please explain when I would use a Moby?

WheeBorn · July 2009

I've heard that people love them, but what times do find yourself using your moby? I feel like my shirt will be all bunched up underneath and annoy me. Also, does it get hot with the baby in there? I plan on breastfeeding so will it be useful at all for that?

thanks for your opinion!

I made my own version of a moby. We use it around the house. The baby loves being in it, and I'm able to get lots done with him perfectly happy.

I imagine I'll use it when we go out, I just haven't been out too much yet. You can nurse in it, but I haven't mastered that yet.

Around the house when you want to get things done and LO doesn't want to be put down.

In a store when you are tired of using the carseat, or when they don't have carts to put the seat in.

I use it for walks, because LO likes to face out and look around. She is too small to sit up in the stroller and look around.

DH used it to climb a mountain with her in it. LOL. It was Stn Mtn here in GA, so its not like he was in the wilderness or anything. Its in a park.

My shirt never gets bunched up under it. I PPH it!

When DS wont sleep the Moby is the only sure way I can get him to nap. ?It seriously saved my sanity. ?Buy one now!

your shirt does get bunched up while tying sometimes, so before you put the baby in, smooth it out. the moby is good (especially early on) when the baby wants to be held 24/7 and screams otherwise. its good for NIP, walking, running errands, grocery shopping. etc. dd hated her car seat in the beginning so this was our life saver (now she just cries when we put her i it or keep her in too long) and doesnt want to be restrained by anything (including them moby)

Around the house when I need to get things done and she doesn't want to be put down; at the store; when I need to walk the dog and don't feel like going for a long walk and getting the stroller out.

A lot of girls like it, but I found it way too hot. I've only used it a few times so maybe I didn't give it a chance. But we were both sweatin our a**es off!

I suggest trying a "My Baby Nest". It does everything the Moby does but it is easier to use in my opinion (I have both). The fabric doesn't need to be tied so it doesn't get bunched up and is really comfortable to wear and easy to use.

I have my LO in the wrap right now! When she is fussy and doesn't want to go down for a nap I will put her in the wrap and she falls right asleep. It is a great way to calm a fussy baby. It is also nice because your hands are free so you can get housework done or type on your computer, eat lunch, etc. I also use mine when I go to softball games, shopping, family functions, etc.

I use it when I need to get stuff done around the house and he just wants to be held. Or if he's really fussy it calms him.

I use it when I'm going to be in a store for a long time, like grocery shopping. I haven't nursed in it, but I know you can.

I also use it to walk the dog when I'm home by myself.

It can get a little warm (and I live in Florida) but I don't use it if I'm going to be outside for a long time.

I use it instead of a stroller on shopping trips.

asnowracer · July 2009

I don't have a moby but I have a www.piggysack.com and I use it in some form or fashion every single day. Trips to the store, around the house, I second what the PP said about when he's fussy but won't go down I put him in there and he usually falls asleep. The moby looks too hot for me.

I have BF'd while hiking and when I was walking around DC (with a cover over top of us.) Granted you could probably tell he was eating under there but I didnt care...I wasn't stopping!

I just got my moby and love it so far!! i used it walking around the mall for hours! she slept the whole time whereas in her stroller she would have screamed!! Last night we went out to dinner with the fam and had her in it. She slept and then when she woke up and was hungry i breast-fed her in it! Its very convenient when you need your hands free anytime.

coconuthoney · July 2009

I love mine! DS always takes his morning naps either on me or in the moby. Really convenient so I can get some breakfast or lunch and putz around the house. I've used it at the grocery store as well but never nursed in it.

carmenlarue · July 2009

Im a believer too! I put it on when I get home when Im preparing dinner, trying to get her to sleep she can't help but to conk out. Also when Im by myself and I don't want to haul the stroller. I just learned to do the BF wrap and I haven't tried yet to BF.

It is the only place my LO naps during the day. I use it to clean around the house, walk around in stores (people are less likely to come up and peek at a baby when you are wearing it versus in a stroller or car seat) and pretty much anytime I want to soothe him. It does get hot, I keep the AC up in our place and don't wear it outside right now. I still love it and think it is a must buy.
