Is there a sling I can buy that ds4 can bf in?

that isn't too expensive. He is feeding constantly at times and I thought maybe I sling would be helpful as ds3 isn't quite 2 yet and I'm finding looking after them both and getting anything done around the house hard

How old is he?

He's 4 weeks tomorrow

You could try a ring sling, but to be honest it might be tricky to breastfeed safely in a sling handsfree/while doing other stuff at that age - for safety you need to be able to ensure that the baby's nose is uncovered and airways are clear and really the baby should always be positioned high enough in the sling that you can kiss the top of their head. It's easier to feed handsfree once they are a bit older and you can have them upright rather than cradled and they support their own heads.

Ok not a good idea then, hadn't thought about keeping airways open (sleep deprived!) so I just need to look into buying something comfortable to carry him around in.

Victoria Slinglady stretchy wrap (she has a website and also sells on eBay). Basically the same as a moby but loads cheaper. Just tie it on and pop baby in and out when you need to :)
