How difficult is the Moby?

My kiddos are almost 3 weeks and I'm going insane sitting ALL the time. We're excl. brestfeeding and all they do is eat right now. I've finally gotten tandem down but I find it very hard to get up and down and the babies fall asleep and stay asleep on the nursing pillow so I've been bad and we sleep like that for now. Working on getting them to their swings at least and cribs. At least I get some sleep for now...I'm desperate. Now though they don't even like their swings. They just want to be with me all the time. Bathroom and shower breaks are hard to get in! Anyway, I was holding both of them this morning to walk around a bit....my legs, butt, and back are killing me...but they were very happy just being held. We looked at the Moby when I was pregnant but it's pricey and I didn't know if I'd use it. Now I think it might really help me but it looks complicated and I'm afraid I'll give up. Dont want to spend $$ if I won't use it, KWIM? Any advice?

 

I got it as a gift and knowing that I already had a hotsling (for Evan), I just figured I"d try it out but more than likely sell it. Nope. I sold my hotsling. Once you learn how to put it on, it's like an old hat! Now, I have not tried it with two babies, although they say that it is possible. I like mine. Good luck with your decision. Here is a picture of me using my wrap when Evan was 3.5 months old. (what a 'little' chub!)

 

Same here...LOVED mine and will use again...just won't be able to carry both boys. Once you figure it out it's really easy.

Here's some pics:

Oh I love the moby! check out these pictures, I have one with my newborn twins, and another with my now almost 10 month twins. Im a petite person at 5'2 and 105 but I can still wear them both if they are distributed evenly I swear your muscles will grow stronger as they gain weight and grow larger!

also, it comes with a book - after you wrap it a few times, you wont need the book, in fact you will probably find ways to wrap it however it meets your needs. Why dont you see if you can buy a used one or just make your own? you just need a LONG strip of stretchy fabric...

 

If you want to put them both in at the same time, get it!! I did that a few times and it was great! It is difficult at first, but not too bad.

Wow! I didn't realize you could wear them both at 9 months! I may have to try that! Which hold is it?

 

easy to put on once you get the hang of it. and i love that you tie it to you, so its a snug fit every time. youtube has plenty of how-to videos if you search moby wrap. i have a navy one i was gonna sell if you wanna PM me

 

Wrapping is way easier than other carriers, and its always a perfect fit! I couldn't afford a moby, but made my own for $10.
