Baby wearing vent

Gaaaah, okay so the Ergo is super useful for running errands (grocery store) but good lord, either I'm just really bad at this or I don't know how everyone else does it. I can't seem to bend down without tipping his neck back/do dishes without banging LO against the sink/eat without dropping food on his head/sit without smooshing his thighs/you get the idea.

Okay, vent over :)

Re: Baby wearing vent

  • I have the same problems...which is why I've never managed to actually cook or clean while baby wearing.  So you aren't alone...and this is my third child.
  • Loading the player...
  • Me too.  I put my son in the Moby and started vacuuming.  He fell asleep right away, so I took him out and put him down to nap.  Then I finished.  Much easier!

    I could never do any real good cleaning while baby wearing.  I'm always bending down, and on my hands on knees.

  • I managed to keep the food of dd2's head, but somehow managed to spill taco on the waist band UNDER her bum. No idea how that happened.

    I like my Tula, but I have a hard time washing dishes with a front carry.

  • Are you using the ergo without the infant insert? I don't want to shell out $25 for yet another baby thing that'll only last like 2 months- if that- but I want to use my ergo already

    Yes with the insert... We got the Ergo itself as a gift, which was why I didn't feel quite so bad paying for the insert myself. I know what you mean though, you only have to wait until the 12 pound mark!

    You can use a rolled up receiving blanket instead of the infant insert.

  • I use the rolled blanket with Amelia and she's only three weeks. I've found that the Tula holds her close enough to my boobs, that she just lies on my chest and sleeps.
