A Million Moments: #inmyergo turns into #ergomoments
Did you know that every day, around 360,000 babies are born all over the world? That means every hour, tens of thousands of new moms and dads become part of a huge global parenting community. They are all suddenly parents and experience the same big and small miracles, challenges and uncertainties all over the world at any time of the day. No matter the circumstances, their culture or habits, they are all united by parenthood.
We at Ergobaby get to be a part of it. We get to experience and shape the millions of moments that make up your life as a parent. Some are challenging, some are wonderful, some are filled with worry and anxiety, others are so full of love and contentment. From baby carriers to swaddlers and Metro strollers, our Ergobaby products help support families around the world in these situations, ultimately making everyday life with a baby easier.
And that's exactly why we went for a new slogan: 'A Million Moments.

International Women's Day 2021
#ChooseToChallenge #IWD2021
The theme of this year’s International Women’s Day is Choose to Challenge. “A challenged world is an alert world and from challenge comes change. So, let's all choose to challenge.” We asked our Ergobaby team to share some ways in which they’re going to challenge themselves and challenge the world around us to create inclusive, safe spaces for all the women we know. We want to celebrate the million moments that make up our lives and the people that make those moments worth celebrating!
So today, our blog stage belongs to these wonderful women from our Ergobaby team across Germany, France, the UK and Poland and their #ChooseToChallenge pledges.
I want to challenge myself to always fight for my worth
My challenge is to make sure I get equal pay and the career opportunities I deserve. In the UK, for example, unequal pay is a workplace issue for 51% of working women. A male graduate has earned up to 20% more than his similarly

100 Great Walks with Kids
By Jen & Sim Benson
Getting out and exploring beautiful, wild places has always been an important part of life for us. We met through our mutual love for the outdoors, and spent our pre-child days running, climbing, mountain biking and adventure racing together.
When our kids arrived, we wanted to carry on having adventures but needed to adapt, finding different ways of doing things that worked well for all four of us. We tried using a buggy on a few occasions, but quickly found it didn’t suit us, or the places we wanted to explore.
When we started using Ergobaby carriers it really gave us our freedom back. With our children held close to us, we could walk comfortably and safely over rough terrain all day long. We could easily monitor and share body heat – essential in exposed, weather-affected places – and I could even breastfeed on the go, which was very liberating. We also used Ergobaby’s warm and waterproof covers to keep our children warm and dry wherever

Beware Counterfeits
We understand that you want the best and safest products for your baby. Unfortunately, there are counterfeit and potentially dangerous copies of our Ergobaby Carriers on the market. We urge you to obtain genuine products and educate yourself and others on how to purchase authorised products and how to avoid counterfeits that could potentially cause harm.
We pride ourselves on using high quality, certified materials produced in independently inspected factories that adhere to responsible work practices. Our Ergobaby carriers have attracted a host of international product awards and health endorsements. Unfortunately, this success has also attracted unscrupulous copies.
We love the fact that the Ergobaby Carrier is a "must-have" on many registries and new baby lists. But that means that you as parents may not be purchasing the Ergobaby Carrier for yourself, and we understand that many of you receive an Ergobaby product as a gift. For that reason, we urge you to please

Piccolo’s One For You, One For Mum Campaign
helping families in need at a difficult time
If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that this past year has been a tough one for us all.
Our good friends at Piccolo know that this is especially true for parents across the UK. That’s why they’re launching their new One For You, One For Mum campaign to support families in need at this difficult time.
At Ergobaby we always aim to do what we can to help others, so when they asked us to get involved, we jumped at the opportunity.
The campaign
Food is so important when it comes to bringing families together and it’s absolutely vital that all families have access to nutritious meals for their little ones.
However not everyone is this fortunate; and with the difficulties of 2020 not yet behind us, Piccolo is stepping up to support parents by providing them with healthy food for their children.
This February, for every Piccolo pouch bought in Waitrose, they’re matching it with a donation

How To Celebrate Valentine's Day During Lockdown
If you'd have told us this time last year that we'd be celebrating Valentine's Day in a national lockdown due to the ongoing effects of a global pandemic we just wouldn't have believed you! But here we are and after events from birthdays to weddings, Eid to Diwali, have all been celebrated rather differently we're starting to become pros at making sure special occasions remain... well... special, and Valentine's Day should be no exception.
First things first - food. One of the best bits of any celebration in our opinion! Lockdown may limit our options somewhat but that doesn't mean we don't have choices and here are a few to consider:
Order takeaway - Perhaps the most obvious and the easiest, local restaurants need all the help they can get at the moment and ordering in from your local spot would mean the world to them!
Supermarket meal deal - Another easy option, loads of supermarkets have deals on tasty meals that you simply bung in the

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
