Wrap or sling that I can nurse??

Okay, I can't survive having a 2 year old and not having my hands free while LO nurses. Is there a wrap or sling that is snug enough that we might pull off nursing while he's wrapped up? Especially directed to the expert ;-) @Nickiechan‌ I'm looking to spend around $50 and not much more since I'm just starting to dabble in baby wearing.

  • I still have an inside baby, but I got the boba wrap for under $40 after some research. You are supposed to be able to nurse in it, but I haven't actually done so yet.

  • I have the boba but I haven't nursed in it yet. I will say that the fit is entirely up to you & you can certainly get that thing snug. I like mine snug so I can feel comfortable about not having any hands on LO while wearing it. I love mine when grocery shopping or doing things around the house when LO won't let me put him down.

    I nurse in my ring sling, but it isn't exactly hands free at this age.

  • I have a moby and it was right in your price range. I haven't nursed in it yet, but I googled and found some videos that make it look really easy.

  • I know many that can nurse in a ring sling, but I have never done it myself.

  • Moby or Boba wrap you can nurse in while he/she is a newborn and you can find them around consignment sales for around $35 or less. I am nursing in my table cloth wrap in rebozo carry but that includes a little but of craftiness and sewing. Which is similar to ring sling. The table cloth I use is mahogany Brand 100th cut in middle to give me a 3m or short size 3 wrap.

  • I'm going to be a FTM & hadn't even considered nursing!  I was leaning towards a wrap over a more structured carrier, & this just sealed the deal for me.  Thanks for sharing.

  • Thank you so much ladies. I think I'll look into the Moby and go from there.
