Ergo carrier

My daughter is 10 weeks old and close to 13 pounds with fairly good head control. Do I still have to wear her in the insert? It's a billion degrees out and I'm afraid she'll be miserable.

take the pillow out (if you have the ones with a pillow) or use a little blanket to make a seat for her.

Try it without the insert and see where her head is. If you need to, you can pull the butt cushion out of the insert and use it on its own in the ergo, if you need a few more inches of height.

We ditched the insert and the pillow by around 11 pounds and maybe 23 inches.

Ok, she was 23.75 in at her 2 month appt, so we may be good without the pillow or a blanket. I'd really just like to take the insert back. Can we stick her legs out now, or do we need to wait on that?

We never did an insert- when he was still a little short we just rolled up a towel under his butt.

It depends on what she's comfortable with. C still prefers frog-leg at almost 4 months. I don't think his legs are really long enough to stick out of the Ergo (he has a long torso and short legs). Try it and see how it works.

I carried M with a blanket folded as a seat until she was almost 6 months.

We still use the pillow from the infant insert and A's 6 and a half months old.
