Moby Wrap

One long piece of fabric can intimidate many, but I highly encourage you to consider the Moby Wrap for the first few months. The wrapping is pretty simple once you get the hang of it. Baby conks out when put in it b/c of the proximity to parent's warm chest. It is a lifesaver. Really. It is better than the other carriers because the baby is more secure than a sling and the stretchy fabric fits mom right after baby and then goes down with you as you hopefully go down. Fits Dad and everyone else easily as well. Machine washable. What more can I say? Be brave and try it. You will be so thankful you did.


Instructions:
1. Fold in half
2. Put tag at tummy
3. Wrap around waist
4. Cross over back and place over shoulders
5. Cross in front and tuck tails under waist band
6. Tie off at back (or around to front again if you are skinny enough)
7. Place baby inside facing you with the cross under her bottom and tuck her head in
8. Fold up waist band over baby for added security
