum or dad for comfort when they need to. It's also a great alternative to an outward facing carry.

When shopping for a baby carrier, wearing baby in a front outward facing position is a feature that a lot of parents look for. Although some babies do not enjoy being carried facing outward, many love being able to watch the world around them, exploring new sights and sounds with the comfort of you close behind.
Unlike sitting facing the world in a stroller, wearing your baby front outward facing means she is held up higher where she can see over the fence at the farm for you to point out the animals or up at conversational height on a woodland walk, able to reach out and touch the leaves.
Before you embark on your world-facing adventure, you should know the signs that mean your child is ready, how to wear baby in an optimal, front outward facing position in our Embrace, All Position 360, Aerloom or Omni carriers and when baby needs to be turned back to a parent-facing position.

Babywearing Mythbusting

Doesn't that hurt your back? They'll never learn to sleep on their own if they're always napping in a baby carrier. Why don't you just use a buggy?
Ever wondered about these things? Or have others challenged you about your baby carrying? If so, I'm here to bust some babywearing myths.
‘BABY CARRIERS HURT YOUR BACK’
A well-fitted, well-designed baby carrier that suits your body - and your baby's age and stage - shouldn't hurt your back. At all. If it does, it likely just needs some small adjustments. It's all about making sure your baby's weight is evenly distributed across your body. If your carrier is just a bit too low or too loose, your baby's weight can pull away from you, putting a strain on your back, shoulder

Spread a Little Christmas Spirit with an Ergobaby Doll Carrier this Yuletide
We are excited to announce our first ever Santa Service, bringing a little bit of festive joy to the holiday season! You can order your little love an Ergobaby Doll Carrier for Christmas and it will arrive with a special note from Santa to let them know they are firmly on the Nice List and to thank them for being so well behaved this year.
The Ergobaby Doll Carrier is the perfect way for children aged 18-months and older to join in with babywearing and show their best friend the love and comfort they had as a worn baby. It also leaves little hands free for other games or tasks, and with teddy less likely to be left behind when safely carried, hopefully means fewer tears too!
Two magical new prints have joined the range in time for Christmas: Galaxy and Enchanted, both designed to captivate and delight children of all ages.
To receive the letter from Santa, simply purchase a Doll Carrier from the ergobaby.co.uk

How Quality Baby Gear Saves the Environment and Your Wallet
Baby gear is expensive. I know that firsthand. I’m about to have another baby, and it seems like with each child that prices keep going up. I’m not a coupon clipper by any means, but I do like finding good deals and I’m not opposed to buying off-brand products or accepting hand-me-downs that are still in good condition.
While it’s good to be a savvy shopper and set a baby budget, there are some baby items you shouldn’t buy cheap.
When does it make sense to pay a little more for quality?
Flour is flour. Spices are spices. Some people may disagree with me, but the only real differences between most generic and name-brand foods are the packaging and prices of the items. So when you’re at the grocery store debating between Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes and the generic brand, you should be fine going with the latter. The box isn’t as fancy (sorry there’s no Tony the Tiger), but in this case, the cheaper product tastes the same so there’s
