Learn to love Moby? Or different sling/wrap?

Anyone's LO hate the Moby at first and then learn to love it?  Or hate the Moby but love a different sling/wrap?

My DS seems to HATE hanging out in the Moby, although he certainly loves to be wrapped up and held close.  I want to be able to take a walk with him or just do some things in the house and tote him along hands-free, so considering getting a different style sling/wrap but I'm not sure if he'll like that either - - is it the Moby itself or the whole sling/wrap concept that gets him all peeved off??

Anyone had success with a Moby later on, or found that their LO hated one type of sling/wrap but loved another?

 Thanks!

  • I'm afraid to spend money on the MOBY but I do have and have used the Bjorn, she seems to like it but I don't use it alot. SHe has fallen asleep in it too! gl w/ the Moby, he might learn to love it

  • I'm bigger, so the regular wraps/slings never seem to fit quite right. So we use the baby bjorn. DS LOVES it! I can keep him in it all day and he's happy as a clam. I even tried on pants with him in it yesterday. I'm a big fan.
  • DS would only go into the Moby when he was asleep until he was old enough to sit front-facing in it.
  • Learn to love - but try it again in 2 weeks.

    It's wonderful once you and DS get the hang of it.  You have to keep at it for a bit to get the hang of it - go to the website & watch the videos - that helps too.

  • Never tried a Moby so can't be help there. But for DS we had a sling and he hated it and it got really heavy on my shoulders. I bought for DD a wrap from loveyduds.com, she also has an etsy site. I love it and so does DD. So much more comfy too.

  • I have a moby style wrap and the first few time I tried it I tried DS in it in the comma hold ( laying down like in a sling). He hated it! Then I decided to try the kangaroo hold (upright, feet in froggy position, facing in). He loved that. He almost always falls asleep when I have him in it. I think he likes hearing my heartbeat. Maybe experiment with different holds. Once you find one you both like it is easy to remeber how to do that one. Good luck.

  • Thanks!  Guess we'll keep trying it and see if he learns to love it.  I fogot we have a hand-me-down Bjorn so maybe we'll try that one and see if thats any better.  Thanks again!!
