Maya Wrap - Amazingly Cute

We love Maya Wraps.  A Maya Wrap was my first wrap.  Like most first time baby carrier moms, I was a bit intimidated by the Moby Wrap and Ultimate baby wrap because of the tying that is involved.

It’s Easy

The Maya Wrap is one of the simplest baby carriers out there.  It’s a long cloth that you fold in half lengthwise, loop through a pair of rings, place the baby in and pull snug.  It takes no time to get these on when your rushing out the door.

Comfortable

The wide fabric can be spread across a large area on your shoulder, distributing the weight.  Our baby loved it too, enjoying many positions depending on how active or sleep he was.  The baby can cradle, sit up,  hug your hip, face in or face out.

Fashionable

I’m not kidding, these slings come in so many different designs it’s ludicrous.  I picked out one with a prominent red color and got my husband to enjoy wearing it.  Many celebrities have been caught wearing various designs, so there’s definitely one out there for every taste and budget.

Top sellers go for around $59.  You can definitely go higher as designs and fabrics get more elaborate.  Click here for more information and to see what people who have bought them suggest.

mobysunscreen Baby Sling with Sunscreen?

Moby Wrap with SPF 50

This is cool.  Every summer I get a baby UV sun protective swim shirt to fit my growing boy.  Now that same material, or an equally effective variation, is available for a baby wrap.  This SPF 50 Moby Wrap is one of the top sellers on Amazon right now with free shipping and returns as we near Memorial Day.

Moby wraps can seem intimidating, at first – they did to me.  But, I discovered after practicing several times I got the hang of it.  It’s even easier now that Moby Wrap has baby sling instruction videos demonstrating how to do it safely and easily.

Now that summer is upon us and you’re aching to get out, this is the ideal solution to get to your summer hot spots without the baby fussing.  Wearing your baby gives you the freedom to move around while rocking your baby comfortably along – just where she wants to be anyway, right?

As you can see from this picture, baby slings are not just for moms anymore, it’s catching on with dad’s too!  Brad Pitt, among other male celebrities, have been photographed wearing their babies in a sling.  So, make it a father’s day gift that you and your baby will love as well.  Learn it together and have a happy summer with your baby, showing her off at eye level wherever you go this summer.

The Moby Wrap Original is one of the most liked wraps on the market. It is amazingly comfortable for both the parent and the baby.

YES! It is possible to hold two babies in these carriers. In fact, it’s the easiest way I can imagine putting that much weight on your body. Since slings hug the baby to your body, your center of gravity is minimally changed – reducing the pressure to the back normally experienced by picking the baby up.  Strapping the baby to you puts the baby right where she prefers to be, minimizing the number of times you need to bend over and pick her up.

Benefits:

  • Uses the entire back and shoulders to the distribute weight
  • Wide piece of fabric to wrap over both shoulders
  • Keeps baby warm while freeing both hands
  • Develops a strong and secure attachment to parents
  • Can be used for a preemie to 35 pounds child

Additional Info From The Moby Wrap Manufacturer

Unlike other carriers, which have narrow straps or go across one shoulder, the Moby Wrap is a wide piece of fabric that is wrapped over both shoulders. It is amazingly comfortable and easy to wear. There are no buckles, snaps or other fasteners. It is easy to adjust the fit of your Moby Wrap by varying how tightly you wrap yourself and your baby. Be secure, the Moby Wrap comes with an easy to follow instructional guide, with the single stretch cotton and the width of the Moby Wrap, your baby is wrapped close and tight, insuring a secure hold.

The Moby Wrap is long enough to adapt to your growing baby.

AMAZING REVIEWS

Of the 274 customers who reviewed the Moby Wrap Original on Amazon.com, 184 gave it 5 of 5 stars while 53 gave it 4 stars.  Of the people who hated it, and gave it one star, it looks like most of them just called it one long useless piece of fabric that they couldn’t put on and manage.  I was intimidated at first as well, but after learning how to tie the wrap a few times and following some baby wearing tips from Dr. Sears, found here, I was very comfortable wearing my baby every way possible by the second week.

The wrap is long for a reason, and once the baby is wrapped there isn’t much excess fabric to worry about.  Any excess cloth can be tucked inside a pouch or used to wrap once more around your waist and tied off.  The softness and stretchiness of the Moby Wrap fabric makes it very comfortable.  And, your baby will love hearing your heartbeat as you walk around freely to do your thing.

Our happy baby in a baby wrap

There are about a million variations on the baby sling.  When my son was born, I put him in a pouch, but I simply used it the way I had seen other moms using it, and my son didn’t like it at all.  I didn’t realize that there are certain guidelines for how to safely use these slings. (link to sling safety)  Apparently, the wiggling and grunting is reporting by a lot of parents who tried to carry babies this way – the grunting is their struggle to breathe!

Then I found the Ultimate Baby Wrap.  Okay, it looks continue reading…

CRW 0051 300x199 My Story: How I Started With Baby Slings

So comfortable and happy in the baby wrap

Like expectant moms, I had a baby bjorn waiting for the new kid when he got home.  The bjorn was great for long trips out, and my husband loved using it.  But with a colicky baby, I needed something I could wear around the house all day, and yes, night, because I was certainly never going to keep track of where I last took the baby carrier off.  As I said, the bjorn was nice because its adjustments were always perfect, and my husband felt it was more manly than his alternatives.

So I started asking around, borrowing baby carriers and looking for deals where I can buy new baby carriers on sale.  I justified the expense a few ways. continue reading…
