Baby Carrier

I have had LOTS of pre and post pregnancy back pain! Real fun....

I went on a fruit-less search buying loads of baby carriers, even the Baby Bjorn Active model, but nothing helped me carry my child comfortably for more than 10 mins. My life with baby got pretty stressful trying to get things done with DDin a pram beside me screaming to have a cuddle. I used to end up in tears some days!!

Move forward a couple of months and my friend suggested I try her ERGO baby carrier. I was skeptical having tried such a fleet of carriers in the past...but I instantly could feel how good this carrier was. The way it distributed my baby's weight to my hips instead of hanging from my shoudlers, was phenomenal!! I carried my baby for about 30 mins that day and was truly amazed how good my back felt. It actually felt that I had been standing in a better position with the ERGO on than off. I was so excited!!

My DH was less excited though. Having already spent hundreds of $$ on other carriers, he wasn't in the mood to go down that route again. After a couple of days of my waxing lyrical about the ERGO, he eventually tried the carrier and was pleasantly suprised.

From then on, my life with DD in an ERGO got so much easier and happier. The everyday freedom was so amazing. These days DH and I have little play-spats about who will wear DD in the ERGO! We now use the ERGO everyday, sometimes for upt o 2-3 hours straight...and still NO back pain. We use the ERGO going to the park, on public transport, hanging out the washing, at the supermarket, cooking dinner and have enjoyed many holidays with it too. It has been fantasitc to leave the bulky pram at home. My chubba bubba feels feather light the whole time...and oh-so-happy!!

I get emotional just thinking about how many cuddles and kisses I would have missed out on with DD if I hadn't found the ERGO!!

The ERGO truly saved me as a mum and changed my whole perspective on parenting. It is now much much more enjoyable than I could have imagined and so much less a battle of wills!
