Best Newborn Carrier for Curvy Mama with Large Bust?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
My DS will be 5 in July and we're expecting a little girl this August! :

If I can find all of them (its been a long time!) - I believe I still have a Kozy Carrier, a basic ring sling, a Hotslings pouch, a My Karma Baby pouch, a Patapum, an open mei tai (I can't remember the name - sort of straps only with no big back, really great for toddler!). I had a Moby Wrap but it made me too hot! Ok so I have a carrier addiction.

Anyway, I never nursed well in any of them. Wanted to see what suggestions you all have for a DD+ mama (that's not nursing so they'll probably be an F at least).

Thanks!

I'm a G cup & have never been able to master nursing while wearing. But then again I'm not overly motivated too - my life is not so busy that I can't sit & relax to nurse - lol.

I cannot nurse hands-free while babywearing. I couldn't do it at *all* until he was around 4mo. And I did it in a ring sling, but it wasn't at all hands-free, nor was it very discreet (not that I care much about that, but I did toss the tail of the ring sling over the vast tracts of K cup exposed at the time).

When kiddo got around 10-12mo, I could nurse in a front carry in the Ergo, but only if I dropped him down low and pulled my boob up. Neither hands-free nor back-friendly. They're down to around a G-cup now at 23mo and he's almost too tall to do it in the Ergo, no matter what I do. Plus, front carries are really painful for me now that he's over 20lbs.

If he *must* nurse while I'm on the move, I just hold him in a cradle carry and let *him* hold the boob up and hope and pray that he doesn't decide to wave it at passing traffic. No sling, just short distances.

From birth to about 4 or 5 months I wear my ring sling almost exclusively. I cannot nurse hands free in it but it provides me with some coverage so it works.
Then I wear a mei tai or my pikkolo so I can lower him down to nurse while facing me. I have to use one hand to hike the boob up but it works for me to have one hand free.
