Nursing while wearing your baby
I'm not having a lot of luck with this, so I am looking for some suggestions. If you nurse while wearing your LO and use a wrap, what carry do you use? If you use some other kind of carrier, what kind is it?
I'm currently using a Wrapsody Bali Breeze wrap, which I love, but I am new to babywearing, so I'm still learning. TIA!

Re: Nursing while wearing your baby
If I had my K'Tan in the early days, I think it would have worked. I had a sling/pouch from Kangaroo Korner & I loved it, but I was never successful w/nursing while wearing DD.
Hope you figure out a way to make it work!
I've had the most luck using a short wrap and a rebozo carry (kind of like a ring sling) - that way I can swing him sideways and nurse.
There are some vidoes on youtube I think; if you search for nursing and a wrap, you should turn some up.

I was thinking of this. I know you can do a rebozo carry with the wrap I have, but it's soooo much fabric; I just can't seem to get it tied in a way that feels secure once I get Gabriel in it. I may have to invest in a ring sling.
