ERGObaby Carrier Review & Giveaway CLOSED

I think I've unlocked one of the greatest secrets to minimal stress parenting with a baby.  Yep, it's true.  This new Mama has a great secret that I'm about to share with you all! 

I've previously posted about my most recommended baby items (birth to 4 months and 4 months to 8 months), and those posts have been very popular.  I know when I was a new mom I read reviews and asked other moms what their favorite products were. 

I think as moms we are looking for stuff to make our lives normal and natural, all while being convenient and getting the most for our money AND while still taking care of our babies.

In honor of my daughter India's first birthday, I've chosen ONE item that I have deemed as a must-have, and amazingly, this company has offered to do a giveaway!  If you are only going to choose one item from my Top Ten lists, or want to know what the most useful item is with a new baby, this is the item!

My daughter at 6 months, in my favorite baby item: an ERGO baby carrier

The ERGO baby carrier!

Why do I think the ERGO baby carrier is the number one item that every parent should have?

• Baby can nurse, sleep and take in the world while being close to parents
• Baby decides who, how and when to interact
• Mom gets a lot done
• Instantly calms child
• Comforting for both parents and child
• Ergonomically designed to safely carry your child
• Baby's weight is evenly distributed, no soreness or discomfort!
• Suitable from birth to toddlerhood
• One size fits most adults
• Can be put on without any outside assistance
• Multiple carry positions: back carry, front carry, hip carry

When India was younger, she loved being nestled close to mein the front carry and took many naps in the ERGO carrier while I was doing dishes, laundry, cooking, and going on walks.  Now, at almost 12 months old, she loves the back carry, in which she can look around and take part in everything, but still be close to me!

Those are just a few of the reasons why I love the ERGO baby carrier and recommend it as the number one baby item for parents!  This is an investment that is highly useful and I consider it not only my number one, must-have baby item, but one of the most useful things in my house!
