It is still snug, but it hurts my back a bit more than I'd like. I'm in the market for a woven but will hopefully be able to use the Moby until I can get it. :) AmandaB8 on "At what weight was your LO too heavy for the Moby Wrap?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-weight-was-your-lo-too-heavy-for-the-moby-wrap#post-1899120 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 11:10:36 +0000 AmandaB8 1899120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We switched to a Tula around 4 months (14 lbs). I freaking love our Tula. I do want to try a ring sling or woven wrap when I have another kiddo. jmarionsmith on "At what weight was your LO too heavy for the Moby Wrap?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-weight-was-your-lo-too-heavy-for-the-moby-wrap#post-1898797 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 08:16:01 +0000 jmarionsmith 1898797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Arden: that video was very helpful, thank you! @Boheme: i am going to wall you when i have two free hands! :) @loveisstrange: 10lbs 2 oz! @Mrs. Pen: @twodoghouse: @hilsy85: @oliviaoblivia: @beesknees: thanks ladies! beesknees on "At what weight was your LO too heavy for the Moby Wrap?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-weight-was-your-lo-too-heavy-for-the-moby-wrap#post-1898541 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 19:50:02 +0000 beesknees 1898541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I can't remember weight but I kept baby #1 in moby til 10 months at least, probably about 20 pounds. Baby #2 is 9.5 months and 18+pounds and I still very comfortably wear him in my k'tan. I have an ergo as well, I just prefer the wraps. (note that I could only handle the bjorn to 14 pounds) hilsy85 on "At what weight was your LO too heavy for the Moby Wrap?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-weight-was-your-lo-too-heavy-for-the-moby-wrap#post-1898535 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 19:44:01 +0000 hilsy85 1898535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Arden: ah ok...I wanted to get a solly for this time around, since I love the colors, but no point in getting one if it's the same as a moby (which I already have...). I may ask about woven wraps later! :) Arden on "At what weight was your LO too heavy for the Moby Wrap?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-weight-was-your-lo-too-heavy-for-the-moby-wrap#post-1898530 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 19:40:30 +0000 Arden 1898530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @hilsy85: Solly is a stretchy wrap like the moby or the boba. If you are looking for a woven wrap let me know and I can recommend a few brands (or Boheme probably has a lot of resources too). :) oliviaoblivia on "At what weight was your LO too heavy for the Moby Wrap?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-weight-was-your-lo-too-heavy-for-the-moby-wrap#post-1898525 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 19:35:34 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1898525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We retired it around two months. She was 14 pounds. It just stretched out too far. hilsy85 on "At what weight was your LO too heavy for the Moby Wrap?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-weight-was-your-lo-too-heavy-for-the-moby-wrap#post-1898518 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 19:27:34 +0000 hilsy85 1898518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Arden: @Boheme: This is a slight threadjack, but do you know if the solly baby wrap would be classified as a moby or as a woven wrap? <a href="http://sollybaby.com/" rel="nofollow">http://sollybaby.com/</a> I wore LO in our moby until he was about 3 months old I think? He was probably about 12 lbs. I could have probably worn him longer though. twodoghouse on "At what weight was your LO too heavy for the Moby Wrap?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-weight-was-your-lo-too-heavy-for-the-moby-wrap#post-1898476 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 18:07:42 +0000 twodoghouse 1898476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Around 12 lbs (4 months) we moved to the Ergo from the Moby. I threw my DD in it last week though at about 15 lbs. It was still usable, but not nearly as secure as I would have liked. loveisstrange on "At what weight was your LO too heavy for the Moby Wrap?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-weight-was-your-lo-too-heavy-for-the-moby-wrap#post-1898474 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 18:03:45 +0000 loveisstrange 1898474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @jmarionsmith: yep. 10lbs 8oz. How big was your LO? Boheme on "At what weight was your LO too heavy for the Moby Wrap?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-weight-was-your-lo-too-heavy-for-the-moby-wrap#post-1898446 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 17:26:21 +0000 Boheme 1898446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @jmarionsmith: A woven wrap has lots of the same carries as a Moby, and some of them can be pre-tied like the Moby! Pocket wrap cross carry, front cross carry, etc. They are known as "poppable" carries. You just pop the baby in and adjust. I'd be happy to help if you decide to get one :) Arden on "At what weight was your LO too heavy for the Moby Wrap?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-weight-was-your-lo-too-heavy-for-the-moby-wrap#post-1898441 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 17:19:23 +0000 Arden 1898441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @jmarionsmith: Yes a woven wrap can be tied the same way, but you have to tie around baby instead of tying first and putting baby in - since it doesn't stretch. If you like the moby and managed to get through it's learning curve, you'll love a woven wrap once you get through the original overwhelm. It's so versatile, and I think a lot more comfortable for long wear than a moby. The first tie you learn with a woven wrap is a fwcc, which is just like the moby. <a href="http://www.wrapyourbaby.com/frontwrapcrosscarry.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.wrapyourbaby.com/frontwrapcrosscarry.htm</a> But there are unlimited ways to wear a woven wrap so you can experiment to find something comfortable and easy for you.

It was at that weight that the jersey material would quickly sag and not support him. jmarionsmith on "At what weight was your LO too heavy for the Moby Wrap?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-weight-was-your-lo-too-heavy-for-the-moby-wrap#post-1898432 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 16:52:38 +0000 jmarionsmith 1898432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Arden: Noooo, I only have less than a pound before it will start to be uncomfortable? So sad! :crying: I JUST mastered using it! Can a woven wrap be tied in the same way the Moby is, or is it completely different? @loveisstrange: I think I recall your LO was over 10 lbs as well at birth so I think we will be approaching 15 lbs quickly too, thanks for your input! :) loveisstrange on "At what weight was your LO too heavy for the Moby Wrap?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-weight-was-your-lo-too-heavy-for-the-moby-wrap#post-1898428 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 16:40:42 +0000 loveisstrange 1898428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ 15lbs. I wore her in the Ergo after that. And 15lbs came quick for us. She was like 3 months old.

And yes! I nursed in the moby, ergo, and woven. :) jmarionsmith on "At what weight was your LO too heavy for the Moby Wrap?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-what-weight-was-your-lo-too-heavy-for-the-moby-wrap#post-1898422 Sun, 12 Oct 2014 16:31:11 +0000 jmarionsmith 1898422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm hoping to get a few months of use (or more) out of our Moby because I'm loving it! DD is only 5 weeks but is kind of on the bigger side at 11 lbs, so I'm worried she will quickly be too heavy. Bonus Question: Was anyone able to successfully nurse a newborn in a Moby??
