Moby Wraps are great if you love baby wearing

Moby WrapI really like Moby Wraps. If you are someone that is in love with baby wearing then this is for you. I bought this for my fourth child. Before this, I have used the Baby Bjorn, Snugli and a Sling Ezee, all of which I also like. But the Moby Wrap is in a different class for me. My son really seems to like it too. It is so soft and unstructured so it really conforms to his body and just seems like a more natural position for him. This wrap definitely takes some work on your part especially in the beginning. If you are on the go and just want to throw a carrier on and go then this may not be the one for you. You do have to learn (initially) the different wraps and holds (and there are a few), but it does not take too long and once you have mastered them you can set up the wrap in just a minute. You can nurse in it too - once you have mastered the wrap for breastfeeding, which I have still been finding a little difficult and need to put more time into practicing. The Moby Wrap is also machine washable and you can put it in the dryer too, which I love. One of the other great things about this is that because of the way you wrap it, you really take the strain off of your back and neck. The more you spread the fabric out across your back and shoulders, the more evenly the baby’s weight is distributed. My baby is over 15 pounds and I could carry him for hours in this. I can’t say the same for other baby carriers I have used in the past. I really recommend this if you are really into baby wearing. Check out the different colors and patterns of Moby Wrap.
