What's your favorite wrap?

[goodmomma76]

Ok, here's the question of the day...I want to hear about your favorite wrap...

She likes my Bjorn and she likes the Maya wrap, but doesn't love either one, and so I am thinking of trying something else...

She has to be in the upright position because of the reflux and screams if she's lying flat....

So what's your favorite wrap and why???

Havn't gotten my mei tai yet

So far I love my wombfruit wrap.

Works like the moby, but so much cooler and eaiser to put on as it's light weight. I love the support for a newborn and the ability to cover her almost completly when she's sleeping. Also the quick in and out and I just leave the wrap on me most of the day. I wear her upright as she hates the cradle hold and still facing me.

For a stretchy, I'd recommend the gypsy mama bbs (bali breeze stretch) as it is a hybrid wrap and will hold more weight than a moby-type wrap.

For others, the possibilities are endless! Storch is a great solid wrap - a used leo is nice and soft. Didymos wraps are great - I think the waves and indios are awesome and again used/broken-in is scrumptious! Hopps are solid and sturdy and soften up nicely. Girasols are soft right out of the box and there are some great colourways floating around fsot (there are often exclusive colourways that are only made for a particular store, but fsot on tbw is a great place to find one at a good price). Happy shopping!

Depends on what I am doing. Nothing gets him closer than the Moby, but I don't love wrapping. I wear him upright in a ring sling when out running errands--my favorite ring slings are Sakura Blooms, but I only have bought used ones as they are pricey. My favorite for ease to put on is mei tais, and that is what I used almost exclusively with ODS. I have many different favorite brans of mei tai, but prefer a padded waist and wider straps. Again, I mostly buy used.

I've been loving my Didymos indio wrap lately - so versatile and super comfy with my 22 lb DS on my back. Also love my OMT (wrap-style Mei Tai) and my regular mei tais. I'm hoping to get my hands on a custom MT slot for a 'scandinavian style' MT (super padded waist, wide body for toddlers) and I'm thinking of investing in a nice girasol wrap. I also like the Ergo as a car carrier.

Okay tried the kozy MT. I like it for lets air circulate, fast to put on, doesn't make my back feel hot and will be really nice for hip and back carry for older baby, easier to nurse in.

As for infant...still like the wombfruit wrap (cotton gauze) best so far. Cooler than my moby, keeps baby close, doesn't pull my shoulders forward.

Ergo will be better than the kozy for toddler with back/front carry.

now I"m changing...loving the kozy MT. figured out the back issue, wasn't crossing the straps low enough and had to roll the bottom up one for an infant. Lo and I are lovin this. May not use my wraps anymore...we'll see maybe once the heat rash clears up.

While LO was asleep on my chest on the sofa, I was able to put this on without waking her. Big plus!!!

my refluxer liked to be upright in the ring sling -- have you tried that position?

[lillyfire]

I also like the GypsyMama/Wrapsody BBS for long carries. But we do upright in a ring sling for out and about. Easier to nurse in for us.

I had two refluxers and my second liked my mei tai, but hated the ring sling. We never did anything, but upright in all carriers. I now have a moby wrap for my third baby and I have no dought my refluxers would have loved the moby. My sil has a refluxer and her son likes her moby. It is really hot in the summer, but we don't go outside much right now.
