I GIVE UP!!! (nursing in a ring sling vent) - Page 2

no...DD is a car seat hater, so we stay close to home. And it's true...there's not much here, and what is here is not very crunchy at all!

(we're moving to Nashville next year, though, and I think there is a group there.)

We were in the same birth group and our babies are 5 days apart. Honestly, I never had trouble nursing Shane as a little baby in the sling, but I have really saggy boobs, but now, he is just too darn big. He can't get comfortable and it hurt digs the rings into me too much. I just wonder if your little one is getting too big for nursing that way. I use the sling for a hip carry more now.

maybe so. i never had the sling when she was little. plus, she's 18 lbs, 27 3/4 inches now...so tall that she really hangs out of the sling when i do try. i'm just not good at holding/supporting her with nothing, as in public, vs at home with the boppy and a comfy chair. a hard back chair, no pillows, etc, is so different for me, and challenging in a weird/annoying way, with such a big baby!

I can't seem to get a sling feeding to work either. My boobs are too big & saggy so either I smoosh his face & he can't breathe or the sling has to be so loose it feels like he's going to fall out & we both get all tensed up.
