question about NIP

I wound up EPing for 8 months with DS.   He had a tongue tie and I had inverted nipples so latching was a major issue.   I gave up pretty quickly and moved to EPing.   His tongue tie didn't get corrected until he was 2 months old and by that time, he was so used to bottles he refused the boob.   

For #2,  I really want to try to actually BF.   If I need to, I'll EP again since it did work out for DS.   But it would be so much easier to just BF.

I'm pretty busty and when I was trying to BF, the football hold is what really worked best on my left boob...I think I was able to cradle hold on the right.  I'm worried that NIP is going to a bit of a challenge.   I plan on getting either a Moby or Sleepy Wrap so i'm wondering if any large chested ladies were able to NIP in one of these easily.

    I am large chested.  I just used a cover with DS when he was little.  He hates being covered now.  I bought an under cover momma.  It is a tank that clips onto your bra.  You just fold it down with the nursing bra.  No extra steps and your tummy is not exposed.  Then i pull my shirt down to right above his nose and nothing is exposed.

    I'm also 'well-endowed' & I use an udder cover or NIP w/o anything. I sort of do the cross-cradle. Since ds is pretty big, I tend to fold one leg under me & rest him in my lap & hold my boob w/the hand of the side I'm nursing on. (if that all makes sense) I don't actually support his body with my other hand, which is nice for restaurants and such, I have a free hand.

    & as far as being distracted, which he is a LOT nowadays, if he's really hungry he has no problem getting down to business under the cover. Sometimes I'll hold his hand with my free hand until he's focused.

    practice in front of a mirror, I stopped using a cover because it was a hassle and people can't tell I was nursing anyways.

    i'm not large chested, but wearing layers has worked really well. i wear a nursing tank or nursing bra+tank top, shirt over that, and a cardigan and you can't see any skin at all. the shirt just drapes over your boobs. you can practice in the mirror.

     i have a moby but i personally don't feel it's that easy to nurse with it. i think a ring sling is a little easier to nurse with. good luck.
