moby wrap question

JenJH923 · February 2012

I know somebody posted something similar to this below, but the thread ended up so far from her question I am not sure it ever got answered!

I carry the baby in the Moby wrap for a good part of the day while i get things done around the house. Do you put the baby in a regular outfit or only the diaper when they are in the wrap? I have just been leaving him in his regular outfit and putting him in. I notice he is warm in there, but I don't think he is over heated. What's the general rule ?

We followed the guideline of "baby needs one more layer than I need". So, if baby is covered with three layers of fabric in the Moby, a diaper seems fine or a light outfit seems fine, depending on what you find comfortable to wear in your house. Plus, it depends if baby's legs are in or out. I would be freezing in my house with bare legs, so I wouldn't expect baby to like bare legs. Remember that the best gage for baby's temperature is the back of the neck. Extremities are not good indicators.

Over the summer I put DD in the Moby with just a onesie and she would sweat. I haven't used the Moby much since she got bigger. Personally, I'd put some pants and socks if the legs are out. If the legs are tucked in your body heat should transfer so you could try with just a onesie.

I usually wear him in just a onesie. I use the fabric of the "seatbelt" portion to cover his legs when we go out to walk the dog.

I think light clothing or just a diaper is fine - whatever is more comfortable for you. As long as babies legs are froggied or tucked into the Moby, should be good. Once baby is older and you do carries with legs out, "Baby Legs" are great!

we have a baby k'tan which is similar and we usually do a onesie or something light. if feet/toes out, we'll do pants and socks too.

Yes to the baby legs! It's so much easier to just pull them off without unwrapping too if the babe gets warm.

We do a normal outfit. If u feel lo is too hot then take off a layer and maybe just a onesie
