I would watch videos on YouTube. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-in-a-carrier-how#post-966882 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 11:38:19 +0000 anbanan15 966882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We nursed in the Ergo all the time! Even when DS was huge and 21 months old :).</p> <p>At the younger/smaller age, where your LO is, I would just expose the breast and adjust LO to "find it" then use the hood as a nursing shield. As he got bigger it became easier to drop the waist some so he would sit lower. I also had to adjust the straps a little sometimes. I used a nursing cover over top at that stage if I wasn't wearing a zip up to help cover the sides. </p> <p>Jillian from Pax Baby nurses her toddler in a Tula by situating LO in the carrier with both legs to one side and sort of leaning back to the opposite side. Not sure if that makes sense, but I think she has pictures on their FB page and/or videos on YouTube on how to do it. You can also do it in the Ergo, but at that point I was so used to doing it the way we were that I found it more difficult and LO didn't like it as much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-in-a-carrier-how#post-966799 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 11:16:51 +0000 KT326 966799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would lower the straps a bit so his head was closer to my breast. Then, since I am larger chested I would have to hold my breast up a little bit for him. I also used a nursing cover since I felt like someone would be able to see what I was doing from the side.</p> <p>ETA: I did it this way with and without the insert. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-in-a-carrier-how#post-966781 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 11:11:58 +0000 Pepper 966781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great question!! I'm wondering the exact same thing (with the insert). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-in-a-carrier-how#post-966776 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 11:11:10 +0000 Smurfette 966776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't nursed in the Ergo since R is a peanut and doesn't fit yet. But I have with the Ktan. She was sitting up so her face was right at my boobs. I had to lift my boob up a little so she got the nipple but she was fine eating as we walked around the zoo. I haven't done it since. Probably will be harder now since she is bigger and doesn't sit right at the boobs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-in-a-carrier-how#post-966773 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 11:10:57 +0000 Mrs. Twine 966773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have an Ergo, so can't tell you much about that. But I just googled "nursing in an Ergo" and found two decent looking youtube tutorials. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-in-a-carrier-how#post-966752 Fri, 26 Jul 2013 11:06:39 +0000 maybebaby 966752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spurred by @pepper's post about NIP, I am curious--how do you nurse in a carrier? I love this idea but don't understand how it works. We have the ergo and LO is 12 lbs so we no longer need the insert. Any tips? </p>
