When did you start using it? Did you find it hard to put on?

Got it at 2 weeks and used it right away. Pita to put on, but not hard to figure out I watched a YouTube video that helped.

I like it but it is kind of warn and DD is a sweater. Use my baby bjorn more often, just bc it's easier to get on.

I started to use mine when DD was ~3 weeks old. I would have used it sooner, but didn't have it yet.

The first time I put it on was a challenge. I watched a few you tube videos and in no time I was putting it on without even thinking about it.

DD loved that thing. It was a life saver for us. Give it time.....you will learn exactly how tight to wrap it and where to put it on your waist, how to slide the baby in easily......

Got one at a couple months in. Hard to start, but you get the hang of it after a few wears.

Re: Moby Wrap

I got it with my 1st and she was about 2 months, so with my 2nd I use the day we came home from the hospital.

Once I was shown it, it tried it myself and it reallyis not hard. I did it infront of a mirror, then in time I could do it anywhere.

Re: Moby Wrap

i started using it when ds was about 3-4weeks old. i loved it. i loved him being close to me and snuggling.

it was a pain in the neck to put on at first but then afterawhile you just learn to do it like second nature.

like a pp said - youtube videos helped a lot.

also it sounds corny but i would practice different holds when i had no place to go just to get used to the different ways to wrap it.

good luck!

Re: Moby Wrap

I was never good getting her into it in the cradle hold but starting around 10 weeks I was able to do the front facing or inside facing really well and even though its a PITA to get off (the on i can do) I like it better than the Bjorn.

Re: Moby Wrap

it's not really that the moby is hard to put on (after a few uses its easy to figure out), but i found it to be a hassle. i hated having to wrap it every time and it got so hot. i also would have fabric drag on the ground and get dirty. i actually ended up getting a baby k'tan becuase it does the same things but is easier to use, and we love it.
