In the ever-evolving landscape of parenting products, standing out amidst the competition requires more than just quality craftsmanship. It demands innovation, functionality, and a deep understanding of parents' needs. This year, we’ve clinched not one, not two, but three awards at the prestigious Made For Mums Awards 2024!
Of course, we like to think that we make the best baby carrier, the best baby bouncer, the best stroller etc. but it’s your opinion that really matters! For the fifth year in a row our products have had the honour of being recognised at the Made for Mums Awards. We couldn’t be more thrilled that our Evolve 3-in-1 bouncer was awarded gold and named the best baby bouncer!

In everyday life and when travelling with your baby, you will often find yourself in situations and places that are quite turbulent and full of stimuli for a little brain. In the supermarket, on public transport or perhaps even on a plane. Moments like these can be quite challenging and overwhelming for your baby. That’s where a baby carrier comes in! They simultaneously make life easier for you and keep your little one happy as they can be held close and safe in a cosy and ergonomic baby carrier. And which do we think is the best baby carrier for travel? Read on to find out...
Wherever you want to go: a baby carrier makes travelling easier
An Ergobaby baby carrier is your ideal companion when you are travelling. It simply couldn't be more comfortable and practical. If you're travelling somewhere that tends to be cramped and crowded, you're perfectly equipped with your baby in a baby carrier. Your baby feels safe with you and can withdraw while you weave your way through the crowd. This

Welcome back to your baby's delicate development journey. We've reached month four and it’s time for “4-month-old baby milestones”, the fourth part of our blog series "Baby’s Developmental Milestones With Ergobaby: Baby’s First Year. So today, together with our expert and midwife Katrin, we want to look at what your baby can already do at the end of their fourth month of life.
Your baby's urge to move and explore increases during this time and is also the driving force behind their development. They want to grasp, feel, and explore. Not only is everything felt with the fingers, but it also goes straight in their mouth. Smell, taste, shape, and texture - we can still process things like this as adults. That's why you should never forbid your child to put harmless objects in their mouth.

That was the milestone last month, you may be thinking. And yes, it was. But by the end of the fourth month,

Congratulations, you're pregnant! At least that's what we're assuming since you're interested in how to correctly calculate a due date. Or, as they’re more officially known – an estimated date of delivery (EDD). As it is relatively unlikely that the estimated due date will actually be the date of birth, because most babies are born a few days or weeks earlier or later. There are various reasons - apart from pure curiosity - why it is important to know your baby’s due date. Our midwife Katrin Ritter will explain why this is the case and share a due date calculator for whether you’ve conceived naturally or via artificial means and whether you’re having one baby or multiple!
Calculating the due date
Only a few children (around 4-5 per cent) are born on their due date. It is therefore only a guide for you and your midwife / gynaecological practice. To calculate this, you need the exact time of conception. Do you know this? Then the pregnancy lasts an average of 266 days, 38 weeks or 9.5 lunar

You’ve mastered the walk (or waddle, we’ve been there!) around the block, you’ve done your first grocery shop since baby arrived and now it’s your first day out with baby!
The first time you have a day out with baby is very different from the spontaneous trips you took before you became a parent. Whereas before you simply grabbed your bag and set off, a day out with baby take a little more planning. But no matter where you’re going and what you’re doing we’ve got you covered with the ultimate checklist of things to take with you. Nappy explosion in a café... no problem! Baby starts clamouring for a bottle or boob just as you step in a changing room... you’ve got a plan! We’re going to share all our secrets for success!
No matter the trip you’ll always need a well-stocked changing bag:
Nappy changing basics: First things first a changing bag needs changing supplies. Nappies, wipes (wet or cloth), nappy sacks, a nappy cream if you use one and a changing mat.
A change of clothes: Having

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 while you find your feet. Having one person to push the trolley with baby and one person to grab items and pop them in the trolley can make the process much quicker and smoother.
2. Clever parking
If your local supermarket has parent/child spaces

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 breast/chestfeeding a newborn. The more you know in advance about what

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 of taking in my new daughter, I knew she had Down Syndrome.
The midwife dried her off, did her newborn evaluation, and told me that I should see a paediatrician the following morning. Since there was
