Best sling for breastfeeding

I have a stretchy jersey type wrap, which is fantastic for settling my 5week old. I'm finding it very difficult to breastfeed in it, it is possible but takes some shifting around. I've heard a mei tai is a good option if you don't have a big bust. Ideally I would like one which isn't too much of a faff to get him into position and that I can continue to use as he grows, can anyone please advise? 🙂

The only sling I’ve managed to get remotely close to being able to feed in is a ring sling but that’s with a lot of support pretty much like holding them to feed normally. Mind you, I have huge boobs.

All carriers will require you to shift baby around the feed, and as you will need to lower them down you have to support their weight as you’re moving them out of their safe carrying position. I’m afraid I’ve come to the conclusion that’s it a bit of a myth that you can effortlessly stroll along totally hands-free while your baby feeds in the sling.
