Who doesn't love a Moby?
Well, if you don't have one or you haven't put it on ten times, you may say like one mom, "I have not been able to figure the Moby out.... Hopefully someone can shed some light on this confusing piece of cloth for me. :)"
Just what is a Moby Wrap? Literally? It's 18 feet of soft, stretchy fabric that comes in luscious colors and designs. A Moby is a wrap for carrying your baby or babies- yes, some figure out how to use it with twins. This is my top choice for all babies, even preemies. Why?
- It keeps your baby in an upright position, which is so crucial for proper breathing.
- It keeps your baby snuggled to your body-how else does a baby know you are there?
- You can stay skin to skin-Kangaroo Mother Care- with your baby.
- You can rub and massage your baby as much as you like, which is important for neurological development.
- Your baby will stay warm and completely relaxed, so she can grow.
- And...your arms are free to do all those other things mothers always have on their lists.
Make sure you proper instructions. Put it on and take it off until you have mastered it. Now,
- You can even go to the bathroom without your baby crying.
This all sums up to spell FREEDOM for you and LOVE HAVEN for your baby.
I've heard from other moms too about their experiences with the Moby Wrap. Here is what one mom, Amy, had to say.
"The Moby has made a huge improvement in quality of life for both me and my 7-week old daughter. She used to have a tough time sleeping during the day, because every time I put her down, she would wake up and start crying. That meant I would spend the entire day holding and soothing her. Now when she gets tired and starts to cry, I put her in the Moby. She is usually asleep in 10 minutes, and she stays asleep!
I think she enjoys being held snug up against me. Now that she is sleeping better during the day, she very rarely spits up! It has been great for me too; both of my arms are free to do things around the house. I can cook, clean up, answer the phone, and work on the computer (and even take a trip to the bathroom). It's also great for taking her on walks.
We are both so much happier these days."
