breastfeeding and babywearing

[mamafever]

How in the world do you do this? Anyone have some advice?...and what carrier is best? sling? moby?

For me a Ring Sling was great for breastfeeding. I have never used a moby or a wrap though. I did try it with a Mei Tai and that was bad news. I have some huge boobs and I had to lower her almost to my crotch so she could latch... it was a mess. With the ring sling, I could loosen, latch baby and tighten back up.

I can do it if I have to in a stretchy wrap, but I do have to pull the baby out of a tummy-to-tummy carry and hold him horizontally (it's hard to explain: the "cummerbund" helps support him).

But it's not my favorite. I really prefer to sit down and get comfortable. I've nursed in the wrap when I had to because I was standing in line or something.

ETA: I have big boobs, if that matters.

I am small chested so I have been able to nurse in RS or my SSC. People have commented to me that it must be because my chest doesn't get in the way The SSC is a bit tricky but doable. The RS was super easy!

I've never managed to breastfeed in anything other than a ring sling,
