Moby wrap for dummies?

lesliemostly · March 2009

I might be the only person in the world who has trouble figuring it out. I know how to wrap it according to the instructions, but I have trouble with it being a little too loose then DS sags down in it....I dunno. He seems to like it, but he is a little bobblehead and doesnt like his head covered/held down with the strap but I feel like it wobbles too much without it. He doesnt like the cradle hold from what I can tell (only tried it once and he screamed the whole time), but tummy to tummy is ok if his head wasnt so wobbly. He has pretty good head control and loves trying to hold it up constantly, but Im afraid he will hurt his neck. Its like I either have him positioned too low or too high and cant get it right. Are there any other positions/wraps for babies around a month old besides tummy to tummy/hug hold and cradle hold?

Any tips or anyone wanna PIP of DC in the moby so I can get a better visual?

my DD is almost 2 months and we still can't find a position in the moby that she DOESN'T scream in.

i have the same problem as you, the straps always feel lose no matter now tight i try to make it first. anyway i did find some helpful videos on YouTube when I first got it - you could try there!

I have the same problem - the moby feeling lose. This is my 2nd baby and I'm still trying to figure the thing out.

If you go to the Moby website they have some video demos and instructions.

I always do the regular hold (tummy I think), and if DD starts flailing her head around, I just pull up the tagged part that goes around the back up to cover the back of her head. I don't think that's "official" but it seems to work for us.

If you do tummy to tummy, you can tuck his head under one of the side pieces for support. Youtube has lots of videos that might help.

My LO didn't like the fabric covering her head unless she was asleep, so I usually just had to help her hold her head with my hand until she could do it herself (in the hug hold). To get it tight enough, just make sure when you put it on it's much more snug than you think it needs to be. It will stretch as you put the baby in.
