Would this be a good sling to BF in?

It is the Close sling

I have big boobs - will that make a difference?

If no good, then can anyone recommend me a good sling that I would be able to BF in please?

Thanks!

I had a Close and could bf in it fine (I had massive 38Gs at the time!) but mucg preferred a stretchy wrap when I tried one. Kari Me and Moby are good brands to try

Thanks for quick reply!
Did you prefer the stretchy ones because they were easier to feed in? Or just prefer them for carrying in general?
Are they a lot stretchier than the close one? as that seems to be jersey/stretchy material from what I have seen...

I just preferred them all round. I found the tails on the Close annoying and the extra tie around bit was a bit silly and too narrow. A stretchy wrap is slightly wider and much more adjustable, and it looks nicer imo.

Sorry dont mean to add to confusion and I dont have any experience of the sling you linked to, but I adored the padded ring sling I used with dd and it was a doddle to feed in. I didn't need a buggy at all for 6 months. I too am large of nork and managed to feed her hands free, in the queue in Argos amongst other places and the slurping sounds were the only clue i even had a baby in there!

I hated the ring sling I tried. I found it massively uncomfortable. OP, can you get to a sling meet? You may be able to try before you buy, a lovely lady lent me a sling from her stash when I was umming and ahing about it
