My son refused to be transported in any other way so I spent pretty much all of my waking days in those early months in my Boba Wrap. Unlike the Ergobaby Omni 360, there’s no built-in lumbar support on the Boba X, so whilst the padded straps can be crossed for additional comfort, it may be better suited to short-term trips than all-day rural or urban adventures, particularly with heavier babies. There are many benefits of wearing your baby as a newborn, including close physical contact leading to increased oxytocin levels in mom, which can both improve breastfeeding and the parental bond, as well as lead to decreased reflux and fussiness in baby,” Dr. It can also be a bit overwhelming for first-time moms trying to figure out how to make even a basic tie. Babywearing also allows parents to keep their little ones close by but their hands completely free - a multitasker’s dream.The wrap is designed to support infants as small as 7 pounds, all the way up to 25 pounds; after that point, you'll want to switch to a soft-structured carrier. The closeness and loving touch, as well as the position adopted in a good sling, is what matters most.
Moby is recommended from 8 to 33 lbs, while Boba is suitable from birth (from about 7 pounds) up to 35 pounds. We found that the Boba is less likely to stretch with extended use, as it contains a soft blend of both French terry knit andspandex to keep things tight.Breastfeeding-friendly in an upright position, it also allows discreet nursing on the move - ideal if you’re also looking after an older child who wants to head to the local park or play area. I didn’t get it until my middle child was about 5 months but I am looking forward to wearing my newborn in it this time around. Outside of that, for newborns and infants up to about 15-20 pounds, we think this is an awesome summer wrap option for warmer climates where breathability and comfort are key! The only downfall we found is that the fabric is nice and warm during the fall, winter, and early spring, but can get a little hot in the summer. Compact, portable and ideal for public transport, baby carriers make a great alternative to pushchairs and travel systems, particularly for newborns and younger babies.
