I started babywearing with ErgoBaby‘s soft structured carrier when our first son was about one year old and twenty-plus pounds.
So I didn’t realize how babywearing a newborn / infant would be different. For one, I used the newborn insert for about four months to boost and secure our teeny babe in the carrier.
Now that he’s older and riding without the insert, we are presented with a new issue. Sucking. Chewing. Gnawing… Teething!
Our baby is a world-class drooler. Everything goes in his mouth. Everything. And he isn’t shy about letting big gobs of drool pour all over you!
If you’re shocked at my surprise, it’s because our first son rarely if ever drooled or put things in his mouth! Honest. I didn’t even put bibs on him. Ever!
Thankfully, ErgoBaby makes Teething Pads for their carriers to prevent babies from sucking on the carrier itself (which could damage the carrier, I would imagine!).
The Teething Pads come in regular teething pads or organic teething pads. Both are 100% cotton (except snaps) and come as a set of two (well, I guess that might be obvious! LOL). The pads have three snaps to snug them around each shoulder strap right where baby is likely to teeth on them. Although, my baby somehow likes to crane his head around and suck in that corner where the straps join the carrier – maybe Ergobaby will develop a “full-shield” for babies like mine! 🙂
Now our baby can explore as babies do, but the ErgoBaby carrier stays dry and protected! Throw your Teething Pads in the laundry for a fresh clean teething surface each time!
Teething pads are a necessity when you are babywearing an infant, and the Ergobaby Teething pads could not be easier to use!
Do you use sucking / teething pads on your baby carrier?

Yes, I babywear. Moby or ringsling in the beginning. Now, mostly my Beco Gemini (and sometime my RS). I haven’t use any teething pads, but my LO definitely likes to chew on the straps. If these fit the Beco straps, I’ll use them. Otherwise, my friend has an Ergo and her baby is currently teething, so she could probably use them.

It makes sense that this is a thing. My little girl chomps down on the sides of the carrier alllll day. Then there are little (which are really actually HUGE) slobber stains.
I could definitely use this. Haha

I wear the ergo almost daily with my 8 month old. He’s cutting teeth like crazy right now and sucks and gnaws on it the while time he’s in there! These would be a lifesaver!!

Just started using the Ergo and I LOVE it! I’m rather tall, and have quickly-growing babies, and other carriers were just…awkward. He’s not teething yet, but it is a brilliant idea! I do also like the idea of maybe something that goes down around the back, maybe padded so the top of the carrier doesn’t dig into his little head if he’s looking around.

I would love another pair of these. I have 1.5 pairs at the moment. My oldest chewed on everything and I accidentally left one on a Target shopping cart handle.

My two-month old is already drooling all over everything and he sticks his fist in his mouth whenever he can! I’m sure if he could reach those straps by now, he’d be gnawing on them already! 🙂

We have an ERGO and LOVE IT. I have tried other carriers and nothing compares. I have carried both my 2 year old and my 9mo old in it from the time they were born – I call it the magic carrier because it always puts them right to sleep. 🙂

Perfect timing! My 4 month old is starting to gnaw on our ergo straps. Was just thinking that it’s time to get those “sucker” things. Hope I win! Thanks for the chance.

I do have an Ergobaby that my LO and I just love. She will even pick it up and carry it to me when she wants to be in it. She is 10 months old and been doing this for almost 2 months now. As of the last few weeks she has been chewing on the sides, and way more drool than she has ever had before. I would love to try the teething pads!

We just bought the Ergo Performance (used to use the the Moby exclusively) and I’m finding the straps covered in baby spit constantly because he just sits with the strap in his mouth. I was going to google this “problem” and see if this would cause damage to my Ergo, but I found this post instead! Teething pads for the Ergo? Incredible!
