AW- Lily in Moby

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

We bought a Moby! DD loves it way better than her PS sling. Here are a few pics from last week. The only thing I don't like is putting it on outside. I try not to drop it on the floor but its sooo damn long. imageimage

    It's so soft! She loves having her legs out and looking at the world. You'll love it.

    I bet she would. She is extremely curious and observant.

    Very cute!  I've used mine twice because he hated it and I hated putting it on.  I should really try to sell it.

    hey - just thought I would let you know this - I actually got stopped on the street while carrying my baby in a forward facing carry in my sleep wrap....

    While I dont see any problem with things in moderation, it is always good to have the info... in other words as a mom who did this carry myself, I am not judging just sharing  :)

     

    Why don't you have the forward facing baby carry on your site? Is there something wrong with carrying my baby this way?

    The forward facing carry in any baby carrier places pressure on the pelvis and spine. When your baby is facing forwards with legs unsupported, the baby's back is essentially arched instead of rounded. The center of gravity is different which makes the carrier tend to compensate when walking as well. Some sites that sell baby wraps and carriers advise you to only use this hold for a limited amount of time and that no developmental damage will occur if the baby is not placed in this position for hours on end. We can't wholeheartedly recommend this position as we believe that any pressure on little developing hips and spines is undue. Moreover, all the weight is essentially in the baby's most sensitive place. When your baby is facing forward his legs as well are not supported. Your baby's legs should be pulled up to a ninety degree angle. This is possible only if the fabric covers the whole back of the thigh, virtually up to the backside of the knee. It also does not provide good head and neck support, which is most desirable when your baby falls asleep. Of course it is nice for your baby to be able to see the world. However, in the front carry your baby can't turn away if the environment becomes too overwhelming. You cannot see your baby's face and it's tougher to read your little one's cues. We at Sleepy Wrap do not advocate front carrying or think it is a good position for either mom or baby.
