Moby wrappers - anyone?

After getting over my initial fear, I got the kid in it. He cries a little when I stick him in the newborn hold (I think his legs may have been too squished) but once he's all wrapped up, he falls asleep and I get my arms back! If I'm doing this correctly, this Moby will be my favorite thing ever.

However - I'm worried about whether he's slouching. He tends to slip down so his nose is level with my boobs. And although he's sleeping away, I don't want to mess up his spine development by keeping him in an erroneous hold for 2 hours (or more) a day. 

I tend to think the ginormous wrap supports his bum and distributes the weight but couldn't find anything online about it. Looking for some experience. TIA.

Re: Moby wrappers - anyone?

  • I hate wrapping. I always felt overwhelmed. I bought a ring sling for the tiny stage. And now I use an ergo and pikkolo. 

     

    I would snap a photo and post it on the AP boards they can tell you if baby is in a safe position.  

  • Also key to an carrier. You should be able to kiss the top of their heads. You should also listen to their breathing. 
  • I always wrapped Luciana upright where her head was up on my chest. I was worried if I did the cradle that she'd suffocate.

  • What's the AP board? I do not venture to the baby boards.

    He's upright, just tends to fall/slouch when he sleeps. Breathing is good.  Plus I obsessively check that he's breathing.

    I am rolling my eyes hard. Seriously those ladies know a lot about carriers and carrying your baby safely. Just because there are some crazy folks on message boards  doesn't mean you need to avoid them as a whole.  

    It is More important to me to make sure my child is safe. No one is going to dive bomb your post convincing you need to follow attachment parenting.  

  • i thnk i google funny swaddle or something.
