For now they are estimating about 6 weeks but the pediatric orthopedic surgeon will keep assessing him and see how he progresses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-out-of-ergo#post-2881410 Fri, 19 Apr 2019 10:17:11 +0000 LadyDi 2881410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: it was the lower part of his thigh, just above his knee. Thankfully he didn’t need to be in a cast that wrapped all of the way around him. How long will your son be in the harness for? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-out-of-ergo#post-2881406 Fri, 19 Apr 2019 09:24:01 +0000 Mrsbells 2881406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pachamama: thank you! I hope it is a quick recovery </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-out-of-ergo#post-2881405 Fri, 19 Apr 2019 09:19:54 +0000 pachamama 2881405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: omg I am so sorry! Reading this made me so sad for you and the baby. I hope he heals quickly, I'm sure he will with those baby bones! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-out-of-ergo#post-2881401 Fri, 19 Apr 2019 08:57:22 +0000 Mrsbells 2881401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone your responses really help me feel a little better.</p> <p>@Foodnerd81: thanks! Yes landing on the bed helped him not injure anything else but that one leg was still partially trapped by the strap of the baby carrier and I was still holding on to his leg! Such a horrible thing to happen.</p> <p>@LadyDi: Thanks for sharing that I feel so bad about it. Was it the lower leg in your baby's case? My son wasnt put in a cast but has to wear a plavik harness shown below. Its mainly for hip dysplasia but also works for a thigh break of his kind. </p> [attach=1326/19/pq7o3m.600x583.Screenshot_20190419-085440.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-out-of-ergo#post-2881392 Fri, 19 Apr 2019 07:56:30 +0000 graceandjoy 2881392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so sorry! Must have been so stressful/scary! I agree that most have been able to back carry with no issues but also that it really is mostly luck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-out-of-ergo#post-2881389 Fri, 19 Apr 2019 07:42:22 +0000 Ajsmommy 2881389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So so sorry!! How stressful for you! Xoxoxo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-out-of-ergo#post-2881372 Thu, 18 Apr 2019 21:04:24 +0000 ALV91711 2881372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no! Sorry that you are going through this. How scary! Hopefully he heals quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-out-of-ergo#post-2881370 Thu, 18 Apr 2019 20:58:50 +0000 LadyDi 2881370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no, I’m so sorry that happened! What a nightmare to go through. My son broke his leg when he was 6 months old, I fell on our stairs while I was carrying him. We had a similar experience at the hospital and it was very stressful. On the plus side, babies heal very quickly and he never seemed bothered by his cast! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-out-of-ergo#post-2881366 Thu, 18 Apr 2019 20:35:05 +0000 mediagirl 2881366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I'm so, so sorry! I can't imagine how frightened you were. I hope he's not in too much pain. ❤️ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-out-of-ergo#post-2881365 Thu, 18 Apr 2019 19:10:47 +0000 Foodnerd81 2881365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I’m sorry- that must have been awful! I really would have thought being right over the bed he would have been ok. Poor baby and poor mama. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-out-of-ergo#post-2881363 Thu, 18 Apr 2019 19:07:54 +0000 Mrsbells 2881363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! Yes it has been hard to see him in pain and the broken bone means weeks rather than days of recovery. But I am glad I was right by the bed and he didnt fall to the floor </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-out-of-ergo#post-2881361 Thu, 18 Apr 2019 19:05:12 +0000 erinbaderin 2881361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no, poor everybody! I’m so sorry. Hope you’re both doing ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-out-of-ergo#post-2881360 Thu, 18 Apr 2019 18:31:44 +0000 gotkimchi 2881360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg that’s awful to deal with and I can totally see how that can happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-out-of-ergo#post-2881359 Thu, 18 Apr 2019 18:00:43 +0000 wrkbrk 2881359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I’m so sorry! That truly sounds like the kind of thing that cold happen to anyone and it’s just plain luck that it hasn’t. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-out-of-ergo#post-2881356 Thu, 18 Apr 2019 17:50:01 +0000 bhbee 2881356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so so sorry you all have to go through this :sad: I’ve never mastered back carry and really appreciate the psa. Big hugs :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-out-of-ergo#post-2881355 Thu, 18 Apr 2019 17:42:30 +0000 peaches1038 2881355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my goodness!!! That must’ve been terrifying! I’m so sorry you and your lo had to go through all of that :crying: :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-fell-out-of-ergo#post-2881354 Thu, 18 Apr 2019 17:13:57 +0000 Mrsbells 2881354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been using the ergo baby carrier since 2012 with my oldest child. Yesterday while putting my 6 month old into it (back carry) he squirmed and threw his weight backwards while one leg was already restrained. Despite my best efforts to prevent him falling by holding on to the leg and also reaching behind me to support his weight he landed on the bed behind me and broke his thigh bone! Its has been a very stressful 24 hours including full skeletal xrays, multiple attempts at IV lines and being evaluated for possible abuse and neglect. He is now home and is wearing a hip dysplasia brace for the next few weeks. Just wanted to share my experience in case anyone else uses the ergo for back carry. I fully believe it takes two people to safely use it for back carry. DH has always complained about how hard it is to get on but I have never had an issue til yesterday. </p>
