If your baby has acid reflux you will have to keep baby upright for at least 20 minutes after a feeding. I used baby carriers because they allowed me to have my hands free and still attend to baby's 20 minute requirement. Often times the baby would fall asleep in the carrier. I think it's best to have the baby already swaddled so the transition from baby carrier to swing/crib/pack'n'play is smooth. No need to wake the baby.
Here are the combinations I recommend. Be sure to buy the correct size.
Ergobaby + SwaddleMe
Tuck the legs into fetal position.
K'Tan + Woombie Leggies
Ergobaby + Woombie Leggies
While I was hands free I could tidy up the nursery, go for a walk, throw a load of laundry in the wash, and meal prep in the kitchen. Or if he was fussy I could bounce on the medicine ball while the white noise machine was playing in the background. Being hands free is so much better than being stuck.
Venting: I absolutely HATED the Ergobaby Newborn Insert. DO NOT BUY IT. IT IS TERRIBLE!
