How to use Ergobaby Aerloom - Newborn and 3 month old baby - 2 methods

If you’d like to see how to use the Ergobaby Aerloom with an older baby, please see my video here: • Ergobaby Aerloom with ...
Here I demonstrate the Ergobaby Aerloom in the newborn setting - with a newborn demo doll and a c. 3 month old demo doll.
I use two different methods - clipping behind your neck and pre-clipping. You can use either method with any age of baby/child.

Does this carrier provide a good M position? And is it ergonomic? It seems like the y’s back is quite straight instead of nicely rounded.

Thanks for your question. All Ergobaby carriers have been certified hip healthy by the Hip Dysplasia Institute. In fact Ergobaby were one of the pioneers in ensuring baby's legs and hips were supported ergonomically. Used correctly, the Aerloom supports baby ergonomically, adapting as they grow. When they are little, the carrier supports them with a gentle curve to their spine, knees higher than bottom, carrier from one knee-pit to the other. The carrier panel gives a lovely 'scoop' to support baby in an ergonomic position.
As they grow and develop the carrier becomes wider, to continue to support their legs knee-to-knee, and supports their spine development accordingly (so when they achieve full head control, when they start sitting, when they crawl and when they walk, their spine position will change).
Obviously I'm demoing with a doll - not a real baby - and dolls aren't quite so easy to adjust to exactly the same shape as a newborn. I hope that's helped answer your question though 🙂
