Hi ladies! With DD#1 I never used a carrier. Mainly because it was entering the warm months. But with DD#2 on the way very soon, I think it would make my life a little easier if I carried her, since I will have a 17 month old to take care of at the same time. I'm pretty positive I'm getting the moby wrap, but wanted to find out first hand how those of you who use it, like it. I need something safe and secure for every day use.
Thanks ladies!
Re: Just curious- Who here uses the moby wrap for everyday use?
3 more miscarriages and finally a correct diagnosis (septate uterus) and a corrective uterine surgery later, our second blessing is here!
I have used a number of different carriers beween DS #1 and DS #2... my thoughts are:
Moby wrap - great for breastfeeding in, great for carrying newborns... get's really hot though... i do get a lot of compliments on it though as it is kind of fashionable when it's done up... it can stretch out though a little so you need to re-wrap occasionally... also I couldn't see carrying my son up to 35lbs in this one as I don't think it would be secure enough for that, but DS is currently 12lbs an is fine in it still.
Baby Bjorn - great for bottle feeding, has the ability to forward face the baby... no ability to breastfeed in it though... but DH loves this one
Ergo baby - only good for infants if you buy the additional add in part... my toddler loves it as he goes on my back, but he didn't like it until a few months ago.
Slings (i.e. hot sling) - completely useless and unsafe as I never felt DS #1 was secure enough in it.
