Ask the Expert | The 4th Trimester
Explanations and Tips for the Months After Birth
This week is European Babywearing Week, and the theme is “4th trimester and beyond”. But what’s behind the term "4th trimester"? Isn’t a pregnancy actually 9 months long, which is 3 trimesters (1 trimester = 3 months)? Thankfully, our midwife and babywearing expert Katrin has plenty of information to share all about this time. In today's expert tip, she describes everything parents need to know about the development of their baby during pregnancy and especially in the period immediately after birth. And she reveals what parents can do for their offspring in this 4th trimester.
A woman is usually pregnant for nine calendar months or ten lunar months. If the baby is born as planned after this time, one could assume that it is ready and, above all, mature enough. But this is actually not the case. While the parents are impatiently awaiting the birth - because they finally want to hold their baby in their

Everything You Need to Know About the Ergobaby Easy Snug Infant Insert
Nothing is more important than your new little baby. You’ll want to spend every waking moment snuggling them and ensuring they’re content and safe.
Baby Carriers allow you to keep your baby close while still being able to do things around the house and go about having a normal-as-possible day. Well as normal as normal can be in the current times!
For some of our Ergobaby carriers you will need to use an infant insert when using the carrier from birth, read on to find out when you need to use the Easy Snug Infant Insert with your carrier.
How to Use the Easy Snug Infant Insert
Our Easy Snug Infant Insert can be used two different ways:
You can use the whole insert to totally support a newborn baby inside our Original carrier or our All Position 360 carrier. (Please note: you do not need a newborn insert for our Embrace, Adapt and Omni 360 Carriers).
You can use just the pillow part of the insert as a cushioned booster

Making the Most of your Ergobaby Carrier's Safety Features
All our baby carriers are specially designed to keep your precious cargo safe and comfortable at all times, but don't just take our word for it, we want to show you some of the features we've included in all our soft-structured carriers (our Adapt, All Position 360, Original and Omni 360 models) to help you and baby feel completely safe and secure using them:

Baby privacy hood - Our baby privacy hoods aren't just for privacy, they are also UPF 50+ to keep your little one's face safe from the sun. Check out Vibes

Babywearing at Home
Babywearing isn’t just for long walks across muddy fields or navigating public transport when you can’t face lugging a buggy around (although those are both great reasons to babywear!), there’s a hundred reasons why babywearing at home is the best thing, and we thought we’d share a few…
Get things done!
It sounds pretty simple and it is. Even the most independent baby can be clingy sometimes but babywearing lets you get on with your life hands-free whether that’s giving some love and attention to another child, finally getting that cup of tea made and… wait for it… drunk whilst still hot, or just making your way through that ever-growing pile of washing. And pro tip: as your baby gets older try using the back carry or hip carry position if your carrier supports it to give you even more range of movement and freedom.
Breastfeeding
Babywearing can increase your chances of succeeding with breastfeeding and all Ergobaby carriers support breastfeeding while wearing your

4. Use a baby carrier for

Add a touch of spring style to your wardrobe with the Ergobaby Adapt in Midnight Blue
Exciting news! Our Adapt carrier is now available in Midnight Blue and while it’s still a little chilly outside, spring is in the air and we’ve put together an outfit from the high street to help you show off your new carrier in style.
Nothing says spring better than florals and we are completely obsessed with this long sleeve button dress from Joules, the subtle print is ideal for anyone not completely sure floral’s their thing, while the button front is handy for feeding. The long sleeves and midi length make it perfect for those days where the weather can’t make up its mind, and the best part? It has POCKETS.
It also works with pretty much any shoe choice. Whether you’re a white trainers kind of gal or an Chelsea boot queen, you can’t go wrong. We love the pointy toe of these Office ankle boots and the tiny heel adds a bit of glamour while remaining practical for longer walks or chasing after toddlers.

“The emotional labor pains of becoming a mother are far greater than the physical pangs of birth; these are the growing surges of your heart as it pushes out selfishness and fear and makes room for sacrifice and love. It is a private and silent birth of the soul, but it is no less holy than the event of childbirth—perhaps even more sacred.” — Joy Kusek
A dear friend shared this quote with me about two weeks after I came home with my newborn baby.
My heart was grasping for something, anything, that could help me define what the heck was going on with everything around and within me. This woman’s words defined this sweet and difficult season so perfectly. I became a mother by title when the test turned up positive. I looked like a mother-to-be for the better part of nine months. But I wasn’t a mother in my core—yet.
The fourth trimester (giving birth and the few first months afterward) is a crash course, sink-or-swim, best thing ever but ohmygosh-it’s-hard
