I have been doing tons of gardening with ds in the Ergo. One problem: he loses his breath, or can't breath well, when I bend over. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

Is he on your front or back?

it's not comfortable for little ones for a lot of reasons for mama to bend at the waist. try squatting/bending at the knee/kneeling down instead. i spend all of easter sunday with my DH and the kids planting blueberry bushes and weeding and such with the baby on my back, but if i would forget and lean over she squawked and pulled my hair to remind me LOL it's better for your body as well as hers to get out of the habit of bending at the hip anyway.

No, even if I squat (I don't bend over) this happens.

perhaps you have it cinched up too tight. try loosening the straps a bit so there's more space.

Ok, I'll try that. That's not a bad idea! Thanks
