Carrier with large chest?

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
What carriers work best if you have a large chest? I have no idea where to start!

Thanks,

My favourite is a woven wrap... when I do a back carry I cross it over my chest very smoothly and it is comfortable and doesn't look like my breasts are trying to burst out of it...

I agree with the woven wrap suggestion. Because they are infinitely adjustable, you can get a really comfy fit. There are tons of videos online, and you can also look for a local BWing group to help you try out carries.

I've got very large breasts & I've used with no problems a stretchy wrap, a ring sling, an ergo & a framed backpack.

I should have mentioned - my baby will be a newborn, so front carry for now.

I have a large chest and haven't found it to be too much of an issue with front carries. I have a ring sling, stretchy wrap, and an ergo. I actually have trouble using the wrap with back carries if it is crossed across my chest. I end up knotting it above the breasts or doing rucksack style carries so it doesnt' cross my chest and make my breasts look weird. I would suggest a stretch wrap to start with. They are really forgiving and there are so many ways to use them depending on your body type.

wraps are terrific because theyre so easily adjusted you can pretty much wear it comfortably with any body type

ring sling is the best, plus it hides the newly huge breastfeeding boobs!

A mei tai is also pretty much infinitely adjustable to deal with large breasts. I prefer a mei tai or a ring sling for newborn nursing because IME they're the easiest to adjust. About the only one I'd recommend you stay away from is a pouch -- it's a lot harder to nurse in a non-adjustable pouch if you're well-endowed.
