At the moment I am trying to decide between the hugababy and the slingeasy. With ds I always had to sit heavily cushioned and feed with two hands one holding him and the other my breast. Needs of a toddler mean that I want to be more mobile this time but not sure if this will be possible for me with my anatomy or if it is which sling will be best? I was always very envious of fellow mothers who could walk around whilst feeding but my boobs are going on pendulous sorry if tmi. Anyone if anyone out there cracked this I would be please for advice..

Bumping for you as just ordered a slingeasy. My boobs are HUGE so last time keeping a teeny baby on was a job itself!! This one will have to learn quickly!

Please let me know how you get on with it, just cannot see how I could feed 'hands free' with a sling but I hope that someone in my circs has managed it, my ds is at the active end of the spectrum...

Tumblemum no advice on slings but also had/have an active ds and he has got used to me bf as he's had to! If you don't manage to bf using a sling try a bf box (box of toys etc that comes out only when bf) as others on here have suggested. However he will try and climb on your lap/ask for a story etc etc anyway. Mine is just two and dd is 6 months and now he says 'eat more milk!' to her when she's feeding and just goes about his business. She only takes 10/15 minutes now which helps as opposed to the 45 they start on..... Good luck
