How to Tie a Moby Wrap for Nursing

Using a Moby wrap to carry your infant keeps your baby close to you while leaving your hands free. Newborns spend a lot of time sleeping and eating, and once you get comfortable carrying your baby in a Moby, it's easy and convenient to and nurse her while she's in the wrap. Breastfeeding your baby in a Moby wrap keeps him close and secure while allowing you the ability to walk around and use your hands.
