Babywearing

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use my carrier if I am pregnant?

Many women have safely used the Ergobaby carrier throughout their pregnancy. However, this is very much an individual preference and we recommend you consult your health care practitioner if you choose to continue to carry your child beyond your fifth month of pregnancy.

Can I nurse in the carrier?

Yes! It is possible to nurse while using most Ergobaby Carriers. Here are some tips for nursing in a carrier.

How can I stop the buckle from rubbing under my arms?

All of our carriers fit differently, and depending on the wearer's body type and baby's size, there are different adjustments that can be made for the most comfortable fit. Under arm rub can happen when pulling the chest clip too tight or placing it too high. Try loosening the chest clip & lowering it a little. If you are still having trouble, please reach out to our babywearing educators at support@ergobaby.comfor your personalized fit check!

I think my baby's legs are uncomfortable when in the carrier. What should I do?

Check that your settings are correct for the length of your baby. They should have free range of motion with their legs and no restriction at the knee. Baby should have an “M” shaped seat in the carrier and the weight should not be resting on their legs, but rather their bum. If you are still having trouble, please reach out to our babywearing educators at support@ergobaby.comfor your personalized fit check!

It feels hot in the carrier. Is this normal?

Having your baby close to your body can create a little more body heat and may sometimes feel warmer than normal. That said, many parents like our Omni Breeze carriers to help with breathability. Here are some additional tips for hot weather babywearing.
