I figured between the Moby, the babyhawk, and the Ergo that was my best and easiest bet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-and-nursing-friendly-carrier#post-2526705 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 10:44:44 +0000 Foodnerd81 2526705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just figured out how to nurse my 4 month old in the beco Gemini. Loosen both straps but especially the side she is nursing on. I don't think we could have before she had pretty good head control though. As a newborn I needed to position her and hold her in place too much. </p> <p>I've heard ring slings are good for it too but I haven't tried one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-and-nursing-friendly-carrier#post-2526681 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 09:56:22 +0000 danda 2526681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby k'tan! Not hands-free for nursing but easy to pop in and out and chase a toddler. I was nursing my newborn in k'tan while chasing my daughter at Gymboree. With my daughter I had an ergo but could never manage to nurse in it until we outgre the infant insert. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-and-nursing-friendly-carrier#post-2526642 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 08:55:32 +0000 Happygal 2526642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: I never tried it, but I had challenges with nursing DD as an infant--making sure her latch was right, oversupply, crazy letdown. I love the idea of being able to pop a baby on and keep going, but that wasn't our reality! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-and-nursing-friendly-carrier#post-2526637 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 08:47:47 +0000 travelgirl1 2526637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found the Beco easiest out of my carriers to nurse in, but I did have to loosen the straps quite a bit so baby's head was boob height, and sometimes lean myself forward a bit to get him latched on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-and-nursing-friendly-carrier#post-2526635 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 08:45:19 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2526635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I nurse in ring slings but it takes some practice. You've got to teach your baby to nurse upright which can take a bit of doing.<br /> It can be difficult enough nursing a newborn, but nursing a newborn in a carrier is hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-and-nursing-friendly-carrier#post-2526624 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 08:34:09 +0000 Alba4 2526624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can try the Maya ring sling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-and-nursing-friendly-carrier#post-2526622 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 08:32:29 +0000 Pollywog 2526622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the baby ktan. It's very easy to get on and off and I've routinely popped LO out to nurse in it and used it as a nursing cover </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-and-nursing-friendly-carrier#post-2526612 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 08:03:17 +0000 Run2shore 2526612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ergo360 with newborn insert! I avoided trying to figure it out for a few weeks after LO was born, and I regret not doing it sooner. It is so easy to wear and nursing in it (once you practice) is easy. You just loosen the straps so baby comes down a little and you can pop them on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-and-nursing-friendly-carrier#post-2526606 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 07:41:45 +0000 Happygal 2526606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm. I think this can really vary based on sizes. I'd think anything that could easily be loosened and tightened back up would be ideal. For a young baby, maybe a ring sling? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-and-nursing-friendly-carrier#post-2526592 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 06:58:51 +0000 mamabolt 2526592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is almost 2 weeks old and I'm searching for a carrier that will be easy on/off so I can pop him in and chase DD, and also is easy to nurse in on the go. With DD I used and loved my beco Gemini but waiting on it to be returned from a friend now and didn't find it super easy to nurse in. Thanks! </p>
