Sleepy wrap or Moby wrap?

alisha_t · Aug 12th, 2011, 09:35 AM

Well, my first post and I've finally convinced DH that I need a wrap

so that I can get things done

. The sleepy wrap and Moby wrap are both within my budget, but I don't know which is better. LO is 7 weeks old tomorrow. Thanks!

I love my moby! It's easy to chuck on once you've practised a few times. LO still loves his!

I had a Sleepy Wrap which I used up until around 4 months when I moved on to woven wraps. Loved it! There doesn't seem to be much difference between the two really, but I heard that the Moby was slightly more stretchy which can make it sag a bit and need to be re-tightened a lot when the baby gets older.

I have moby wrap. It's great for my 7 week old daughter but tried my 15 month in it and it did sag too much.

Honestly the only real difference I found was that the sleepy was a bit cheaper, LOL!

I second victoriaslinglady!! Branded wraps are so incredibly over priced! They are *just* a length of fabric, and the cheap ones (i have two colours) work fantastically. XX

We have had a moby since she was about 3 weeks old and we both love it but... LO is now 18lbs and I do find it's starting to stretch a bit too much when she's in it. I'm going to be investing in a woven one in the next couple of weeks as I really want to carry on babywearing.

I actually got a Kari me wrap (pretty much the same as a moby). I got it off ebay for about £10 brand new and it is one of the best things I ever bought!!!!!!!
