Can someone find me a sling which I can BF in that won't make me look like a weaver of lenticles?

the wrap i think you need is one that measures 4.6m. if you are a size 12 or smaller, you can do all the carries with this length. for the summer, a cotton gauze wrap from calin bleu will do the trick. don't worry too much about overheating. in hot countries people wrap too.

also if you look at the didymos website, the wrap i recommend for putting on sling and then inserting a baby is the 'front carry (variation)'. it looks complicated but if you follow the steps, it is idiot proof.

i don't have time at the moment to look for a video of it, but maybe if you go to youtube and type in what i wrote in brackets, you may get a video?

it does but you will be surprised how much wrap some fabrics use.

this wrap which is perfect from newborn to toddler and you can tie it before inserting child, and is a simple tie, then even you will need 5 m of fabric if larger than a size 12 or is it 14.

this page gives you an idea of which length of wrap you need for which carry and body size.
