Has your baby been unhappy for days, crying a lot and drooling and chewing on everything in their path? Then a tooth is probably on the way. A really challenging time for your little darling, but also for you. Because the helplessness you experience as a parent during this time is simply awful.
After all, you want to take away your little one's pain or at least be there to sympathise with them. But how? “How to help a teething baby” is a universally searched-for phrase by parents – it might even be how you came to find this blog! And anyway: how do you even know that it's the teeth that are tormenting your baby?
After all, it is often the case that a baby is teething but there is no tooth in sight. Together with our midwife and babywearing expert Katrin Ritter, we take a look behind the scenes of teething and explain what's going on in your baby's jaw.
So here they are, the most pressing questions (and answers) about teething babies.

We love it when you test our products. That’s when we really find out what you like about our practical everyday helpers and where we can improve. It's important we know if we've really got the best baby bouncer out there and if we can make it even better. So after we tested our Ergobaby bouncer, the Evolve 3-in-1 Bouncer, with 26 families at the beginning of this year of which we received 5 out of 5 stars, we wanted to put it to the test with the professionals. We asked twelve midwives and health experts (from 7 midwifery practices, 1 physiotherapy practice and 1 parent-child competence centre) and their families (more than 100 people in total) what they think of our ergonomic and evolving bouncer.

How to change a nappy, how to pick a baby up, how to put a baby down - these are things you probably do on autopilot, especially if you’re used to being around babies. But our midwife and babywearing expert Katrin Ritter recommends conscious and mindful movements done in the same way you move your own body. This means that rather than baby being moved by you, you become one and support them in carrying out the most natural movement.
This both strengthens your relationship and promotes the development of your newborn's movement. Your child communicates with you through movement and touch. This is how kinesthetics, the science of movement sensation, sees it. From the very beginning, a baby has a great need for closeness and physical contact. It likes to be touched and it develops its abilities by moving together with you. You are an important interaction partner for your child.
So what does that mean in everyday life? The goal is to support your baby as little as possible, but as much as

Wow - did you know Ergobaby has been around for 20 years? That's when Karin Frost, a single mum on Maui, Hawaii, designed her first ergonomic baby carrier and set new standards for baby carriers around the world. To celebrate our anniversary this year, we asked you to help design our limited-edition baby carrier to celebrate our 20th Anniversary and the millions of moments parents and babies have spent in our baby carriers.
It was incredibly exciting, we received so many great and creative design entries from all around the world! It was incredibly hard to decide which to turn into a carrier. But, we finally made a decision. So without further ado... tadaaaa.... we are proud to announce the winning design "Starry Galaxy" is now available in our online shop. YAY!
Our Ergobaby Omni carriers are among the most popular baby carriers around. They combine all the best of the experience and knowledge of Ergobaby’s 20 years of innovation. After all, we didn't choose our popular 4-position carrier

At Ergobaby, we are particularly concerned about protecting our planet for our children’s future. That's why sustainability plays a major role in our corporate philosophy.
Living more sustainably starts with very small adjustments in your daily life. And, because we are parents ourselves and know that there is little time in everyday life with a baby and children to think about sustainability, we have put together our top 10 tips for a more sustainable approach:
1. Shop greener clothes: if you do not choose to buy brand new clothes for your baby, look for textiles with the GOTS label. This is an international label for organic textiles that was founded in 2002 and guarantees that textile production is environmentally and socially responsible. No harmful or carcinogenic substances are used. In addition, GOTS requires the creation of a sustainability plan that considers water and energy consumption as well as waste management.
2. Use reusable nappies: Although reusable nappies have a reputation

Our Ergobaby expert midwife, babywearing consultant and sleep specialist Katrin Ritter has been getting lots of questions about our baby bouncer, so we have put together a list of the most frequently asked questions, and answers here.
Baby bouncer: The most frequently asked questions
1. What are the benefits of a bouncer?
For most situations a baby carrier is the perfect solution at home to keep your baby close to you and still have your hands free. But, what about when you need to go to the toilet or jump in the shower? Then our bouncer is a practical, safe, ergonomic, and comfortable place for your child to relax and be close to you. Most bouncers can be folded and are lightweight meaning they can be transported from room to room with ease. Our Evolve Bouncer even fits into a handy carry bag to take it with you to friends or family as a familiar place for your little one.
2. What age can you use a bouncer
You can use an ergonomic bouncer like our Ergobaby Evolve 3-in-1 Bouncer with a

Are you looking for a safe and comfortable place for baby when you’re not using your baby carrier? A baby bouncer can give you the "freedom knowing they are safe and with you" that sometimes you need in everyday life, otherwise how else can you take a shower.
So the question is: Which baby bouncer is recommended? While researching bouncers, you may have noticed that not every baby bouncer is suitable from birth and provides the support a newborn really needs. It is important to look at a bouncer that grows ergonomically with your baby from birth. In concrete terms, this means that it is designed to support your child's development in the best possible way at every stage.
The Ergobaby Evolve 3-in-1 baby bouncer – ergonomics designed for baby
As you know, Ergobaby specialises in designing and manufacturing ergonomic products for everyday families. That's why we developed our Ergobaby Evolve 3-in-1 Bouncer together with a paediatric orthopaedist. As a result, it is the first and only baby

Yes, women are great, but that's not what we celebrate on the 8th of March. So, what is International Women's Day then?
Unfortunately, there are still many areas of life where women struggle for equality - be it salary or discrimination in different professions. Equality is therefore an important topic that discussed during International Women's Day.
As we are also celebrating our 20th Ergobaby anniversary this year, on International Women's Day we would like to celebrate not only all the women in our community, but especially the success of our founder, Karin Frost. Karin is a symbol of what women contribute to our society.
Karin was a single mother with limited financial resources, when she founded a company on Maui (Hawaii) that has since made the lives of countless families worldwide more ergonomic and easier. In doing so, Karin Frost revolutionized the way we carry babies today.
We would like to take you a little deeper into the Ergobaby story and let Karin Frost and Petty Rader,
