Moby Bump & Beyond T-Shirt Baby Wrap Carrier, Ivory – Size 2 (Medium), Versatile Support Wrap for Pregnant Mothers, Sling Carrier for Infants, Carries Babies up to 19.8lbs (8–12 Months)

Comfortable and functional!
My previous baby – shown in the picture- had issues gaining weight. My midwife introduced me research about how skin to skin saves baby energy because the mother’s body regulates so many of the infant systems. I wore that baby skin to skin nonstop for 4 months. I was surprised how skin to skin lowered my stress levels, I would get more frustrated with the extra chores of having a new Bobby when we weren’t attached, but when we were touching it didn’t register as a chore.I couldn’t find my old shirts for my most recent pregnancy and they didn’t have black on Amazon. I purchased white and decided to tie dye it. I’m a little sad because I should have gotten a larger size because my postpartum body is not the same as last time, but it still works, it just shows my mom handles.The weird extra piece of cloth that another reviewer mentioned is actually a built in breastfeeding cover. I love it because it’s useful and I manage to stow it in my boobs or tuck it in when its length annoys me.

Weird fabric flap
I like the shirt, love the ease of skin to skin and baby carrying. But the front panel is this long, round-bottomed extra flap on the shirt. It doesn’t make sense and makes the shirt look super weird – a round scoop of fabric hanging down six inches below the rest of the shirt, when the rest of the shirt doesn’t have a scoop/round shape. It’s like a shirt tail from a dress shirt/blouse, but in the front. I’m guessing it’s to make room for the baby, but there’s just to much of it – the material doesn’t feel strong enough to support a baby big enough to fill it all out.The flaps/ties that hold in the baby aren’t quite cut right to support it fully. It’s hard to get the top edge of each snug to support the head. Maybe this won’t feel like a problem when the baby is able to support his head.

A weird fit. Baby overheats easily.
Doesn’t feel secure at all. My baby head flopped out when he was just turning around. I tried tightening the wrap and had gotten the smallest size (I bought 2 sizes to check) and it either blocks his breathing or its too loose.I also feel like he overheats easily even though its spring. But the tshirt itself is too cold to wear by itself during colder days and too easily over heats during summer months. I think this goes for all baby wearing shirts and Moby is definitely on the thinner side and it’s still too hot.

Best baby wearing wrap for a newborn
This is by far the easiest wrap to use with a newborn. It feels more secure and is so much easier to use than most wraps. Easily allows for skin to skin and helps keep baby’s head in a safe position. I only wish this had been around when my older 2 were babies. The only negative thing I can say is that the straps feel a little bulky when you are wearing this without the baby in it. Because it is an actual shirt, you will need more than one if you want to use it every day.

It really helped support my tummy and lower back during pregnancy and even tucked in my belly after birth. However, to wrap the baby in was not quite convenient or as snuggled and feel secured as the original Moby wrap, and the zips for breastfeeding were quite difficult to deal with only one hand. I need to use my mouth to hold the top bit while zipping up or down with one hand, while I am carrying my baby with another hand.
