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
benets 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.

Getting Started
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

Carry baby in the Moby Wrap the same way that
you would in your arms - supported, snug and
aligned. By mimicking the way you naturally carry
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
