XP: Help with Ergo carrier?

I just bought an Ergo carrier and my 3 week old DD loves it. She's usually asleep before I even have it buckled.

So my question is with the infant insert, she's nice and snug up against my body, but where does her head go? There's so much space between my chest and the insert that her poor head bobs around everywhere. I was hoping to be able to do chores and stuff while wearing her, but every time I bend over her head flops back, and then when I stand up her little nose smashes into my chest. Not sure if there's a fix to it. I can't get the sling any tighter and still allow her room to breath. 

Thanks for your help!

Re: XP: Help with Ergo carrier?

  • This is the exact reason I don't like my Ergo in the beginning.  It just doesn't seem as comfy for baby or me as other carriers.  I would suggest getting a Moby for now, because it allows the baby to be snug and right up against you.  I start using my Ergo around 4-5 months and literally wear it about 18 hours a day at that point.  My kids end up napping in it.  lol

  • Ah, bummer. I was hoping that I was just missing something. It seems like something so obvious would have been fixed from the get go. I guess I'll look into the Moby for now. Thanks for your help.
