Is there such a thing? A sustainable baby carrier? Absolutely, and not just one. Ergobaby baby carriers are all fundamentally sustainable due to their durability. They are regularly used for multiple babies across multiple families. But that's not all. With many of our baby carriers, we already focus on sustainability in terms of materials and production too. We’re committed to leaving the world a better place for future generations. This month we celebrate both World Environment Day on 5th June and World Oceans Day on 8th June so we thought it was the perfect time to share the adjustments we are making so that Ergobaby and our products are more sustainable, and contribute to a better world. 

Sustainable baby carriers and products - our commitment at Ergobaby

It is our responsibility to make our planet a better place. Only then will our children - and all future generations - have the chance to live the life they deserve. And that's exactly why we are constantly working to reduce our

Your baby is in their fifth month of life and step by step their development is progressing. The two halves of their brain are becoming more and more connected, so that by the end of the fifth month they will probably be able to grasp in a targeted manner. And beyond the centre of their body. This is HUGE deal, because this skill requires lots of coordination and is a big step on your baby's developmental journey. It's the prerequisite for your little miracle to turn later on.

And that brings us right back to the fifth part of our blog series "Baby’s developmental milestones". In it, our lovely midwife and baby expert Katrin Ritter tells you what your baby will surprise you with month after month, how you can support them in individual movement sequences, and how you can promote their development. At the end of this journey, walking awaits! How exciting! But until then, there is still a lot going on in the body and brain of the little tots. Now, after five months, it's time to reach across

Many parents who embark on a breast/chestfeeding journey come across a pump at some point. Whether your feeding journey doesn’t get off to the start you hoped it would, or you want to try introducing a bottle, or because exclusively pumping is your first choice, whatever the reason, having an efficient tool for expressing milk can be a real help.

In addition to the important first hour after birth, during which your newborn baby goes through the nine stages of adaptation, expressing milk can also play a decisive role in the start of your feeding journey. Before the birth, however, your milk is not pumped, but expressed by hand, to extract valuable colostrum.

So that you feel well prepared and informed about expressing milk, we will be sharing all our knowledge about expressing milk with you together with our midwife and breast/chestfeeding expert Katrin.

What we’ll be covering:

• Why you might want to try expressing milk
• Finding the right chest / breast pump for you
• When to start expressing

Yay and congratulations, you're pregnant! We hope you're doing well and enjoying this exciting new stage of your life without worrying too much about what you should or shouldn’t be doing. There are so many myths about being pregnant but don't let them stress you out. There are a few rules to follow simply to protect yourself and the little miracle in your tummy. For example, the topic ‘What not to eat and drink during pregnancy’, is a topic we’ve discussed on the blog before. Today, together with our expert Katrin, we want to take a closer look at a few more persistent rumours, like, can you dye your hair when pregnant? ect..Which ones are true and which ones can we bust?

Can you dye your hair when pregnant?

For most of you, one thing is certain: don't dye your hair using traditional hair dyes during pregnancy. Especially in the first three months of pregnancy. This is because your child's arms and legs are developing during this time and the nerve cells in the brain are connecting.

When I became a mother for the second time, one of the things I was most excited about was that I could start tandem carrying my daughter with her two-year-old brother! The options and choices for carrying both of them together were vast and I was so excited to try them all. You can use pretty much any type of sling or carrier for tandem babywearing. I quickly became adept at using one woven wrap to carry them both! However, when my toddler son wanted to get up and down a lot and my newborn daughter was sleeping - this swiftly became impractical outside of nap time. 

Stretchy wraps and buckled carriers soon became my “go-to” carriers. They offered flexibility, variety and I could get both of my children in and out independently of each other. As they grew, this evolved into using two buckled carriers for speed. 

As a Slingababy trained Carrying Consultant, I have also worked extensively with parents of twins and multiples to help them carry their babies singularly and together from birth.

In everyday life and when travelling with your baby, you will often find yourself in situations and places that are quite turbulent and full of stimuli for a little brain. In the supermarket, on public transport or perhaps even on a plane. Moments like these can be quite challenging and overwhelming for your baby. That’s where a baby carrier comes in! They simultaneously make life easier for you and keep your little one happy as they can be held close and safe in a cosy and ergonomic baby carrier. And which do we think is the best baby carrier for travel? Read on to find out...

Wherever you want to go: a baby carrier makes travelling easier

An Ergobaby baby carrier is your ideal companion when you are travelling. It simply couldn't be more comfortable and practical. If you're travelling somewhere that tends to be cramped and crowded, you're perfectly equipped with your baby in a baby carrier. Your baby feels safe with you and can withdraw while you weave your way through the crowd. This

Welcome back to your baby's delicate development journey. We've reached month four and it’s time for “4-month-old baby milestones”, the fourth part of our blog series "Baby’s Developmental Milestones With Ergobaby: Baby’s First Year. So today, together with our expert and midwife Katrin, we want to look at what your baby can already do at the end of their fourth month of life.

Your baby's urge to move and explore increases during this time and is also the driving force behind their development. They want to grasp, feel, and explore. Not only is everything felt with the fingers, but it also goes straight in their mouth. Smell, taste, shape, and texture - we can still process things like this as adults. That's why you should never forbid your child to put harmless objects in their mouth.

That was the milestone last month, you may be thinking. And yes, it was. But by the end of the fourth month,
