Can someone post a link to show me a sling that you can also breastfeed with. Daft I know but my thought on a sling is where the baby faces you and is not on his/her side.

Thanks

Depends on the age of the baby, I have bfed a newborn in one of these www.redcastle.fr/en/translate-to-anglais-fiche-produit/p/tikamak/?tx_ttproducts_pi1%5Bcat%5D=40&tx_t tproducts_pi1%5BbackPID%5D=27&cHash=14eeb338e9# and an older baby in an ergo.

Have a look at Jojo Maman Bebe website, they have a lie down sling & we can get a 10% discount!

IB- I love that one!

It's a good design but sadly the straps which adjust the cushioned bits are not very easy to adjust, which is annoying. Other than that it's great.

I think ring slings and pouch slings are supposed to be good for bf'ing in. I have a wrap and you're supposed to be able to but I confess I never tried. Perhaps look at the babywearing.com website which may have advice.

Apparantly it is possible to nurse in many different type of slings, I only managed it recently with a toddler in a mei tai. I hope to try again in August.

Would suggest you join the forum at The Babywearer Website and search for breastfeeding, there will be a LOT of posts which will help.
