Ergo baby carrier owners

[tahm563]

Is it possible to do housework with ergo carrier? Also, how is it in very hot weather?

[Oscar's mum]

You sure can do housework in the Ergo. As for heat well it isn't too bad but when it is hot and I take the ergo off I get left with a big round sweat patch from where bub was against me.

I have done hours of housework in an ergo - great for hanging out washing, sweeping etc.

Much easier to do housework if bub is on teh back (but can't do that till about 6 months or so), but still ok on the front, just feels a bit bulkier and a bit less comfy than a wrap-type carrier on the front...

yep sure is.... ive just had my 2year old 13kg DS on my back while i vaccumed and mopped the entire house :yes:

I do a lot of things around the house and shopping with our Ergo.
I haven't had a problem with the heat. I guess it's just the same as if you were holding them in your arms anyway?

thanks for you help. Can I use Ergo without an insert for my nearly 3 months old?

[jbie]

there's an insert for newborns; but bcos i never got the hang of the insert, i just put his heels together and digging into my belly (kinda like a froggy).

Mine is no hotter than my baby bjorn.

[wild at heart]

I just can't get comfy so I'd love to be able to use it for housework but I can't get him on my back without struggling and putting him on the bed. he screams blue murder when I try to put him on..

Can someone direct to me a thread where this was mentioned (I don't want to get y'all off the track here).

Thanks ;)

Hi,
which carrier r u all talking abt the sling or the pouch which stays vertical?

[UmmInayah]

I do the housework with it. I live in brisbane, gets stinking hot here, And I usually do end up getting a little sweaty.. But I use a cold pack against my tummy under my shirt that is wrapped in kitchen towel. Provides a barrier between bub and I so we don't get too hot and keeps us both cool :)
