But I am soo determined to do it with future #2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-nursed-in-a-baby-carrier#post-2433493 Fri, 22 Jan 2016 16:21:28 +0000 pastemoo 2433493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gemini! Just lower it, and loosen the straps, pull the breast up, and there you are. Easy... after the first 10 tries.<br /> Once I got the hang of that, I learned to nurse in a woven, but I'd start with the Gemini. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-nursed-in-a-baby-carrier#post-2409503 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 22:07:18 +0000 maddyz 2409503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Total game changer.</p> <p>I nused in the Tula, a woven wrap and a ring sling. I found the wrap to be the easiest and most comfortable for me, but I often had to re wrap it when we were done. LO is a very long baby so adjusting the tula down that low was sometimes hard.</p> <p>I also found the Boob nursing shirts to help. It was hard to pull my shirt up enough with out exposing my back. I am a shirt up nurser... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-nursed-in-a-baby-carrier#post-2409493 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 22:00:03 +0000 youboots 2409493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes in my Ergo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-nursed-in-a-baby-carrier#post-2409482 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 21:51:16 +0000 winniebee 2409482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No never!

My first nursed literally 24/7 until she was a year old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-nursed-in-a-baby-carrier#post-2409452 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 21:22:13 +0000 littleveesmommy 2409452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I nursed my oldest a lot in the Ergo starting around 6 months old and it helped a lot! She was fussy and loved to be held so this allowed me to get things done too. With my second I nursed her mostly in my ring sling but also did it in my LL ergo carrier too. The ring sling is definitely easier to adjust for nursing. When she was younger I actually loosened the ring sling until she was in a cradle carry but with her head out and supported inside my elbows. Her body weight was supported with the ring sling from neck to knees and I used the tail as a nursing cover. She would fall asleep sometimes this way and I had no troubles holding her while she napped since I was only supporting her head (since its unsafe to have baby in cradle position inside a sling besides during active nursing). Having her head outside the sling allowed me to make sure her airway remained open. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-nursed-in-a-baby-carrier#post-2408704 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 12:56:48 +0000 JenGirl 2408704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Yeah, the headrest keeps things pretty modest. Most people have no idea I'm nursing. I wear an undershirt that I pull down so that my side isn't exposed when I'm not wearing a jacket, but that's mostly for my comfort because I get cold easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-nursed-in-a-baby-carrier#post-2408687 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 12:48:50 +0000 Foodnerd81 2408687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JenGirl: oh wow- that much more subtle than I pictured! </p> <p>@Banana330: you exercised while nursing and wearing your baby?? Damn. Now that is impressive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-nursed-in-a-baby-carrier#post-2408654 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 12:34:11 +0000 JenGirl 2408654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a picture! </p> [attach=5988/16/o0fvh0.337x600.20151216_170347.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-nursed-in-a-baby-carrier#post-2408644 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 12:28:17 +0000 JenGirl 2408644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I nurse in my Lillebaby fairly well! First time was at about 1 month. I drop the waist to my hips so that his mouth is at nipple level and pull up the head rest. Then shirt goes up and I put my hand in the side to help hold the boob to his mouth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-nursed-in-a-baby-carrier#post-2408581 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 11:56:29 +0000 travelgirl1 2408581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I nurse in the Ergo and Beco Gemini. I find the Beco the easiest as it is very easy to loosen the straps to drop him down to nipple height. Sometimes I need to lean forwards and tip him backwards a bit to get the boob in. It is more awkward in the Ergo but still possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-nursed-in-a-baby-carrier#post-2408522 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 11:36:09 +0000 Banana330 2408522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done it a few times in my Beco. Just lower the waist and loosen the straps. I did it once in my baby wearing barre class while exercising and recently at a museum. It's pretty handy actually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-nursed-in-a-baby-carrier#post-2408490 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 11:19:44 +0000 birdofafeather 2408490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did in my boba sscwhen DD1 was a little older. Don't remember the exact age though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-nursed-in-a-baby-carrier#post-2408472 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 11:09:32 +0000 Pumuckl 2408472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a couple of times in a SSC. I don't like retightening the wrap so I never nursed in that. My kids were quick to go 3 hours between nursing sessions though and quick eaters so I never really had the need to practice too much.<br /> A ring sling sounds like a good idea though if you want someting that is versatile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-nursed-in-a-baby-carrier#post-2408336 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 09:08:51 +0000 Alivoo01 2408336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did in the Ergo, but loosening the shoulder straps and scooting him over to be more in line with my boob. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-nursed-in-a-baby-carrier#post-2408212 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 02:14:12 +0000 lamariniere 2408212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only managed to do it a few times. Baby/boobs were never really at the right height to do it comfortably. We had an Ergo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-nursed-in-a-baby-carrier#post-2408127 Sun, 03 Jan 2016 22:34:22 +0000 mrsjazz 2408127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I nursed a lot wearing the Beco Gemini. I just loosened the straps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-nursed-in-a-baby-carrier#post-2408100 Sun, 03 Jan 2016 22:05:22 +0000 BrandNewMom 2408100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I nursed starting at 3 months in the Bjorn </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-nursed-in-a-baby-carrier#post-2407991 Sun, 03 Jan 2016 20:20:40 +0000 MoonMoon 2407991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could never get the hang of it!

I could never get the hang of it to be running around in public doing it though. I didn't try until she was older - 6+ months or so... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-nursed-in-a-baby-carrier#post-2407987 Sun, 03 Jan 2016 20:18:08 +0000 peaches1038 2407987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do! I have a ring sling and ergo 360 and have bf my 2 mo old in both. Like @oliviaoblivia: said, it takes practice! I can't nurse him hands free yet but I think it'll get easier once his head control improves. Get a ring sling!! I love mine. I swear it has sleep dust! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-nursed-in-a-baby-carrier#post-2407978 Sun, 03 Jan 2016 20:10:50 +0000 Astro Bee 2407978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't buy the Beco until he was two months, and started nursing in it right away. We had a Bjorn Original that was gifted to us by MIL that I hated, so I didn't much baby wear before that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-nursed-in-a-baby-carrier#post-2407977 Sun, 03 Jan 2016 20:10:39 +0000 LindsayLou 2407977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've nursed in a moby and a ring sling. Nursing in a ring sling is so easy! If we're going somewhere I think I may need to nurse in a carrier, I wear the ring sling. I'm sure I could nurse in a ssc, just haven't tried yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-nursed-in-a-baby-carrier#post-2407975 Sun, 03 Jan 2016 20:10:13 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2407975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've nursed in the moby, beco gemini, and the ring sling! It took some practice but I got used to it. I used to cook while nursing him in the carrier cause he would always cry if I set him down!<br /> It's been so long I honestly couldn't walk you through it. I actually watched some youtube videos though - that might be a good place to start. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-nursed-in-a-baby-carrier#post-2407968 Sun, 03 Jan 2016 20:07:13 +0000 Reese 2407968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, in a SSC. I let him sit low and moved my boob around. Not sure if it was easier because my boobs are on the bigger side. It was awkward but it got the job done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-nursed-in-a-baby-carrier#post-2407967 Sun, 03 Jan 2016 20:06:49 +0000 Astro Bee 2407967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done itloads in my Beco Gemini. I just loosen up the straps on one side and shift him down. I've seriously lost track of all the places I've nursed him! You'll figure it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-nursed-in-a-baby-carrier#post-2407966 Sun, 03 Jan 2016 20:05:21 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2407966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: maybe four months in the ergo. I did the ring sling before that as soon as she figured out how to eat sitting up. It took a little practice at home outside of the casket for her to adjust to a new nursing position. Waited for the ergo to have enough neck strength without the insert. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-nursed-in-a-baby-carrier#post-2407965 Sun, 03 Jan 2016 20:03:32 +0000 Foodnerd81 2407965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also I kind of wanted to buy a ring sling for this one and that would be a good reason! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-nursed-in-a-baby-carrier#post-2407964 Sun, 03 Jan 2016 20:02:42 +0000 Foodnerd81 2407964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: do you remember how old baby was when you started? I haven't put her in the SSC yet, C didn't like it until she was a few months old. </p>
