Can anyone recommend a sling for underarm BFing?

hi, I can only manage BFing underarm or lying down, across my lap never works, would like a sling to make BFing more comfortable and discrete when out and about so does anyone know of one that works well in the underarm position?

Haven't tried it, but would have thought a ring sling because you can move it about over your shoulder - have you looked at any? Freedom SLings are great.

I had a quick look at the freedom sling website but all the pics seem to be of the across the chest position. have you used it for underarm feeding?

p.s I have quite big boobs so needs to not sit too high

TBH, by the time I discovered ring slings I had stopped bfing (DS was 18 months at least).

But they're fully adjustable - you just pull the fabric through the rings to make the sling longer or shorter - so would have thought it was possible.

Maybe post on the Feed the World thread as well?

Sorry, meant the bfing thread
