They weren't squished in there or anything more like resting on top. </p> <p>I will try lowering the chest strap in back for sure too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-carrier-without-the-infant-insert#post-2255264 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 10:08:01 +0000 AmandaB8 2255264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Make sure her feet aren't tucked into the waistband. </p> <p>If the straps are digging into your armpits, try taking the chest clip (thas the clip in the center of your back) and raising it up a little if you can and tightening it. </p> <p>The waistband can be anywhere between your hips and your belly button - just play around with it and see what's the most comfortable for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-carrier-without-the-infant-insert#post-2254990 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 22:44:54 +0000 Grace 2254990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: Try lifting her higher. Put you hand under the carrier (on the outside), lift until it feels comfortable and then tighten it more. If I remember right, the waistband should be at your bellybutton. That might help the armpit digging. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-carrier-without-the-infant-insert#post-2254665 Tue, 04 Aug 2015 16:19:34 +0000 MrsBrewer 2254665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Alright I tried it! I think she's high enough! But it's kind of digging in my armpits. Do I have it on right? </p> [attach=1855/15/nsktwm.450x600.image.jpg] [attach=1855/15/nsktwn.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-carrier-without-the-infant-insert#post-2251027 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 10:20:08 +0000 Anya 2251027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep blanket! Like Jess i used the blanket to give her bum a boost. So glad I didn't bother with the insert. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-carrier-without-the-infant-insert#post-2251022 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 10:16:16 +0000 Eko 2251022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: I was just thinking the same thing!</p> <p>Are LOs legs still suppose to be in? Or can they be out? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-carrier-without-the-infant-insert#post-2250997 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 09:54:04 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2250997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When my lo was little I used the feet tucked for a long time. You can look at the insert or online for positioning info. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-carrier-without-the-infant-insert#post-2250986 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 09:50:55 +0000 Jess1483 2250986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: They should be "visible and kiss-able" to you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-carrier-without-the-infant-insert#post-2250981 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 09:47:18 +0000 MrsBrewer 2250981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the suggestion!! </p> <p>How do you know if they are sitting high enough in the carrier with the blanket under the butt? Will it just feel right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-carrier-without-the-infant-insert#post-2250974 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 09:39:41 +0000 avivoca 2250974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can put a rolled up blanket under her bum/feet to get her in the proper position! I wish I had done that with H, I found the insert to be absolutely useless. I'll do this with the next kiddo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-carrier-without-the-infant-insert#post-2250969 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 09:36:31 +0000 Jess1483 2250969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I had a "certified babywearing consultant" (yeah, that's a real thing...) tell me you could use a rolled up blanket--use it like a seat and have baby's legs go on either side of it. Then place baby in the Ergo like normal. If you need more head support, you can also roll a small blanket behind their neck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-carrier-without-the-infant-insert#post-2250963 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 09:30:35 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2250963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>(Under feet.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-carrier-without-the-infant-insert#post-2250962 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 09:30:20 +0000 Boopers 2250962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've read some people roll a small receiving blanket and place it on the bottom of the ergo to help support their LO until they are big enough to not need the insert. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-carrier-without-the-infant-insert#post-2250960 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 09:30:09 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2250960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just roll up a blanket until lo is in a good position. I had to do that for awhile after the infant insert. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-carrier-without-the-infant-insert#post-2250957 Fri, 31 Jul 2015 09:28:24 +0000 MrsBrewer 2250957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 8 weeks, and while I have the Moby wrap, I really want to use our Ergo! I don't have the infant insert though, and I really don't want to buy it now. My LO is now in 3 month clothes, probably about 12 lbs or so and loooong!</p> <p>Think I'll have any issues?? </p>
