I've been using the ergo with newborn insert for q few days now but have run into a bit of a pickle. Whenever I have it on, although all the straps are as tight as they'll go, the straps still gape and slide down my shoulders.


What am I doing wrong?! Answers on a postcard please... Or in this thread (life when Husband goes back to work depends on the Ergo, am crap With my moby wrap and small small baby.

I know the clip you mean - it's done up and done up tight! Argh, damn my weird posture and body!


SB: thanks for the offer! I'm going to have a good look at the ergo tomorrow and see if I can do a bit of problem solving. If I still can't work out what I'm doing wrong (ergo wise, not parenting wise, that's another thread...) then I'd love to borrow it! Lex loves being worn, which ia fine but not great when all you want is a shower. Ha!

Hmm, have you got the straps high enough? If reaching to do up yourself I'd think you must have, but guessing you may still have hubby at home & helping you?


This really shouldn't be happening so it sounds like something isn't right. Hard to say without seeing you in it though.

Hey I used to have a similar problem,usually after hubbie had used the ergo and loosened all the straps...you've probably done this, but perhaps try sliding the back straps up higher (the ones with the clasp), or tighten the underarm straps as far as possible.


Know what you mean about showers, and also when they fall asleep on you when you haven't gotten dressed yet and screamy toddler needs a trip to the park...


Happy to help in person if you don't know any other ergo-users!

      Hopefully some of you are up for this.  I planted a small meadow a few years ago, hard work on these heavy clay soils.  The start is planting yellow rattle, but I've spent tens of pounds on seeds and plugs over the years and only a few species are successful - ox eye daisy, purple and white clover, with the daisies, buttercups and dandelions that many consider weeds. It's going to be tough doing MMM as I have not mowed over much of the lawn this year, so it will need one hell of a trim in June. Apart from the meadow that is cut three times a year by hand.

      Would be nice if we had updates in the app rather than having to take it upon ourselves to contact them.

      Dulwich pool closed again

      By claresy · Posted

      There was an email to members saying they'd get a refund - but only if they didn't use any of the other local pools - which we'd been advised to do! I've been going to Camberwell or Peckham, which takes up more of my day and costs more in the meantime, but feel very disappointed in the protracted closure as I became a member to use my local pool.
