Ok I get it....

First off forgive the format I'm on my phone. Ok so Before I had a baby I made fun of the whole baby wearing thing. I thought the wraps were for the hippy crunchy people and that wasn't me. Fast forward and here I am with an almost 5 wk old who during the day doesn't nap well unless I hold her all day. I have the baby Bjorne but find it rough on our skin and i read all this stuff about it being bad for babys hips. So I broke down yesterday out of curiosity and slight desperation and got a moby. All day Rylee has been a little cranky and fighting sleep until I put her in the moby. She lasted about a minute and passed out. She's been asleep almost an hr now and I'm comfy and so is she. I admit defeat and offer apologies to the hippy crunchy moms lol. Next thing you know, I'll be cloth diapering! ?

Re: Ok I get it....
I heart my Bjorn and the Moby
The Bjorn is nice to keep in the car, that way I can just plop her in it for a quick trip into Target/grocery store.
Haha! I'm not super into attachment parenting, but I LOVE my moby. I can pull her out of the carseat and put her into it to run errands and I can grocery shop, etc. without having to worry about lugging around that stupid carseat. And at home I can do dishes, laundry, etc (in fact I find the white noise of the sink and washing machine actually help her calm down!)
We have an ergo too for when she outgrows the moby, but for now she's definitely more comfortable all snuggled and warm against me.
Welcome to the crunchy side! It's nice over here!
I love love love our wrap. DS hates his car seat unless he's moving, so when we go out to eat, we used to end up holding him and eating one handed. I knew he liked his wrap, but I didn't think about it until a friend suggested wearing him at dinner. OMG! I can eat 2 handed! I also wear him when we go to the grocery store, and around the house when I need to get stuff done and he refuses to sleep anywhere but my chest.

April read my mind!
As for the CD's...do it! do it! do it! lol
Since a friend lent me her Moby it didn't come with instructions. She showed me but it really didn't sink in. I watched a couple Youtube videos and also went to mobywrap.com They have really good pics and instructions- not sure if they're any different than the instruction manual but I found them very user friendly.

I felt the same way before I was pregnant. I thought baby wearing and co-sleeping were the craziest things ever. Cloth diapering sounded like a pain and natural childbirth... puh-leez. Then I got l knocked up it all changed.
Glad you and LO are more comfortable these days. Happy baby wearing!
