Nursing in a stretchy wrap




1. Starting from an upright carying position, pull the middle section of fabric down and out of your way.

2. Peel back the shoulder panels and lift your baby straight up and out of the Moby Wrap.

3. Position baby so that both legs are on the same side -Ideally NOT on the side where the fabric is closes to your body.

4. Carefully hold baby's head and neck and lower him down into the shoulder section that is closest to your body.

5. Reach under the shoulder section where the babys legs are sticking out and spread the fabric closest to your body so that is is supporting the baby's head, shoulders, and bottom.

6. Spread both pieces of fabric to support baby's bottom and pull up the logo section for added security and privacy.

 Generally we find nursing in a stretchy wrap can be difficult. The Moby Wrap and Boba Wrap are great carriers but if the main goal is to nurse in a carrier, we would recommend a non stretchy wrap like Girasol. Non stretchy fabric is easier to adjust. Of course other good nursing carriers are ring slings. 

Try to keep your baby’s body and head in a straight line when nursing. Think about keeping your bodies stomach-to-stomach while nursing.
At home, practice nursing in your Moby™ without wearing a shirt. While out, try wearing nursing shirts or button-down shirts to avoid having to tuck and un-tuck your shirt from under the Moby™.
Remember that your child will become more comfortable with nursing with practice and that babies are wonderful at using cues to tell you what they need. Some babies do not like the fabric over their heads while nursing. Some babies prefer to nurse in the upright position like the Hug Hold. Be patient and be willing to try different positions.
