due in June....moby or sleepy wrap?

akayf

I'm due in June.   I have an Ergo but didn't like it for the newborn stage(I have the old style infant insert and never really liked it)    

I want a stretchy wrap for the first few months until I can use the Ergo without an insert.    Which is better for the summer months?  Moby or Sleepy?

I think a stretchy wrap is the best for newborn snuggles.I would go with a Gypsy Mama Bali Breeze, they're very breathable and thin.  The SleepyWrap and Moby are both heavier.  Another stretchy that's super soft and breathable is the Anaju Bamboo.  Here's links to both

Definitely NOT a Sleepy. I have one and I love love love it, but my baby was October. It's THICK sweatshirt like material -- not good for summer months. I wore it all fall over a thin shirt as an extra layer.

This is not to say it's bad at all -- just not a summer wrap.

They are both thicker material. I suggest a ring sling! They aren't as much material, if you plan to bf they are easy to nurse in plus you can use it up to toddler age! With a stretchy wrap after about 15 lbs they aren't comfy. https://sleepingbaby.net/ She has great slings for awesome prices.

I had my DS on may 30, and probably only used my moby a dozen times because it was so terribly hot.  I agree that a ringsling might be a nice option.  Or the gypsy mama wraps (although I haven't used one personally, I hear good things.  And they are really beautiful.)

I won't post an opinion eithder way because I only have a moby and DS was born in Nov. I loved my moby but we are moving on to wovens.

I will say I'm selling my moby, in EUC, for cheap. PM me if you are interested in it. It is Moss w/ bag and booklet.

Neither ;-)  Not that there's anything wrong with either but they are both hot IMO.  If you want a stretchy, the Bali Baby Stretch is thinner and more supportive (so it can be used longer and is safe for back carries).  It's still not as thin/cool as thinner wovens though or a gauze wrap like the Bali Baby Breeze if you are really worried about heat.

i have a Baby K'tan Breeze which is half mesh, so it is very breathable. i also think it is way easier to use than a wrap, so i love it.
