Favorite baby gear? - Page 2

I would like to try a Moby but it looks SO difficult. Wonder if it would be big enough for me...

Also I looked in Target for Soothies and couldn't find them...

It's hard to imagine a woman of any size whom the Moby wouldn't fit -- it is really big. I have to wrap it around a couple of times at the end to take up the slack, and there's still extra after I tie it. That's at least 30-36 extra inches on top of my 28 inch waist, so it should fit a waist well into the 50s (possibly 60s) even accounting for larger breasts (though mine are an F cup, so not too many bigger than me ).

It's really not hard to use, either -- once you get it down the first time, every time after that is easy. It took me under five minutes to learn. It helps if you have someone else show you, though. The instructions are good, but not as good as a real person, IMO.

I have also looked high and low for Soothies with no success, despite many recommendations from local friends. I will have to ask them where they're shopping.

I think it would be plenty big actually. You can tie it behind your waist or in front so it would probably work for you. You can also leave it on for running errands etc. I had it on for a few hours the other day, just pop him in and out to get in his car seat and onto the next errand. So it's not like you have to re-tie it every time...It was a little hard the first few times, but not bad now (keep in mind I've only had the thing for a few days!)

I found Soothies at BRU. If you can't find them anywhere let me know and I can pick some up and you can send PP...

My boppy. I could not live without it.

And (soon) the bouncy seat. We have a swing from James...but she's not 'in love' with it...I was at my girlfriends yesterday and put DD in her bouncy seat (the same one we got Dria it's under our Christmas tree) and she loved it, just sat there, occasionally reached up and hit the toys...it was great.

My swaddle blanket...it netted me 3.5 whole hours of sleep last night!

Have you guys checked Baby Depot at Burlington Coat Factory for soothies? I haven't looked specifically for them since I don't need them, but they seem to have every baby/nursing product under the sun.

I think it would be plenty big enough for you, but I'm not really liking how stretchy it is. I feel like James is going to outgrow it too quickly, like his weight will cause it to stretch too much for me to feel comfortable carrying him in it. Since Lachlan is pretty big, I thought I'd mention it to you so you can maybe try one out before buying one.

Of course, it could just be his squirminess - the little twerp was standing up in the Moby the other day, with his feet pushing against my waistband. :

I would have to say my moby and my kkafp. They are the best.
