Supporting newborn head - Moby wrap

[Sarah Lou 80]

I already posted about my Moby and decided to give it a go after wondering if it would be too hot for both baby and me.

I've got the knack of wrapping it and can get baby in but I'm just not sure her head is supported enough.

I've got the wrap on pretty tightly and I've tried the folded method and the gathered way but I just can't seem to get her head in properly. I still feel like I have to hold on to it and it sometimes just pops out. I will try and attach a couple of pics. Not sure how good they will be. I could do with a full length mirror or a selfie stick!!!

It looks like you need to pull the two side bits further across her back so it also goes over her head the whichever way she is looking just pull that side from next to your neck on to/ over the shoulder. Also pull the bit with the label much higher to the top of her head and I always put a Muslim in it then to roll down to just above her neck. Hope that makes sense or that someone comes along in a minute with a better explanation. I tried to upload a photo but can't for some reason from my phone.

Thank you for this. It does make sense

I will have another practice tomorrow. I've looked up the videos on YouTube but they all make it look so easy which it kind of is but I'm obviously missing something. Will try your suggestions tomorrow.

Thanks again!

I always found the moby tricky too. It was almost TOO stretchy and never seemed to hold Sophie's head.

Good luck and keep practicing

I think I've got it. Well, 3/5 times today I got it just right. That's with it gathered up. I'd prefer it folded so might try it again but folded tomorrow.
