Moby hip hold? Tips needed

WYEngTeacher

Anyone on here successfully use the Moby Wrap in the hip hold position? I just tried it for the first time and can't figure out how to make it feel "secure." It seems like if I let go of her, she'll fall right out the back side. Do you tuck the back arm (or both) under the material? If not, I can't figure out how to spread the material high enough up the torso for it to be supportive. However, she doesn't seem to want her arms tucked in there.

Thought I'd post on this board instead of 0-6 since more moms on here might have tried this hold (bigger babies). TIA!

I have but I also had my arm around him the whole time...so that's probably not terribly helpful.

Your DD might also be a little small for the hip hold.  I haven't personally tried it yet, but will soon.
