Babywearing and Developmental Hip Dysplasia
According to the NHS, Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) is a condition where the "ball and socket" joint of the hip does not properly form in babies and young children. About 1 or 2 in every 1,000 babies have DDH that needs to be treated.
All baby's hips are checked as part of the newborn physical examination (usually within 72 hours of being born) so you should know early on if there are any suspected problems but you can check out the NHS information and advice here if you have any concerns.
Babies with Hip Dysplasia may well need treatment and it is especially important that their hips are kept in a stable position and any products such as baby carriers and sleep products support them ergonomically.
All Ergobaby carriers are designated hip healthy by the International Hip Dysplasia

Beware Counterfeits
We understand that you want the best and safest products for your baby. Unfortunately, there are counterfeit and potentially dangerous copies of our Ergobaby Carriers on the market. We urge you to obtain genuine products and educate yourself and others on how to purchase authorised products and how to avoid counterfeits that could potentially cause harm.
We pride ourselves on using high quality, certified materials produced in independently inspected factories that adhere to responsible work practices. Our Ergobaby carriers have attracted a host of international product awards and health endorsements. Unfortunately, this success has also attracted unscrupulous copies.
We love the fact that the Ergobaby Carrier is a "must-have" on many registries and new baby lists. But that means that you as parents may not be purchasing the Ergobaby Carrier for yourself, and we understand that many of you receive

How To Celebrate Valentine's Day During Lockdown
If you'd have told us this time last year that we'd be celebrating Valentine's Day in a national lockdown due to the ongoing effects of a global pandemic we just wouldn't have believed you! But here we are and after events from birthdays to weddings, Eid to Diwali, have all been celebrated rather differently we're starting to become pros at making sure special occasions remain... well... special, and Valentine's Day should be no exception.
First things first - food. One of the best bits of any celebration in our opinion! Lockdown may limit our options somewhat but that doesn't mean we don't have choices and here are a few to consider:
Order takeaway - Perhaps the most obvious and the easiest, local restaurants need all the help they can get at the moment and ordering in from your local spot would mean the world to them!
Supermarket meal deal - Another easy option, loads of supermarkets

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 Embrace,
