We are often asked about our infant insert and whether or not parents need them for their baby. Here we attempt to answer some of those questions!
Will I need an infant insert?
Our Easy Snug infant inserts are designed so that you can carry your newborn baby both ergonomically and comfortably in a soothing, nest-like comfort close to you, for a cozy transition to the world from the womb.
If you are using an Ergobaby Original or Ergobaby All Position 360 Carrier, you will need an infant insert when wearing your baby between 3.2-5.5kgs / 7-12lbs or approx. newborn to 4 months old.
Our Adapt and Omni 360 carriers can be used from newborn (min. 3.2kgs/7lbs) with no need for an insert.
We give a maximum weight and age as a guide only, as all babies develop differently.
The infant insert is specifically designed to support babies who have not yet developed strong head and neck control and/or the ability to sit comfortably, with their hips in an optimal 'M'-shape position in the carrier alone.

This month, It's A Sling Thing is in our "Sling Library Spotlight"! 🌟
Each month, we are showcasing a sling library from the UK to share a bit about themselves and the invaluable services they offer local families and the wider community.
We will also be asking them to share some of the most asked questions and how they answer them!
- - -
Jenni & Emily are directors of 'It's A Sling Thing' and here, Jenni talks through the services they offer and
why it means a lot to be able to help families wear their children.
From Jenni & Emily :
"It’s A Sling Thing is different to most sling libraries – we operate entirely online.
We provide sling hire via post, ordered from and sent to your own home, and our consultancy services take place over the phone or via video calls.
We want to support as many families as possible to try carrying, and our services often support families who cannot attend local sling services.
We also offer Try Before You Buy on many slings and carriers which we retail.

Summer is finally approaching, and if you’re anything like us, you’ll be counting down to that much-anticipated family break. Playing on the beach, or splashing around in the pool with the little ones, is the stuff of precious memories – but before you reach your sun-drenched destination, there’s the small matter of getting there.
Air travel can be a real challenge for parents of young children, with even the best-behaved ones prone to crying from tiredness, hunger, painful ears, or simply because their routine has been disrupted. Add to that the fact that we’re all-too-aware how disgruntled other passengers get when there’s a grizzly baby on board, and you could end up feeling frazzled before you’ve even taken off.
So, how do you ensure baby is as relaxed as possible for the flight? Peter Jenkins, from luxury travel specialist Sun-hat Villas and Resorts, has these tips.
Plan ahead
It’s always fun to choose your accommodation and pick out restaurants in your resort, but don’t forget the

Whilst we may think of exercise as a way to lose weight and get back in to shape, there are actually many other benefits to being active. Exercise is known to maintain and improve feelings of well-being as a result of chemical changes in our brains. The increased endorphins released as the body moves into exercise mode are proven to have positive effects on our mood and wellbeing. Coupled with the numerous other benefits of exercise like accelerated post-birth recovery, building strength, increasing energy levels and social interaction with other mums, the list is endless!
However, as many new parents know, sometimes just getting out of the front door can be likened to a military operation so some of the various daily activities that could be done without a thought pre-baby, are no longer quite so easy. Exercise tends to be one of those things that is often considered but pushed to the side due to “I just don’t have the time” or “the baby’s routine just won’t allow for me time”

Whole Lotta Ergobaby Love
A Review by Vibes Life Us
We have been lovers of baby wearing since Emerson was 8 weeks old. If you live in London you know that owning a baby carrier is a necessity. As convenient as the tube is, unfortunately many of the stations are just not suitable for prams. You will also know that if you’re ever caught out at rush hour, then London commuters most definitely arnt buggy friendly. Space is a commodity on the underground, and prams use up lots of it. So strapping your baby to your person is the way forward, or backward depending on how you carry.
Whilst pregnant I spent a lot of time researching baby carriers. Those were the days!! The days when I had time to endlessly Google reviews, and compare products. These days I’m more about that “panic impulse, Amazon Prime life”, and HSBC love me for it. The Ergobaby 360 was the product that came out on top, after I had completed my thorough market study, and it was the one that we went ahead and purchased.

When shopping for a baby carrier, wearing baby in a front outward facing position is a feature that a lot of parents look for. Although some babies do not enjoy being carried facing outward, many love being able to watch the world around them, exploring new sights and sounds with the comfort of you close behind.
Unlike sitting facing the world in a stroller, wearing your baby front outward facing means she is held up higher where she can see over the fence at the farm for you to point out the animals or up at conversational height on a woodland walk, able to reach out and touch the leaves.
Before you embark on your world-facing adventure, you should know the signs that mean your child is ready, how to wear baby in an optimal, front outward facing position in our 360 or Omni 360 carrier and when baby needs to be turned back to a parent-facing position.

Last month, we had the pleasure of working with CARiFiT and Scandinavian Londoner life & style influencer, Anneli Bush, creating some babywearing fitness masterclasses to help strengthen and tone your postnatal body.
Not just fit...
Squat & Press Masterclass
This is motherhood in a single exercise...squatting down and picking something up!
We just want to train your body to do it properly and by using the correct muscle and using your core for support.
If ever a move was going to protect you from common motherhood related aches and pains, this is it.
Curtsey & Curl Masterclass
Your new world requires a lot of carrying and holding – so make sure you check out the bicep curl 💪.
This workout will help provide you with both upper arm and grip strength.
The curtsey lunge shown will help to strengthen the legs and glutes and build much needed endurance to cope with the demanding days...and nights!
Side Squat & Leg Raise Masterclass
Squat and side kick is a move that will
