A newborn neccesity

This is called a Moby Wrap (www.mobywrap.com). It is a long piece of cotton fabric that you wrap around yourself to hold your baby. It's an alternative to a Baby Bjorn or Snugli and I think it works much better. I couldn't get over how happy Addie was in her Moby Wrap. She could fall into such a deep sleep in the wrap and I could get so much done. I gave the girls baths, cooked dinner, went on walks, etc.

It felt great on me. My shoulders didn't hurt, like they did with my sling and the Bjorn. THe Bjorn hurt both shoulders and the sling hurt one shoulder.

The other great thing with the Moby Wrap is that you can use it for many other holds. You can use it in a front carry, a side carry, a back carry, etc.

The only downfall is that it is kind of a pain to put it on. But way more easy to put on than the Bjorn when someone else has used it and adjusted it to their body size.

So, there's my newborn tip for you new moms!
