A Baby Carrier is Mom’s Best Friend

Many debate the merits of feeding on demand, nap schedules, and the like but I basically just did what was practical for me. I am not sure I was as easy-going about making these decisions with my first, but by the time my second child came, and I had observed a variety of mothering styles – of friends and acquaintences, I was not nearly as stressed about these decisions for her. Instead of changing our life for the baby, she joined ours. She came everywhere with us (I nursed exclusively, so she had to) and it didn’t matter what time the activity was. But I have to say again, I could not have done it without my Ergo baby carrier. I nursed in it (while hiking, shopping, or preparing dinner) and my baby napped in it as she pleased. Of course I took time to nurse her in a rocking chair and lie down with her to nap, but I had the option to do it on the go as well and with an older child already, that was often necessary. I started my business, My Favorite Baby Carrier, because I think this carrier is the best thing since sliced bread – not because I was even looking to start a business. Every Mom will make her own decisions on how to parent her child(ren) – but whether you invest in a crib or decide to co-sleep, I guarantee that you will not be sorry that you invested in an Ergo baby carrier which you will use for years for your newborn, baby, and toddler.
