Sling for bf newborn with my enormous boobs!

[megonthemoon]

I am expecting Dc2 in sept and as we'll be running around after Ds I imagIne the baby will be in a sling a lot so we'll need one where I could feed her if necessary.

Last time round my boobs were enormous - 36k! - and I'm expecting the same again. So I probably need a swaddling type sling with lots of fabric to cover me up, rather than relying on my ergo which I love but would probably leave me very exposed! Plus need toe able to shift baby's position easily in it to aid feeding.

Any ideas on suitable slings? Only needs to last newborn phase I think as will switch to ergo when baby is in a bit more of a feed routine as I find it so comfy.

I have a moby - lots of coverage and very versatile - you can get more coverageif you need it etc. and it seems easy to move baby down to breastfeed but I haven't fed in it yet (38GG) but it feels like I could.

Thanks! Will check all of those - and videos! - out. I am wondering if it will be some crazy skill we'll never acquire but might as well give it a go as it could make life a lot easier!

Meg I am a 36j/k and have a Karime, DD2 is 8weeks and I carry her in the side lying BF position and managed to feed her in it for the first time a few weeks ago.

Thanks oops - that's really useful to know.

Any top tips on nursing bra/top combos that work best with slings? Or is it best to just leave them unfastened before I put baby in sling so that I don't have to contort myself to do it later?

I found what DH calls my peekaboo tops (BF ones that have a liftable panel) are the best as I still get some coverage top and bottom. I leave the side DD is feeding from unclipped then it is quite easy to tuck my hand behind her head to drop the cup and open my top.
