Most of you have already seen me wearing my baby in these fun and functional wraps. This is a picture from last year with my friend Jamie.
Since then, a lot of my friends have jumped on board with my version of the Moby Wrap. Except that the fabric I use with mine are more breathable and better suited for my girlfriends in places like California, Vegas, St. George, Texas, etc. :) My girlfriend, Staci, just sent me a wrap she made, (since I can't find the right fabric here in SLC area), that is shorter than the one I made for myself, so I can use it in a "hip hold" wrap with my mongrel baby. I LOVE it, and honestly wish I could have more babies JUST so I can carry them around in these wraps!
Well, I figured since Eddie is nearly 1 1/2 yrs old, he was too big for the front wrap. He didn't think so. Yesterday, with his bulging molars, and inability to calm down, I threw him in the wrap, fully prepared for my back to give out since he is so big. NOT SO! The second I started to slip his legs in, he stopped crying. It was actually just as comfortable as it used to be when he was smaller! He started to fall asleep right away, but woke up once I started taking pictures.
And then he signed for food....what a way to eat!
I love my wrap SO much, I even called Moby Wrap to give them some suggestions for making a new version with the fabric I use. (Staci, I will call you later about it, I offered to send them some swatches of "tested" fabrics) Almost every mom I know who has a Moby Wrap, doesn't like to use it because it's too hot. The fabric I use is still stretchy, but VERY breathable. Call me if you need any info. I hope I can get Moby to start manufacturing a breathable version so moms in hot climates will have more options. :) Join my campaign to wear your baby!!!

Love it love it... the wrap is amazing!
Tara,
I am veryinterested in these wraps for my new little one...to be born on September 10 (hopefully not sooner!). I have a Baby Bjorn carrier that I hardly used at all with Clara, but from what I hear the wrap is the way to go. Do you sell them? The Moby wrap is a bit expensive for me right now... just trying to explore my options!
here here!!! i'm totally on board. i wish i had a baby right now so i can have the kind of back support i need. This wrap idea is the BEST. Moby should pay you. :) oh!.. and also... let me know if staci is going to look for fabric for us... i really wanna start putting my own wrap together.
We love moby wraps! I think every new mom should wear her baby! Most people I talk to about it think they look complicated... but they really are verra easy and more comfy to use!
Yours are sooo cute! I think you and Staci need to open a shoppe! ;)
you know i'm on board!!
So cool! I love my wrap as well! I did, however, purchase a Moby Wrap and do find that it is extremely hot! I like the quality of the fabric but it doesn't breathe as well as I would like, especially in the hotter times of the year. I'm on board if you need any help! Thanks for the post. I'm glad that Staci has been able to make some for herself. I will have to try it for my next babies that come along:)

okay- I seriously need one of those for Luka. I thought since he was 8 months I was past the "wrap" wearing but it looks like I could still be doing it. Where the heck to I get one of these anyway- with the cooler material. Let me know the details.
yeah, i must be really behind here, because i have never heard of these! but i REALLY want one! where do you get the ones with the cooler material? they sound and look AWESOME!
Amen!! LOVE LOVE LOVE my Moby wrap!!! I tried a Maya and a New Native sling, but Hannah HATED both of them.
I couldn't go ANYWHERE without it!! I love that the Moby keeps them right up against you and I always felt like they didn't swing around with every movement like with the Bjorn. I hated our Baby Bjorn carrier. I'd love to hear more about the fabric!!
