The Miracle Moby

So I bought this baby sling online a few weeks ago. Julia is a very happy baby - when I am holding her and walking around! I figured a sling that I could wear would free up my hands and also allow me to be close to my darling girl.
Well, I researched baby carriers online and this one had rave reviews. I was kind of surprised when I opened the package - it is just 20-ft long strip of stretchy material! I quickly learned how to wrap it around me and Julia tried it out. She LOVES being in her moby. Now we can do dishes, fold laundry, read books, eat dinner, blog, cook, and do so much more together. I even blow-dried my hair while she slept soundly in the sling. I can position her facing me or facing out. I like to let her "face the world" (as the instruction manual terms it) so she can see what is going on as we gallivant around the house! The moby can be wrapped in different ways so she can be cradled, piggybacked (when she is older), etc. It is incredible and I think every mother should have one! You can buy it online from many different sites. Oh- and they come in a variety of colors. We chose the chocolate because it is so versatile. Pass the news on to friends and family if they don't already know of the miracle moby!

P.S. Best of all, I can kiss Julia's little head with such ease throughout the day - it's right under my chin!

P.P.S. She doesn't LIVE int the moby. She is probably in it for a few hours a day. But those few hours are wonderful for us both!

That sounds GREAT! My kids never quite fit in the other front packs. That one seems to be all sorts of versatile and adjustable (seems slimming too).

I love it! She looks so cute just sitting there. I love the slippers too. And you are looking skinnier and skinnier. I can't wait to see you guys soon. Then she can play with me in the moby.

I love it, I think that will be my new present for my sister and her new baby. Thanks for the advice.
Julia looks so cute in it! What's the site you got it on?

melody said...

Emilie - yes, it would make a great present. I bought it from http://store.attachedtobaby.com/. I looked on other sites and they all seem to be the same price. You could look on ebay, I just wan't patient enough for that!

The moby interested me so I looked it up. At first I was a little daunted by the idea of wrapping it, but the website had a good explanation. Hopefully I remember it in a couple of years when I finally have kids.

What an earth mother you turn out to be! I couldn't believe how you get that thing on. And how much Julia loves it. Cute pics.

Okay, it is now official - you look like a mom. I had my doubts before (mostly because you are my age and it is still a little weird), but you are a mom - 100%. PS - she is still cute.

Yes Julia loves her little star wars carrier.
