When did you start using the Ergo?

DS is a peanut and not even 7 lbs yet. I figure it will be a while. Is the infant insert worth the $$. Thanks!

We started using ours when E was 2 weeks old. He barely weighed 7lbs.

I love the ergo with the insert. DD was probably 7 pounds when we started using it also.

Thanks! Were you guys using the infant insert? I don't have it. If so, how long did you use the insert. Thanks! I'm trying to decide if I should go buy it today. I need my hands to my toddler!

You can try putting baby in swaddled, "sitting" in a receiving blanket in the bottom to lift him higher.

Or just buy the insert. If the Ergo is your only carrier, go buy the insert. I didn't use my Ergo until about 3.5 months because I didn't get the insert (I had other carriers, though).

Thanks. I have the Moby but I'm just excited to use the Ergo. 3 months sounds about when I figured I could use it.

At 3 weeks and 8 lbs we used the insert for a short hike.

We are still using the insert at 8 weeks and 11 lbs. I would say it's worth it. Maybe you can find a gently used one? Good luck!

I still use the insert and DS is 12 pounds and 3 months old.

We started using it almost right away. DS was about 7 pounds.

Just bought the insert. Can't wait to use it tomorrow!
