We love baby wearing, almost as much as we love cloth diapers! We didn't discover it until Little L was well past infancy. Probably around 9-10 months old. It was, and still is, the best thing that's happened to us. Little L is a super clingy child and has always been a momma's boy. We had such a hard time keeping him quiet in stores, while he sat far away detached from us in his car seat or stroller. It's no wonder children hate those things! If only I knew my solution was so simple. Babywear! After discovering babywearing I've had my eye on Moby Wraps for a very long time, they always looked so comfortable.
Moby Wraps come in tons of different styles and types. Be sure to check the site out to see just how much they offer, and at great affordable prices! We received the Sienna colored Moby Wrap and I fell in love instantly. The fabric was soft, yet durable enough to hold my growing 16 month old baby boy. I was unsure about whether he would enjoy it because we've not yet tried this type of carrier. I was growing tired of the ring sling, due to the fact that Little L's increasing weight and size was beginning to cause my shoulder to ache after a short amount of time. The Moby wrap was spread evenly across my back and shoulders, It felt very evenly distributed. There are many different ways of carrying your baby with a Moby Wrap. You can read about those HERE. I am excited to use this for future babies, I hear that it's a great asset to nursing! I was a little intimidated by the instruction booklet that came with the wrap, but about 10 mins later I realized it isn't difficult at all! There are great pictures and step by step instructions for each position possible! Pair that with great customer service, and you have no problem at all.
