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
Moby Wrap Inc.

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
Thank you for choosing a Moby® Wrap!

Ensure that the infant’s face is above the fabric, visible and free from obstructions at all
times. Babies at the greatest risk of suocation include those born prematurely, those
with respiratory problems and those under four months of age. Ensure that the baby
does not curl into a “C” position with the chin resting on or near the chest. This position
can interfere with breathing, even if nothing is covering the nose or mouth.
FALL HAZARD
Leaning, bending over, or tripping can cause baby to fall. Keep one hand on baby while moving.
ONLY USE THIS CARRIER FOR BABIES BETWEEN 8 LBS AND 35 LBS
Never use this carrier for a preterm infant without seeking the advice of a healthcare professional.

baby's nose and mouth
are visible. Ensure that the baby does
not curl into a "C" position with the chin
resting on or near the chest.

reposando sobre el pecho o cerca del pecho. Esta posición puede interferir con la respiración,
incluso si no hay nada que pueda cubrir la nariz o la boca.

Inclinarse, agacharse o tropezarse puede provocar que el bebé se caiga. Cuando esté en movimiento,
siempre coloque una mano sobre el bebé.

Helpful Hints
Newborn babies with colic,
gas or acid reux often
prefer being carried in an
upright position.
If baby doesn’t like being
in the wrap, gently take
baby out and try again later.
A baby can sense a wearer's
hesitance when using the
wrap. Babies who "don't like
being wrapped" actually
enjoy it (and fall fast asleep)
when carried by an
experienced babywearer.
Keep practicing!
Babies will cue you when
they are ready to be out
of this position by starting
to stretch their legs. At this
point, you may put baby’s
legs through the fabric as
instructed in the Hug Hold.
Dad Tip
The vibration of a man’s
Adam’s apple can be soothing
to an upset baby. Try having Dad
or Grandpa hold the baby in
this position and walk around
humming or singing to soothe
a crying infant.

head under one of the

Posture, posture!
Before we begin your workout, let’s talk posture. The
main downside we nd with most carriers is that
they can wreak havoc on your posture. New moms
already suer from posture problems aggravated by
feeding, picking up baby, car seats and more. The best
way to use a baby carrier is to focus on stretching the
chest area and strengthening the upper back. When
wearing the carrier, regularly contract your shoulder
blades, bringing them together as if you were
squeezing a pencil. Keep shoulders down and back,
and neck long and relaxed.
Plie Squat
A plie squat is a gym favorite for shaping thighs
and lifting derrieres. This exercise works the quads,
hamstrings, inner thighs and glutes. Baby will love the
light bounce and your bottom will love the workout.
1. Stand with feet wide, toes turned out.
2. Pull abdominal muscles in at.
3. Slowly lower down until your thighs are
near parallel to the oor, keeping knees
and toes aligned.
4. Slowly squeeze thighs and glutes until you’re
back to start position.
5. Repeat for 1 to 3 sets of 12-16 repetitions, with
a 20-30 second rest between sets.
6. To add intensity, hold your squat in the lowered
position and do some controlled pulses.
3 toning moves to do with baby
exercises
Babies love the motion
and closeness; parents
love the comfort and
convenience! Even
better, the Moby Wrap
can also be a part
of great workout.
Baby's weight is
evenly distributed
while adding a
functional 'weight'
to your exercises!
What else can you do
with a Moby Wrap carrier?
Although not appropriate for running or even power
walking (because baby needs to be kept stable), a
slow walk can become a workout with baby in tow.
You can also add exercise tubing to your workout
and do bicep curls, lateral raises and other exercises
where you are standing and upright. As long as
baby’s head is supported and you can maintain good
posture, you’re set to get t!
Moby Wrap baby carriers can be
used for babies up to 35 lbs
Since newborns lack sucient head and neck
control, be sure to provide proper support until they
have developed adequate control. A Moby Wrap is
easier on your body (than holding baby), because it
distributes your baby's weight evenly.

Lunge
A lunge is also one of the most popular gym exercises
because it does so much at once. In just this one
exercise, you work the glutes, hamstrings, quads and
inner thighs. It's more important to have a long
stride than to lunge deeply while performing
this exercise. If you feel o balance, make your
stance wider or use a chair for support.
1. Stand in a long staggered lunge stance.
2. Bend knees and descend to form a
90-degree angle with upper and lower
position of each leg.
3. The kneecap of front leg should be
approximately over the last shoelace.
4. Keep front heel down and weight
distributed evenly through front foot.
5. Heel of back leg is up o oor
and ball of foot is in contact
with oor.
6. Keep head over hips and eyes
focused directly forward.
7. Keep chest expanded and shoulder blades
squeezed together.
8. Return to start position and repeat for 1 to 3 sets
on each leg, about 12-16 repetitions.
Wall Squat
A wall squat is a great exercise to work your upper
legs. We recommend singing to your baby while
your minute-long wall squat counts down!
1. Standing with your back to a bare wall,
slide down the wall until your legs are
at a 90-degree angle.
2. Feet should be shoulder-width apart,
toes forward and abdominals tucked.
3. Hold this position and squeeze
your glutes.
4. Hold for one minute or until your
thighs beg for mercy.

Get inspired
Talk to a friend or relative who enjoyed
breastfeeding, or read up on celebrity
moms and everyday role models. Watch a
mom nurse and ask questions. Know what
motivates you - that special bond, fewer bottles
to wash, or fewer trips to the doctor for both of you!
Scope out spots to nurse so you can get out of the
house. Psych yourself up. You can do it!
Hit the ground running
Aim for a good latch within an hour of birth
and get a pro to help you; pain is not okay!
Your baby is programmed to go straight
from birth to the breast, both for comfort
and colostrum - so weighing, tests, and
relatives can wait. Snuggle up: skin-to-skin
contact boosts your supply and cues baby to latch
well. Demand pasteurized, screened donor milk if a
supplement is medically required.
Prepare in advance
Treat breastfeeding like planing a wedding,
or interviewing for a job. Take a class, join
or create a support group and interview
lactation consultants (just in case). Enroll your
spouse - their support is key. Make sure your
employer understands that breastfeeding
equals fewer sick days, less turnover and higher
employee morale. You and your baby are worth it.
The benets of breastfeeding
last a lifetime!

Breastfeeding Tips
Reaching your personal breastfeeding goals
Beat the "booby traps"
Have a game plan for any bumps along
the way. Make sure your ob-gyn, hospital and
pediatrician are truly breastfeeding friendly. Ask
about their breastfeeding success rates! Find local
resources - think expert coach and cheering squad
to reach your personal best. Remind nosey bodies
and naysayers that we know more now, as with seat
belts and sunscreen. Remember, almost all women
can breastfeed successfully, and 95% of problems are
easily solved with the right help.
Get in the groove
Remember, the rst few days and weeks
are a learning curve, but like riding a bike,
you'll get the hang of it soon. Keep
phone numbers of your support
group and top lactation
consultants handy, and get
help immediately if you
have any pain. Ask friends
and family to bring a meal
or watch the baby while
you nap, set small,
manageable goals
and acknowledge
yourself.

Ensure Safe Sleep,
Physically & Emotionally
Babies and children have needs at night
just as they do during the day, from hunger,
loneliness, and fear, to feeling too hot or too cold.
They rely on parents to soothe them and help them
regulate their intense emotions. Sleep training
techniques can have detrimental physiological and
psychological eects. Safe cosleeping benets both
babies (or children) and parents.
Provide Consistent, Loving Care
Babies and young children have an intense
need for the physical presence of a consistent,
loving, responsive caregiver, ideally a parent. If it
becomes necessary, choose an alternate caregiver
who has formed a bond with the child and who
cares for her or him in a way that strengthens the
attachment relationship. Keep schedules exible, and
minimize stress and fear during short separations.
Practice Positive Discipline
Positive discipline helps a child develop a
conscience guided by his or her own internal
discipline and compassion for others. Discipline that
is empathetic, loving, and respectful strengthens the
connection between parent and child. Rather than
reacting to behavior, discover the needs leading
to the behavior. Communicate and craft solutions
together while keeping everyone’s dignity intact.
Strive for Balance
in Personal & Family Life
It is easier to be emotionally responsive when
you feel in balance. Create a support network,
set realistic goals, put people before things, and
don’t be afraid to say “no.” Recognize individual needs
within the family and meet them to the greatest
extent possible without compromising your physical
and emotional health. Be creative, have fun with
parenting, and take time to care for yourself.
Prepare for Pregnancy,
Birth & Parenting
Become emotionally and physically prepared
for pregnancy and birth. Research available
options for healthcare providers and birthing
environments, and become informed about routine
newborn care.
Feed with Love and Respect
Breastfeeding is the optimal way to satisfy
an infant’s nutritional and emotional
needs. “Bottle nursing” adapts breastfeeding
behaviors to bottle-feeding to help initiate a secure
attachment. Follow the feeding cues for both infants
and children, encouraging them to eat when they
are hungry and stop when they are full. Oer healthy
food choices and model healthy eating behavior.
Principles of
Parenting
Attachment Parenting International
promotes the conditions that are
vital for the optimal development of
children. These are at the core of API’s educational
mission and are encompassed in API’s
Eight Principles of Parenting:
API’s Eight Principles of Parenting
Respond with Sensitivity
Build the foundation of trust and empathy
beginning in infancy. Tune in to what your
child is communicating to you, then respond
consistently and appropriately. Babies cannot be
expected to self-soothe; they need calm, loving,
empathetic parents to help them learn to regulate
their emotions. Respond sensitively to a child who is
hurting or expressing strong emotion, and share in
his or her joy.
Use Nurturing Touch
Touch meets a baby’s needs for physical
contact, aection, security, stimulation, and
movement. Skin-to-skin contact is especially
eective, such as during breastfeeding, bathing, or
infant massage. Carrying or babywearing also meets
this need while on the go. Hugs, snuggling, back
rubs, massage, and physical play help meet this
need in older children.
