Thank you for choosing a Moby
Getting Started
This instructional booklet is a guide for exploring the
various ways to use your Moby Wrap . Babywearing
is a time-tested tradition practiced around the world
for centuries . The Moby Wrap brings COMFORT
to TRADITION . Baby and wearer can enjoy all the
benefits of being close for extended periods of time .
After a hold has been introduced, continue to
use it as long as baby is comfortable and secure .
Remember each child is an individual and will
develop at his or her own rate and have his or her
own preferences .
Wrap!
®
After the birth of my son Nathan, I wanted a
baby carrier that would allow him to be with me
while I continued my work as a parent educator.
I created the Moby Wrap and named it for
the feeling of closeness and connection between
mother and baby (MOther + baBY).
My wish is that your Moby will help you and
your baby experience the joys of babywearing.
Sincerely,
Gillian
Co-Founder & President
Moby Wrap Inc.

you would in your arms - supported, snug and

baby you will find:
•
Baby's preferred carrying position
•
A hold that is soothing and calming
for baby and wearer
•
Decreased back strain on the wearer
•
Baby in a correctly aligned position
