No Sweat Baby Gear

I am looking for a baby wrap and I am getting confused with all the brands out there.?

I was told that the Moby wrap is great although with the material being stretchy it isn’t as effective when baby is over 15 pounds or so. I was told to get a woven wrap. SO far I have looked at the Metro mamma, Ella Roo, the gypsy gauze. I am confused. I already have two snugglies and a sling that just dont’ work for us.

Check out this website.. It has an overview of all the different slings/carriers and lets you know the features of each.

Personally I use a Moby wrap and an ergo carrier. The Moby is VERY comfortable and great to use on a newborn. The only con (in my opinion) is that there is SO much material that it’s annoying to put on several times a day or in public where the material will drag on the floor while you put it in. My baby is 3-months old and weighs about 14 pounds and i am TOTALLY comfy in the moby! i have no problems with it at all…

I also got an Ergo carrier which i’ve been using more often lately. It’s very fast/easy to put baby in/out of the carrier. Much better than a baby bjorn too b/c the bjorn puts all the pressure on the baby’s crotch which may cause problem with his/her spine. The Ergo has the baby sit on its butt so it’s much better for him/her. Also the weight limit is waaay higher for the Ergo than it is for the bjorn. You can only put the baby in facing you (can’t face outward). Another good thing is that the Ergo fits both me and my husband!

If you can, try to go out and try on different carriers/wraps. Ask your friends if you can try theirs out. I don’t know where you are located but the Pump Station in Santa Monica has a bunch of different wraps/slings/carriers that you can try out and they also have free sling clinics!!

woven wraps are nice, but pretty pricey. the moby is $35-40.

For the long term, I highly recommend getting the ergo over a wrap!
