Angelpack LX for a (large) newborn, or Ergo heart to heart insert?

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
The Angelpack says it can be used starting at 10 lbs. Any feedback on this? I have an almost 4 week old...she was 10 lbs at 2 weeks. I am currently using a Moby but am struggling with it somewhat. I feel like I tie it the same way every time, and yet have only been able to get her in it "just right" one time. It is like a new experience every time I go to use it!
I have a kozy carrier and a ellaroo mei tai, as well as an ergo, all of which I liked for my son -- but I didn't get them until he was a few months old.
Or, instead of getting another carrier should I just get the heart to heart insert for my ergo?
Thanks!
Abby

An AngelPack should work fine with a 4 week old, but you will probably need to keep their legs in a froggy possition inside the carrier.

as long as your dd is securely inside the aplx, with the straps snug enough so she's held firmly against you, it's fine. froggy her feet and make sure she's sitting on her flat feet (not on her pointy toes) -- her feet will be parallel to the hip belt, toes pointing towards the outside of the carrier.

honestly, with what you have i wouldn't bother with the ergo insert. try using your kozy -- it's one of my favorites for a little baby. the high back carry is an advanced skill, but if you're up to trying it, it's soooo liberating! see the kozy site for pix. but even if you just want to do a front carry, it's a great MT for newborns/little babies. same rule about froggy position/feet position applies as for the aplx, and tie the knot at the center to lower back, not the bum.
