Newborn wrap for muslin

Postby tiyuricc » Tue Jan 12, 2010 9:39 pm

Can anyone advise a good wrap to use for a newborn for first few weeks, using folded muslin? And what size? I've seen some small wraps listed as 4kg+, but I'm assuming that's taking into account a bulky nappy rather than a muslin.

I used fitted nappies with my son from 6 months, but for a newborn is all new to me! DS was 3.86kg (8lb 8), so I'm guessing this one won't be tiny either.

I'm thinking we'll move on from muslins to itti bitti's SIOs, so don't need a wrap to last too long.

Thanks for any advice

Motherease Rikki XS wraps work perfectly over a newborn nappy especially a folded muslin...
Get some small motherease Rikki wraps too as the XS won't fit for long but work perfectly when you don't want anything too bulky on your cute newborn :)

I loved (and still love) weenotions wraps but if your LO is going to be 8lbs or over I'd avoid the XS and go straight to Smalls and Mediums...

I just got an Upsy daisy small wrap which looks like it will be perfect over muslins. I think theyve just stopped creating anppies but there may be a few shops online that stock some bits or look out for preloved xx

we used imse vimse cotton wraps when we tried some muslins, as ale was really tiny when she was born and they are quite soft and slim considering they are cotton,
