A sling for feeding

tiggercats · Feb 20th, 2010, 15:08 PM

Not that we get out much, but I'd like to get a sling to easily (and discreetly) feed when we are out. I have a baby bjorn type carrier, but not sure I can feed with that easily, I also have an infantino sling rider, which we haven't used as LO hasn't liked it when I've tried it so far.

What slings do you recommend for feeding on the go?

I second the Moby wrap! I haven't actually fed her in it yet, but she loves riding in there when we're out and about, and we've practiced at home the positioning for BF and it looks very discreet.

I've just looked at moby wraps and I think I'd get tied up in a terrible mess, I think I need to find a sling meet to get some practise in.

I was thinkin the same. Lol. That moby sling does look a little on the difficult side. How do you ladies manage it?

It's complicated at first but very easy when you get the hang of it. I usually put it on before I leave home and just pop the baby in once we get where we're going.

It looks complicated... and it looks like there is a LOT of it! I mean, you can barely see what the ladies are wearing underneath the baby... all you can see is wrap.

I've used the moby wrap! With my breastfeeding wrap top, my moby wrap and a cardy over the top I don't think I have even an inch of skin on display. I think I think society needs to accept women breastfeeding in public but I'm shy.

I loved the Bjorn for nursing Brennan when he was little. I would lower the straps till he was mouth level with my nipple, latch him on, throw a blanket over us, and go. I swear I wouldn't have been able to grocery shop without it.
