Three years ago, when I had my first son, babywearing was a completely foreign concept to me. I’d seen people trying the conventional carrier thing. And I registered on a whim for a sling. But beyond that I just didn’t get it. The sling I received didn’t fit right, the baby hated being in it, the carrier hurt my back, and I resorted to bringing a stroller everywhere.
This time around, I had to figure out babywearing to save my sanity. A fussy-in-the-evening baby and a fussy-all-the-time toddler just didn’t mix.
After trying on a bunch of different carriers at local consignment shops, I settled on a Moby Wrap. All they had was pink, but it didn’t matter to me. It was on sale, and I didn’t have to wait for shipping. I took it home, watched a quick video online, and in minutes I had a content little football sleeping against my chest.
Instant babywearing addiction.
Thanks to my wrap, I was able to go to the grocery store and Target with my 3-year-old in the cart and my infant sleeping peacefully against me. I didn’t have to worry about whether an infant carrier was securely fastened to a cart. And he was never more than a quick kiss away from me.
Now that I know how quickly babyhood passes, babywearing is especially nice. More cuddle time for Mama.
When I started trying to get my friends into babywearing, I did some research into wraps and learned that there are many different varieties. Some people make them at home, others sell them on Etsy and small personal shops. I found only two “major” companies making them. The Moby Wrap, and the Sleepy Wrap. Personally, I adore them both. They advocate babywearing and help moms learn how to use wraps properly.
Sleepy Wrap sent me a gorgeous red wrap to try out so that I could learn first hand what the differences between to the two are. I’d like to discuss my experiences with both wraps to help you decide which is right for you.
Why a Wrap?
A wrap allows you to wear baby snug and secure. Because you’re tying it and getting the baby in there, you’re completely in control. It’s just one big piece of fabric. No confusing buckles or straps. I love a wrap’s versatility and I think it looks nice on. I have gotten comments every single time I’ve gone out with my son in a wrap. I’m not exaggerating. Every. Single. Time. People want to know if it’s hard, where I got one, and where they can get one.
Getting Started
The Moby Wrap doesn’t have much stretch to it. I found that this makes it a little easier to tie on initially. It doesn’t seem to twist as much. Since it doesn’t sag when the baby’s in it, you can tie it exactly where you want the baby to be positioned. The Sleepy Wrap twisted it bit but other than that was about the same as far as performing the initial wrap.
Getting Baby In There
Because the Moby Wrap doesn’t stretch much, it can be a little strenuous getting baby in there if you want a nice tight fit. When my baby is sleeping, it’s important to me that he’s pretty secure so that he can sleep soundly while I move around. Because the Sleepy Wrap has give and “snaps” back into place, it’s much easier for me to get baby in there once the wrap is on me. I’ve also found it easier to secure his head under one of the front panels if he’s fallen asleep during use.
The Sag Factor
While it’s easier to get baby in there with the Sleepy Wrap, I did notice a small sag factor. After a few test runs, I learned to tie it VERY tight before putting baby in. Once I got it down, I found a fit that worked for me. With the Moby Wrap, the baby feels slightly more secure against me, which can work better if you’re going to be wearing your baby for an extended amount of time, or if you have a heavy baby.
Because of the differences in material, you’ll find that you need to re-tie the Moby Wrap if you take the baby out and the need to put him in again. (Diaper changes, nursing, etc.) With the Sleepy Wrap, depending on the size of your baby, you can get him back in there without completely starting over. However, I personally felt the need to completely re-tie with both the Moby Wrap and the Sleepy Wrap.
Is it Hot?
The Moby Wrap is a little cooler in the summer than the Sleepy Wrap, because the Sleepy Wrap has a slight terry texture on the inside. But I wore the baby in my Sleepy Wrap for two hours in 85-degree weather during an outdoor art show with no problem. During the colder months, both make a great way to keep the baby warm. I could easily go out with him in footsie pajamas. Some people get creative and wear special jackets and wraps made specifically for babywearing during cold weather. Cool stuff.
I found it an added bonus that I could tuck his feet into the “tummy panel” in sunny weather to keep them out of the sun. Add a wide-brimmed hat and you’re good to go. (Though I always try to stay in the shade as much as possible.) Moby Wrap actually makes a UV-treated baby wrap for extra sun protection.
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre psp This Looks Confusing
I’ve tried several carriers and slings, and despite looking complicated, wraps are the easiest for me to get on. As long as you follow the manufacturers instructions (for instance, the Sleepy Wrap needs to be tied tight and high) you’re good to go. YouTube and the Sleepy Wrap and Moby Wrap websites have awesome babywearing videos and babywearing tutorials that will you get you started in minutes. Many babywearers use wraps for several different holds. This is a personal choice. I prefer to wear my baby facing me in the front.

Since we are coming into summer, I would like a light color to kepp the baby cool, I like the natural, khaki and light pinks.
Ok, so this is my 3rd baby, but the first time I ever gave baby wearing a shot, mostly out of necessity, to still be able to run after toddlers. I love it! I got a black moby to give it a go, and I was sold. It took a bit to get used to, but now it’s super easy. The only problem is the black is REALLY hot outisde with the summer coming, but other than that, the baby seems to love it.

Fentonslee at gmailI’d want the Royal Blue Sleepy wrap and the Pacific Moby
(I’d really like the purple sleepy, but its out of stock, lol)
My first child and baby wearing was fail. She had a snugli. I couldn’t figure out how to get it off and on and her I and out of it without a huge dramatic fuss, and then she seemed miserable and my back always hurt. With my son now, he loves being worn in his pouch sling that mama made him. I love having him close, but sometimes I think a wrap would be better because I’d feel more secure.
I like the red from the sleepy wrap and the moss from the moby.
I love babywearing! I get alot of stares when I have my son out in public in one, but he loves it. I love that I can get things done around the house, and he usually always falls asleep in it within minutes. I’m constantly asked about it, and where they can get one. I’d love to have an extra to give to someone the next time they ask!

In the Moby Wrap I like Moss. In the Sleepy Wrap I like red.
I have two boys. For both of them I used a hotsling. I like it but after time it did hurt my back and shoulder. With my youngest I really wanted to try a wrap. I did some research online and was just overwhelmed by how many different kinds there were and didn’t know which to choose so I just stuck with my hotsling. My little one is 14m and I still wear him when we go places. He loves it. He is getting heavier though and my shoulder hurts within minutes. I am getting a sling with the next kid for sure!

Baby wearing experience? Well, I don’t have any kids of my own yet. But, I have been a nanny for a few kids & I have enjoyed using baby slings. They are easy to use & comfortable!
Here is my 2nd entry. I RT your giveaway :o) (housegoddess5)
sleepy wrap in dark green and a moby in moss, please!
You are so right that with a toddler and a newborn, baby wearing becomes a necessity. I wish I had spent the money on the right thing the first time. Three carriers later, and I still don’t have it. Time to get a wrap and do it right! My sling has come in very handy though, especially when in Walmart, toddler in the umbrella stroller, waiting in line to see Jimmy Carter. No way the sit-n-stand would have been right in that store, too big!
Okay, so … I like the Sleepy Wrap in Dark Green (I think it’d look so nice with Maia’s skin tone), and the Moby Wrap in Pacific (that’s a unique shade!)
As far as my babywearing stories… I love babywearing! I knew I wanted to do it as soon as I started reading about it. Although I asked and registered for a wrap, I was given a Baby Bjorn. It’s cute and Maia loves it, but it’s only good up to 25 lbs or so and apparently there are concerns about how it impacts a baby’s hip/spine development, so I don’t use it around the house. I’m getting a mei tai from a Twitter pal in BC, which is AWESOME, but I still would love to try a wrap — everyone I know that has one loves it!

I really like the orange sleepy wrap and teh sienna moby wrap since I don’t know what i’m having right now!
I have a Moby already and I love it…I would love to try the Sleepy too! I have the Moby in Pacific which I think is a great neutral color. I would probably choose the orange in the Sleepy wrap. If I won I would share these with my friends in order to convert them to babywearing!

I would love to try this kind of carrier! I have a sling and bjorn and while I love the sling, these look awesome. I would choose an Organic Natural Sleepy Wrap and the Chocolate Moby!
As of right now I don’t have any baby-wearing experience. I’m giving birth to my first any day now (I’m 4 days from my due date) and am convinced that baby-wearing is what I want to do, both for bonding purposes and because it seems easier to wear the baby up 3 flights of stairs to our non-elevator accessible condo than to carry up a car seat.
I just subscribed to your blog.

I would love black from either company. I have a brown wrap (wahm) and a natural ring sling so black is the next color!
I like the gray Sleepy Wrap and the moss Moby Wrap.
I’ve been too scared to try wraps! I use the Beco Butterfly, and get comments on it all the time. I also have a Hotsling, which I used a lot when my baby was small. I should bust it back out now that I can try the hip carry.
I’d advise anyone thinking about babywearing to go for it, but be aware that not all babies like it. My firstborn would have NOTHING to do with it. So I’d say don’t invest a lot in any carrier until you get to know your baby. Maybe start with a cheap sling or wrap to see how it works out.

I have a ring sling and a Moby wrap. I love them both. I can nurse in them both and my daughters loves them too. I like the Moby for longer trips out since it distributes her weight evenly. I only use my stroller for carrying groceries. I would most likely give one of these to my BFF who is due exactly 1 year from my daughters due date. :)
My fave color sleepy wrap is orange!
My fave color Moby wrap is Sienna!
Both my babies absolutely loved to be worn! It made a great experience!

I find wearing my baby to be so much more convenient then using a stroller or one of those portable car seat thingies. Using a wrap is light weight, makes her easy to carry, isn’t hard on my back, and we can still fit through the aisles in stores. Plus both my hands are free. An added bonus is the bonding time of having my baby close to me 24/7 AND i can nurse in our wrap. What’s not to love?
I would get the sleepy wrap in Organic Natural and the moby in Natural. I like to keep things neutral. :)
I tried baby wearing with all 3 of my lo’s but never really had much luck. I have a bad back and just couldn’t find comfort in either of the things I used. I used the Baby Bjorn carrier with my 1st 2 and with my youngest I used a Maya ring sling. I have seen Moby wraps before and would love to try one. It looks like it would support the baby more and take some of the strain off your back better.
I like the moss moby wrap and the grey sleepy wrap.

I would love the light blue sleepy wrap and the moss moby wrap colors.
So far my only experiences baby wearing are with a mei tai and limited use with a toddler in a ring sling. I found out about babywearing when my son was 3 months old and ever since I started wearing him I’ve and I think he has loved it. With my next one I plan to start baby wearing from the start.

I love babywearing, it has helped me when we were trying to move and I needed both hands.
I have worn my daughter when I was hanging her cloth diapers on the clothes line.
Honestly I wish she liked being worn more. She always wants to be help but only worn sometimes.

I actually have a great baby-wearing experience from today! DD, who is almost 13 months old, woke up cranky this morning, and was even crankier AFTER a morning nap. I was just starting to make cookies, but she was being super clingy. I dug out DH’s wrap, since mine wasn’t here, and strapped her on. (I actually found out I liked his better!!) She was quite happy and content after that! She also helped me lick the beater, so I ended up with cookie batter all over my front!

I tried babywearing with traditional carriers (BabyBjorn and lookalikes), and they kill my back. I tried a weird not-really-adjustable ring sling, and the baby HATED it.
When the baby was about 4 months old, I got a “Peanut Shell” sling. I love how versatile and easy-to-use it is. I’ve even tried nursing in it! Still hurts my back, though not as badly as the other carriers.
I like the moss in the moby and the organic khaki in the sleepy wrap.

I haven’t really gotten to learn anything about baby wearing yet, except that my son had NO interest in it whatsoever!

I used a Baby Bjorn carrier with my first and second born. For only a few months with the first because the boys are 11 months apart and my first was getting too heavy to be lugging around while pregnant with the second! I used it quite a bit more with my second. I would have loved something that could have transitioned to a hip carrier when they got bigger though, and I didn’t know about all these different options then. Now that I’m pregnant with my third, I would love to give babywearing a serious try!

to be honest, I have never tried babywearing with my children-however my first grandson was just born last week and it is something that I would like to try. In my hubby’s home country of Guatemala, the women have been doing it for years. Your review was very informative, and my son and his girlfriend are also eager to try this.

I love the dark green in a sleepy wrap and of all the moby’s the dragon moby D is my fave, but in the regular moby’s the forest and moss are beautiful…
I wore my son in a homemade wrap for a long time when he was little and it was a life saver.. i had a heavier satiny type material at first a lighter weight indian cotton type one later.. i just wished he stayed still long enough to still use it.. oh well.. on to the next baby….
I love the black Sleepy Wrap and the red Moby Wrap.
I’m expecting my 3rd child, and my older children are 4 1/2 and 6. I don’t think wraps or slings were as popular when I had my last child. At that time I had a baby bjorn carrier, but my son didn’t seem that comfortable in it so I opted to ditch it and just use a stroller. Now I’m definitely in the market for a way to wear my baby so I can have my hands free.

I love love love to wear my baby when I’m out and about. With my second one I wore him a lot at home because I still had to chase around the 1st and didn’t have as much time to lol around on the couch with him all day! Love it!
I like the sleepywrap in orange and the mobywrap in pacific!
My sister has a wrap and used it a lot. I’l love the Sleepy Wrap in royal blue or the Moby Wrap in indigo.
For the sleepy wrap, I kinda like the orange. Weird. For the Moby wrap- I am so excited because I totally just registered for one of these in Brown! awesome!
Babywearing comment- I wore both of my babies, and I loved it. I even went to class a few times wearing my toddler (as an infant) and he never budged. I love it- I love the benefits of them being so close, and I love having both of my hands and knowing that they are safe.

I would absolutely be thrilled to death to win these wraps. Unlike most momma’s I NEED two wraps because we’re having TWINS! And pushing around a double stroller in places like church or the mall sure draws a whole lot more attention to us than I’d really care to have. Two wraps would allow us to visually separate the babies so we don’t get constantly hounded by twin curiosity questions. Pretty please, can I win? ;)
I love the Moby in Moss and Would love a Sleepy Baby in Tan for the hubby. Thanks so much for this giveaway!
i like the sleepy wrap in ORGANIC -Natural
and the Moby in natural
i started baby wearing with my first baby when she was a newborn. and i continued to wear her, in wraps, then slings, then MeiTais until she was at the max weight, and i was too pregnant to carry her. with my second child i wore her in a wrap til she was 25lbs, then switched to the MeiTai. at almost two she still loves to be worn when we are out and about. its been a bit help with nursign as well, i can just pop her in the carrier, pop a boob in her mouth, and go!
I would love to win a red Moby and an Orange Sleepy Wrap.
I would love the organic Khaki sleepy wrap and the black Moby wrap.
I wore my baby in a Maya wrap. Babywearing has come so far and I would love to try some other wraps. I loved being able to be hands free and am hoping that some other carriers mught be more comfortable than my previous carrier.

I love the sleepy wrap in Dark Pink and the moby wrap in moss.
I love babywearing. Emma loves it too. It makes my life so much easier. It allows me to have both of my hands so I can keep up with my two year old all while holding Em! Love it!

With my son, the only time I really used the carrier was during our Kangabounce classes. With my daughter, now, I find myself using it all the time. It’s so much easier to walk my son to preschool with her in the carrier and holding his hand than it is trying to navigate the stroller so I have one hand free to hold his. Also, I’ve used it while playing cards,eating, etc. so that she’s happy and being held close to me but my hands are still available to eat/play cards… I definitely find it indispensable now!

Looks like a great wrap and would be great to carry my son around.
I’d choose the Sleepy Wrap in Organic Natural and the Moby Wrap in Indigo.
organic natural for the sleepy and natural for the moby. Awesome giveaway!
I’d choose the Indigo Moby Wrap and the Organic Natural Sleepy Wrap. Thanks so much for the giveaway & the chance! I’d love to try baby wearing and have had a difficult time deciding which option is best. I don’t want to spend until I’m sure.
One of my twins (or both!) always wants to be held, leaving my hands occupied and me unable to accomplish anything else (a good excuse for cuddle time). I would like to carry them and have my hands free. That would be the best of both.
I like the Dark Green Sleepy Wrap.
I would love the gray Sleepy Wrap and the moss green Moby.
I am due in July and have been trying to decide which wrap to get. I have actually been trying to choose from the Moby and the Sleepywrap. I wore my first child too. Loved it! So much easier than using a stroller. I also loved the closeness it gave us while doing everyday things.
Subscribed. Thanks!
I would pick the Green Sleepy Wrap and Sienna Moby. Thanks! thebubbledies(at)gmail(dot)com
We’ve been using a SlingEZee since our child was born and I love it. He is now 10 months and about 21 lbs and I can still carry him comfortably. I now sit him on my hip where he can nurse and still fall asleep if he needs to. Thanks! thebubbledies(at)gmail(dot)com

SleepyWrap.com – Gray
MobyWrap.com – Chocolate
I love to get colors that can be used for girls or boys, so that the wraps can be used through multiple babies. :)
I have never tried babywearing but is looking like a great way of bonding with baby.

I love the brown sleepywrap and the chocolate moby. What can I say… I like wearing brown :)
I love the Indigo Moby Wrap and the dark pink sleepy wrap
My first experience with babywearing was with a pouch sling I made myself. I did a bit of research and was really interested but didn’t want to spend a lot of money on something I wasn’t sure I was going to like. I found out that I love it! and I’ve since tried ring slings, mei tais, and pouch slings. I’ve yet to try wrapping.
sleepy wrap=dark green
moby=chocolate
thanks for the giveaway
I would love these for my friend who just had her first child last week.
I like the Moss Moby Wrap and the Dark Pink Sleepy Wrap.
Thank you for the nice giveaway.

I never tried a wrap with my daughter, but I wish I had. I tried a carrier that was awkward and weird and bulky for her and for me too. I put her in it and her fat little legs dangled and she looked so uncomfortable and hot that after a few more attempts I just gave up and carried her in my increasingly muscle-y mommy arms.
I love the organic natural color in the sleepy wrap, and in the moby wrap, I like the chocolate color

I love wearing my daughter! I use a ring sling mostly, but I love how I can get around without a big stroller.

i am a babywearing nut! If I run into a friend and Im not wearing one of my two babies, they act like Im not feeling well:)
I like the organic khaki or the indigo. Fairly neutral colours
i like the sleepy wrap in the brown and the moby in the natural.
i have a four month old boy, who is 18.5 lbs already. i’ve only tried wearing him in a ring sling, but i don’t find it very comfortable, and a bit restrictive as far as me doing things with him in it. i had looked at buying a wrap instead, and i still might if i don’t win, they just look way more comfortable than a sling.
Moby wrap in pacific and sleepywrap in red.
I like the purple sleepywrap and the lilac mobywrap!
I have a four month old baby girl. I had a sling for her, but she grew out of it already! Desperately needing a new one…

I have four kids and I have worn all of them. Different carriers for different babies and different ages and stages. Right now my youngest is 20 monthes and I wear her every day. At this stage I almost always reach for my Ergo!

I love the Moss Moby Wrap and Brown Sleepy Wrap!
These are soo awesome!!! In the Sleepy wrap, I think I like the organic khaki. And in Moby wrap I really like indigo.
We both tried and had no luck with the baby carrier we had…so we just carry him or put him in the stroller. I really like the natural colour for either of them.
