One of these days I'm going to save up enough to get a girasol wrap converted to a ring sling by SBP. ;)</p> <p>I hear great things about the Maya wrap sling, and it's on Amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carrier-for-breastfeeding#post-1442213 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 00:46:20 +0000 mamawarrior 1442213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@heartonastring: so cool you had one made for you. I will check the ones you recommended. Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carrier-for-breastfeeding#post-1441176 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 14:56:05 +0000 heartonastring 1441176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a wrap conversion, meaning I ordered a woven wrap then sent it to Sleeping Baby Productions to be sewn into a RS. I. Guessing you want one faster than that though...try Sakura Bloom, Comfy Joey or Maya (without padding) ring slings :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carrier-for-breastfeeding#post-1441091 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 14:30:26 +0000 mamawarrior 1441091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@heartonastring: what type of RS do you have? I was looking online and it seems like the most doable to breastfeed in for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carrier-for-breastfeeding#post-1440387 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 11:02:27 +0000 heartonastring 1440387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my RS for hands free nursing and nursing in public. Woven wraps work too, but have more of a learning curve. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carrier-for-breastfeeding#post-1440266 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 10:35:19 +0000 Silva 1440266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamawarrior: my friend nurses in the moby and the ergo all the time. I have really small boobs and just can't make it work no matter what I try. My friend is large chested, so her boob can sort of "move around" if the makes sense. Mine don't go anywhere, so I have to move baby's head, and it ends up being too awkward/uncomfortable for her </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carrier-for-breastfeeding#post-1440254 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 10:33:18 +0000 mamawarrior 1440254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thanks ladies! Seems so intimidating </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carrier-for-breastfeeding#post-1440244 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 10:31:04 +0000 Alivoo01 1440244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Espion: Same here. I've nursed in an Ergo, but it's kind of difficult. Gotta loosen the straps to drop DS down and lift my boob up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carrier-for-breastfeeding#post-1439381 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 22:49:53 +0000 birdofafeather 1439381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i nursed in my boba 3g! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carrier-for-breastfeeding#post-1439359 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 22:41:52 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1439359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like wraps for nursing hands-free. I feel like I can have lots of flexibility depending on how baby wants to be held and what I need to do. I nursed Lorelei in a wrap all the time when she was small! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carrier-for-breastfeeding#post-1439272 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 22:11:44 +0000 Espion 1439272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I even used the Ergo to nurse, it just requires some shimmying. Usually I'd have to prop up the boob with a cloth diaper or just hold it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carrier-for-breastfeeding#post-1439259 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 22:07:23 +0000 Maysprout 1439259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can nurse in the Moby (well something similar) and a sling carrier, though I do keep one hand on the bottom whenshe's nursing in the sling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carrier-for-breastfeeding#post-1439015 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 21:10:39 +0000 Veggiemama 1439015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the Moby wrap for nursing #2, it wasn't super comfortable but it worked! I also tried to time feedings for when my older child was also eating because he was strapped into a booster seat. It gets easier, over time my toddler got used to me needing to bf all the time and would play independently or would sit next to me and read books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/carrier-for-breastfeeding#post-1438876 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 20:46:26 +0000 mamawarrior 1438876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It has been challenging to nurse a newborn and chase a toddler at the same time. Anyone recommend a carrier I can use to nurse my newborn handsfree? </p>
