If you have one or have used one.. did you like it? I have a preemie.. shes currently about 38 weeks, and she is supposed to get about 4 hours a day of skin time.. but I also have a two year old and its very difficult to carry her around for 4 hours a day. My doctor suggested using a fabric sling, and reccomended Moby wraps. Thing is.. with me not working (since she was a preemie I had to leave work a month earlier than scheduled) we are really short on money and I cant afford to buy one. im thinking I could sew my own, I just dont know how long they are. If you own one, could you please measure the length and width of the fabric and tell me what it is? Thanks

Thanks, but im looking for the Moby wrap specifically... because there are more ways to wrap it to position the baby, you can even make a backpack out of it. I found the answer on a website.. its over 6 yards long! yikes!

I used the Ultimate Baby Wrap that I bought from Babies R Us. It is basically the same thing as the Moby Wrap, but it has a pocket which is incredibly convenient and it is a little cheaper. My baby basically lived in it for the first 3 months, until she became more independant and wasn't interested anymore. But, if you buy the Ultimate Baby Wrap, I would still tell you to get the directions from the Moby Wrap website, as they are more detailed.
If I were you, I would post on Craigslist and Freecycle explaining the situation and lack of cash. Also check Ebay - I am putting the links that I found below. Good luck!
PS. My daughter was born at 5 1/2 pounds - I tried the Maya wrap as well, but she was too small for it.

I make 'Mayan Indian wraps' it is 2 - 2.5 yards of fabric ...depending on your size....buy two rings (at Sears Hardware ...Home Depot...about 2.00/pair) and basically fold over the sides to build a 'bumper' area....i think the website with pictures is 'overtheshoulderbabyholder'
its pretty easy...just play with it and you will get it....
