best stretchy wrap for nb?

post #1 of 17
Thread Starter 
i haven't had to buy a baby carrier in 4 years, and there have been a lot of new styles/brands since then. i want a stretchy wrap for the new baby, and i was looking for some suggestions.

i would prefer an organic cotton or hemp blend, if one is available.

also, i am short and petite with big breasts, if that narrows it down at all.

thanks in advance mamas!

I have a 2 month old and have been loving the Moby Wrap since she was a few days old!

We've loved our Moby since the first time we put him in it at 2 days pp. He's sleeping in it right now, in fact.

Adding to the moby fan club here! It's by far DD favorite of all our carriers. I was comfortable with her in it as small as 3 days old!

I vote for the Gypsy Mama Bali Baby Stretch. It's a bit less stretchy than the Moby, which means you don't sag as much, and it's comfortable for babies up to 20 lbs, where the Moby gets hard to carry comfortably after 15-ish lbs.
Also, the BBS are beautiful!
One of my friend loves her Sleepy Wrap.......

I had a moby and loved it. My friend had a sleepy wrap and said there was too much bounce for her, she switched to a moby and was happy. I wore mine in the moby comfortably until he was 20 lbs (he was only 6 months at the time, big baby)! good luck!

lol!

after checking out all the wraps, i can't decide!!!

the gypsy mama wraps are gorgeous!

since they are all reasonably priced (after my ergo, $60 seems like a good deal), i may get a gypsy and a moby or sleepy. now choosing between the moby and sleepy is another challenge.

it looks like the sleepy is a little more "structured" than the moby? does anyone have experience with both and a preference for one?

The Sleepy Wrap isn't really structured at all. Just a long piece of fabric with tapered ends. There isn't really much difference between a Moby and a Sleepy Wrap. Just preference I guess.

Which GM are you looking at? I have Aphrodite, which I don't even know if she's still selling that print (I think it's out of stock), and I LOVE the new Arie.

i like the one with the gingko leaves, i think it's called sebastian. i would usually go for something more feminine and deep colored, like the aphrodite (soooo gorgeous, my favorite print actually!), but i am really attracted to the browns and coppers of the gingko print for some odd reason. the arie is really pretty, it looks like my house, all blues and greens and leaves!
