Don't have any experience with the hybrid wraps but I do believe they're on the thinner side, which can be uncomfortable on the shoulders. You will have to tighten up everything super evenly as you're wrapping to make sure on little...

Oops, that didn't come out right. If I make sure she gets good naps in the wrap, then we have easier nights. Obviously wearing her around isn't exactly like having a break, but it does make life easier, baby happier, and night time...
