If it's too hot or not fitting, another carrier would be better.</p> <p><a href="http://pinkandbluemag.com/hacking-baby-carrier/" rel="nofollow">http://pinkandbluemag.com/hacking-baby-carrier/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-right-newborn-in-ergo-pictures#post-2612112 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 21:10:13 +0000 avivoca 2612112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks good to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-right-newborn-in-ergo-pictures#post-2612111 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 21:09:44 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2612111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alba4: check YouTube for a tutorial if needed! Just roll up a swaddle and kind of sit their butt on it. Works for my 11ish pound 9 week old peanut! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-right-newborn-in-ergo-pictures#post-2612108 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 20:57:16 +0000 Alba4 2612108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.. champagne: Looks good! I've been using my Maya ring sling, since it's too hot for the Ergo insert here too! My gargantuan boy (15 lb 8 oz at 10 weeks old) is too heavy to wear comfortably on one shoulder! I'm attempting the Ergo tomorrow! You've inspired me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-right-newborn-in-ergo-pictures#post-2612103 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 20:40:36 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2612103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: I'm using a muslin blanket too. Seems to be ok. </p> <p>@JoyfulKiwi: I think her legs stayed like that! I could kiss her head and it was up right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-right-newborn-in-ergo-pictures#post-2612101 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 20:34:40 +0000 gingerbebe 2612101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks fine. We tucked a rolled AA muslin under my baby's tush for the same reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-right-newborn-in-ergo-pictures#post-2612097 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 20:23:53 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 2612097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not an expert but I wore my newborn in a similar carrier (a boba) and that looks okay to me. Is she snug and do her legs stay in that "froggy" position? If so, and her head/airway are clear and in a good position, then I'd say you're doing fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-right-newborn-in-ergo-pictures#post-2612093 Sat, 27 Aug 2016 20:14:08 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2612093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is two months old. She likes to be held a lot and I cannot get my baby ktan to work. I think it's too big. </p> <p>Anyway, I watched a few YouTube videos about using a blanket for a small baby in the ergo instead of the insert. The insert is way too hot in my opinion to use right now. It's really hot here currently. </p> <p>Does this look ok? Not at all?! I wore my son in the ergo but when he was like 9 plus months and never before that. </p> [attach=2620/16/ocli68.450x600.image.jpeg]
