Baby sling for breastfeeding?

Hello!

I am a FTM and I have a 10 day year old. I am finding that my arms so weak (even for newborn) to carry him while breast feeding. At night I am using a pillow which does help but I physically have weak ups to hold them up to the boob.

I really don't know what I am going to do as they get bigger and I go out. I already have a huge slouch from leaning over all the time. I don't want a whole wrap sling, that seems like a lot of fuss to do each time I need to feed, even more so at night or out and about for short periods.

Does anyone have an easy sling they pop on? What do people with weak arms do, my body is already struggling with a new born!

Any guidance or thoughts welcome!

A close caboo would suit you, it's like a pre-tied version of a stretchy wrap. You can breastfeed in it by loosening and lowering, or by just using it to support baby's bottom in a cradle hold.
You will likely be able to try one at your local sling library.

Have you settled on one yet @blahblah234432p2?
