Bubba Mo?

[MummaSue]

I love my Bubba Moe sling babe, it's awesome. I got it when DD was 5 months old and wish wish wish I'd got it sooner. So easy to use.

I wear DD on my hip!

But i know a lot of folks here aren't keen on them.

I love it.

Thanks Mummasue.

I've just gone through some older threads and it seems that many think that this type of sling is too similar to the one that was recalled, so I think it's back to the drawing board as I really want something for a newborn. Doh!

I don't think Bubba Moe has been recalled - they're fabulous slings! DD spent A LOT of time in her Bubba Moe. She was a terrible day sleeper from about 5 weeks so I wore her most of the time and she loved it! We used it religiously until she was 7 months then she didn't really need it any more. I did use it again in September though (just after she'd turned one) when we went on holidays as it was comfy for her (and me) for her to sleep on the flights. I'm amazed she still fit in it and loved it as she always had.

We started using our Ergo around the 7 month mark.

Bubba Moe are brilliant slings. I highly recommend them!

No, they haven't been recalled, but they do have features similar to the infantino which was recalled in the US. They have a very deep pouch, and very limited adjustability (both because of the buckle shoulder and the padded rails) which can make newborn positioning difficult at worst, and at best, can be uncomfortable for some wearers (especially petite wearers who are often unable to tighten it sufficiently). With a too deep pouch it is more likely that a newborn will slump in a head to chest position which can impede breathing. If they are used very carefully and with full awareness of correct positioning there is no reason why they can't be used safely, but I would not recommend them personally. The mini-monkey is similar, as is the baby rock comfy carry. A good ring sling is much more comfortable for both baby and wearer, and safer too.

HTH!

Hey Kate,

Yeah, still use the Bubba Moe, we use snuggle hold or hip hold.

I love our sling and DD loves it too! Although, it's getting a bit hot for it these days. I tend to only use it it we are out and about and she needs a sleep. It was awesome when we went home to the Uk for that reason.

Do you have one?

Yeah, i was lent one and then a mate borrowed it to try it out but i have it back again. I have been using the Close Carrier, which i love, and still hoping to get an Ergo but playing around with the Bubba Moe for now
