ergo for a newborn?

[*charmalea*]

yes we love the ergo here too , i have the infant insert but cant find my ergo dvd , so she just sits on my chest (or back) in a froggy position .. the ergos are great, we are going to sydney next year and borrowing my friends ergo so we can have a 2 yr old in one and a 6mth in the other ...

I love it too. My DD was in it from birth and she was so snuggly - she would be asleep within a minute of me putting her in and would sleep the whole time we were out and about. I never had any concerns about her falling out. The only problem I found was that she is quite long and so she got too long to go sideways in it by about 4 months, and she wasn't comfy in a frog position so I had to stop using it with her until just recently when I was comfortable with her in it in a "sitting" position.

thanks lovelies!!
my concern is that i have toodler group (playgroup) next year with DD1 and may need to wear D? whilst doing craft activities etc... would bubs get in the way IYKWIM?

Nah, it'll be great. I used to have DD#2 in the ergo while I ran up and down playground equipment with DD#1. They get strapped pretty close against you and you get used to where their little legs are pretty quicky (head will be over your heart so no problems there)

At my playgroup (which is in a park) I see many mums with ergos and newborns chasing after their toddlers! And other mums with the toddlers in them on their backs.
