Baby-wearing?

Question

I'd love some advice on baby wraps please. I've currently got the ergo baby 360 which I've loved and only stopped using recently but with my new baby (due in a few months) I'd love to use a wrap not a carrier. I've seen posts about the boba, moby and k'tan but would love to hear from those of you who have them (or others you recommend) and your thoughts, pros and cons etc. Thanks in advance.

Answer

I would invest in a woven wrap. The wraps you mentioned are super stretchy and don't hold well past 15-18lbs. A woven can hold even a toddler.

Answer

K'tan

Answer

I used a k'tan for my daughter from birth to about 15 lbs and then it wasn't comfortable for me. At that point, I moved into a Tula carrier which I loved. I plan to use the same plan for my new baby.

I loved the k'tan, was super easy to use and my baby slept well in it. The others (moby) looked too complicated for me :)

Answer

I also vote for the K'tan. Easy to use,  fits well,  supportive and absolutely no back pain.

I hated the Moby with a passion.

Answer

I have tried the boba wrap and k'tan. I personally don't really like the boba wrap. It's not a difficult concept to remember how to wrap/tie it, but it's a hassle because there's so much fabric. I can't imagine trying to put it on in public bc the ends would be dragging the ground as I wrap/tie it. I also tried to wear it (indoors and outdoors) this month. I live in Texas and the fabric seemed to make me and baby hot, even inside. We only lasted 1-2 minutes outside. The fabric is very stretchy so I'm not sure how well it will hold when baby weighs more. 
The k'tan is the same carrying idea as the boba but you don't have to mess with wrapping and tying. I like it much better bc of that. It does come in sizes and is not adjustable though.

Answer

I like the moby. I borrowed it from a friend who said it was recommended for small babies (my daughter was born at 5lbs). Baby refuses to ever be put down so it's been a lifesaver for me, she just curls up on my chest and sleeps while I move around.
