@javieramedel Breastfeeding, mama! That's about all. It really comes off at 9-12 months if stick with nursing. I also cut out my evening snack :). Instead of eating fruit, yogurt and nuts, I just ate 1 piece of fruit. Those are my two tips. Hope they help!
I have the Moby wrap and love it but my LO is 16lbs now @ 3 months. While I love the coverage of the moby so I can nurse in it, I really want the ergo so she can go on my back. Maybe I'll sell my moby on eBay??
"mama needs a new pair of shoes!" hah! I love this review. I've been looking into this carrier (preparing EXTRA early for whenever I do have a baby), and I think you just helped me stamp APPROVED onto this one! =D
@breemaebreemae Oh, good! I just started using again as Griffin would start to get fussy towards dinner when I'm in the kitchen cooking. He would keep looking up at me and signal to be held so I'd hold him on my hip while I cooked and cleaned. Finally, I thought... BABY CARRIER! And sure enough, he's happy as a clam in it, even at 15 months when we're indoors doing housework. The Ergo is a gift that keeps on giving...
@MamaNaturalBlog see, that's what I was thinking I would mostly use it for. I didn't have a carrier when I had my goddaughter full time, and she was ALWAYS asking to be held when I was cooking or doing housework. I felt so bad, 'cause I had to hand her off to my mother, and poor little Cadence did NOT want my mom to hold her. she wanted ME, haha.
You are hilarious , your videos are always so informative and creative, Thanks for shearing, Imma buy this carrier.. I actually have it on my Amazon wish list. :)
You are hilarious. I bought one used on ebay but plan to use my moby for the infant stage and will use this once baby doesn't need the insert. Can't wait to use it, the back carry was so important to me.
I LOVE our ergo. We used it with our daughter who is now 4.5 - and I just got in the infant insert for this baby due in July. I still like my Maya wrap and Mei Tei but for longer stretches of baby wearing it is KING!
Yes, I agreed! We love our ergo carrier and so does our son! This is the only carrier we used since our son was four-five months old, and we still using this. Our son is 14 months now! Great carrier and the side pocket is so useful! :)
I love the Ergo deisgn. Ive been eyeing this carrier for so long. Unfortunately I bought the Bjorn. I liked it for a little bit but Im disappointed that I paid so much money for a "one way hold" carrier. I shouldve done my research. Cute demonstrations too! ;)
@fcossell Bummer. I hate when that happens and I can relate. I had a bunch of other wraps, carriers... seems like a waste. But, I'm glad I found this one because I'm actually USING it.
Thanks for the review. I need to invest in a good carrier. My second baby is due just after the 4th of July so I need something for hiking and going to lots of places over the summer!!! I have the moby wrap and it takes so much time to wrap it around, I just want something I can throw on and go!
How you get back in shape so quick?? give me a tip please....

@Angllbabie I really wanted the Maya wrap to work but it always seemed to cramp Griffin's neck in an uncomfortable way. He wasn't a big fan.

I love the little cover attached, seems like it would be great for nursing in public discreetly.

Does it fit from birth or from 4-5 months like most carriers?
The video was awsome as always. I enjoy watching your videos so much. Informative and fun. :)

@slun4evka Hi! You'll need to buy their infant insert ($38) if baby is under 4-5 months. Thanks for your kind words!

You're gorgeous and youthful without makeup when you're carrying your baby! The ponytail helps too. LOL
