Nursing in your Moby
*Moby™ Wrap – color: Black

1. Starting from the Hug Hold, gently pull the logo section of fabric down.

2. Open the shoulder sections of fabric so you can lift your baby straight up.

3. Spread As you lift your baby, pull the baby’s leg out of the shoulder section of fabric that is closest to your body. Reach inside the opposite shoulder section and turn the baby’s legs. Now you should have both of the baby’s legs outside one of the shoulder sections.

 

4.While holding the baby’s head and neck, open the shoulder section of fabric that is closest to your body and gently lower baby’s head towards the breast.

5. Reach under the shoulder section of fabric where the baby’s legs are sticking out and pull the piece of fabric that is closest to your body so that it is securing the baby’s head, shoulders and bottom.

6.You may pull the logo section up and over for added security and privacy.

Try to keep your baby’s body and head in a straight line when nursing. Think about keeping your bodies stomach-to-stomach while nursing.

At home, practice nursing in your Moby™ without wearing a shirt. While out, try wearing nursing shirts or button-down shirts to avoid having to tuck and un-tuck your shirt from under the Moby™.

Remember that your child will become more comfortable with nursing with practice and that babies are wonderful at using cues to tell you what they need. Some babies do not like the fabric over their heads while nursing. Some babies prefer to nurse in the upright position like the Hug Hold. Be patient and be willing to try different positions.
