can't front carry baby

[joyakshi]

in a sling or carrier. if she is facing my torso she freaks out b/c she has boobie angst. she can go sideways, but not all my slings do a side carry. i do breastfeed on demand.
is this normal? how do other women carry their babes facing them without having baby demand the boob and freak out?

Ds does the same thing.. I either stick the boob back in his mouth and let him suck until he falls asleep or stick a binky in his mouth... or put him in right after nursing when he is ready to sleep... and ill bounce him around until he falls asleep. I can't even hold him facing me regular ( without a carrier) without him freaking and wanting boobs. He cant ever just relax and snuggle with me. He has to have boobs.

my daughter is the same if i carry her in a ring sling or pouch. no one can hold her in the cradle position without breastfeeding- even when my 10yo son holds her that way she snorts and roots around and he'll tell her "oh sorry, i didn't mean to hold you in the boobie position".

i love nurslings and their delicious devotion to breasts

My dd will usually drop off to sleep in the front in my ring sling, but often I have to nurse her at the same time. But since she has thrush, she isn't always in the mood to nurse and sometimes offering it to her makes her madder.

oh, i'm glad i'm not the only one.
now if she could nap while i sit still...
