Cuddling, feeding, changing nappies, and looking at your baby in love. This is what the first few weeks with your little miracle will hopefully look like. But at some point, everyday life catches up with you again. And that includes grocery shopping. It might seem unbelievable that a trip to the supermarket will feel like a whole day out once baby arrives but trust us, it will! However, shopping with a baby is different to what you used to know. It requires more planning and includes less browsing! But we’ve got you covered with our eight top tips for stress-free shopping with baby.

Shopping with a baby - how to make it work:

1. If you can, take support with you

As with most things baby-related, an extra pair of hands can be invaluable. Particularly

Breast/chestfeeding has so many benefits for mum and baby. But unfortunately, first-time parents with no experience are often unsure when it comes to breast/chestfeeding after birth. After all, they don't know exactly what to expect. They hear and see a lot in advance. From glossy social media images of happy breast/chestfeeding to well-intentioned advice from family members and friends to honest and unembellished testimonials from mum friends... All of this influences their own expectations of what can and should happen after birth. This information can often cause uncertainty or even stress. As wonderful as breast/chestfeeding is, it can also be stressful at the beginning (but it doesn't have to be).

Our midwife and breast/chestfeeding expert Katrin Ritter knows that although both parent and child are made for breast/chestfeeding, both have to learn it first. So that’s exactly what we’re sharing today: a “how to” for

I’m Madison Sponsler, wife to an incredible husband and mama to two beautiful girls. This is the story of my miracle baby, Liberty.

Liberty is my first born. My pregnancy with her was beautiful and complication free. I loved every second of my pregnancy and the ultrasounds and blood tests all confirmed that our little bundle of joy was perfectly healthy.

At forty weeks I started having contractions. My husband and I were beyond excited to meet our beautiful girl. My labour was seamless and my delivery was fast. Everything had gone exactly how I dreamed it would during the nine months it took to grow her.

But my dream came to an abrupt halt when they placed her in my arms for the first time. Immediately, I knew that she was not like any newborn I had laid eyes on before. After a few moments

You've waited so long for the moment when you finally hold your little baby in your arms. This breath-taking moment, these incredible emotions, this miracle... And yet for many mums (and dads too), this moment heralds a phase characterised by expectations, pressure, and stress. Ideally, of course, this shouldn't be the case. But unfortunately, in many cases we ourselves and our outside world make sure that we want too much and that everything runs smoothly and perfectly. Especially when it comes to breast/chestfeeding. Mums who want to breast/chestfeed their baby quickly become nervous if things don't go as planned straight away. Understandably so. After all, they see their baby lying hungry in front of them and want to finally give them what they so desperately want. And then it doesn't work...

The situation just described leads us to ask how stress and breast/chestfeeding problems are connected. How does the stress experienced

We’re back again with our blog series sharing baby milestones by month titled "Baby’s Developmental Milestones With Ergobaby: Baby’s First Year. Today is the third instalment with the 3 month-old baby development steps and milestones. So, what can a baby do when they have been in this world for a quarter of a year? Our midwife and expert Katrin shares more...

Are you ready for a little more action? Your baby definitely is. They are moving out of the period where they familiarise themselves with this big new world and the urge to explore is awakened. They have left the initial adjustment difficulties behind, and your little treasure is feeling more and more at home in this world. If they suffer from flatulence, for example, this should improve by the end of the third month. This

It's a science in itself: baby sleep. It can be a rough ride for many parents because although baby is tired, it seems they won't sleep. But, do they not want to sleep, or are they simply unable find their own way to sleep? After all, they are bombarded with a lot of new information every day, every hour, every second, for such a little creature. It keeps their body and mind very busy, and it can be hard for them to ‘switch off’. But lucky for them, they have you. Because with your help, they can get the sleep they need. The basic ingredients for this are: relaxation, a strong sense of security, and routines. Nothing beats routines and rituals to help your baby fall asleep. Because they convey security and security relaxes them.

A few months ago, we shared tips on how you can help your little miracle

It happens so quickly. Week after week, this little newborn surprises you with a new, more developed skill. Time is racing and you probably want to freeze it to preserve every moment. The bad news is that unfortunately, that's not possible. The good news is that many unforgettable moments still await you - incredibly exciting and beautiful. And every age and stage has something special, something unique, along with new challenges of course.

So that you know what to expect, last month we launched our new blog series "Baby's developmental milestones with Ergobaby: Baby's first year” starting with “Your 1 month old baby”.

How babywearing, breast/chestfeeding and co-sleeping can strengthen this bond

Bonding. A term that is probably buzzing around in the heads of many expectant parents. Some have already dealt with it intensively and know the importance of bonding with baby and how they plan to do it. Others may worry that they will not be able to build a good and healthy attachment relationship with their baby. And others haven't thought about it much at all.

Our babywearing survey, which we conducted together with babyforum.at in summer 2023, focused precisely on this bonding process and the question of what role a baby carrier plays in this. The result of the survey: 95.5 per cent of respondents who already have children stated that they had used a baby
