Moby Wrap ?

EEN09

Hello:

 

My baby is one week old today and weighs 7lbs 5oz as of this morning... I put her in the Moby wrap, which she seems to love, but then I noticed that the instructions say that it is to be used with infants who are 8+lbs. Has anyone used the Moby for smaller babies-- any special advice if you have done this?

 Also, she's a bit more sideways than the picture in the instructions. Again, she seems happy and her face/ nose/ mouth are not covered, but do I need to worry about her positioning since she's still so new and doesn't yet have neck control?

 Thank you!

I'm not sure how to post a picture... any help on how to do that? Do I need to have an online picture account first? I did check out her chin and there is some space between that and her chest. She's pretty mellow in the wrap.

I used it with LO before she was 8 lbs, just kept a close eye on her airways.

As long as you wrap correctly it is perfectly safe to use the moby.

Are you using the nb hug hold or cradle hold?

To post a pic you can use either photobucket or tinypic.  Load your photo into one of those, resize the photo please, then copy the [IMG] code and past it onto here and thats it

I used the moby with DD when she came home from the nicu at 4 lbs 3 oz and used it until she was 10 lbs. We loved it. I used the newborn hold until she was about 7 lbs then did the reg hug hold and just always kept her head tucked in until she had good head control. I also always monitored her face/nose/mouth, skin color, and breathing.
