Nursing Baby Slings. Breast Feeding With a Baby Sling

Breast Feeding with a Baby Sling. Nursing in a sling

Nursing in a Baby Carrier

Nursing your baby in a sling is very simple with a little practice. Always make sure that your baby’s head is positioned AWAY from the rings. This gives you ample fabric to position your baby correctly and then cover yourself. Always support your baby with your arm as you normally would when you nurse in the cradle position. Even though the sling is supporting them this keeps their head at the correct position on your breast so your nipples don’t become sore. As your baby grows it is fine for their feet and legs to hang out the end where the rings are. If your baby falls asleep in this position and stops nursing it’s easy to continue carrying them this way or you can lay them down gently and then slip the sling off over your head. Many moms find they like to use the sling to nurse discreetly when they are in public. Not only can it be used to nurse while you are seated but it’s also a great way to be able to meet your baby’s needs yet be able to continue your shopping!

What’s the best way to nurse my baby in a sling?

Some women can nurse in any carrier, we’ve found that those that offer the most adjustability are best for nursing newborns or any child in the cradle (laying down position).

Our favorite is the wrap for ease of nursing on either side and the total adjustability. A stretchy wrap such as the Moby is great for newborns, but a gauze or woven wrap is easier to use for heavier children. For a tiny baby, you can use the “pea pod” position (fold the straps in half to create a pocket for the baby) by moving the fabric on the inside away from your body to make room for the baby to latch on.

For larger children, you can tie the front wrap cross carry with the pocket on the inside. Place baby inside the pocket and cross one strap under baby’s bum for support, the other can be used to support his head.

For those early days when baby just wants to nurse all the time, consider wearing your wrap as a shirt. Just go topless & place baby skin to skin and nurse as needed. Baby is happy - close to mom and well fed. This is especially good for babies who are premature or suffering from failure to thrive. Mamma’s warmth and convenient milk supply will do nothing but help.

The Ring Sling is probably the most popular carrier for nursing, as it is very adjustable and the tail can be used for privacy. Most women find it easiest to nurse with the baby’s head away from the rings. You can also nurse in the football position this way.

For children who like to nurse in an upright position, the wrap or Mei Tai are great options. You simply lower the straps a bit to get baby to the right level and then lift the breast to the baby (nursing over the top instead of lifting your shirt is often easier).

For older babies and toddlers, many moms prefer to nurse in the hip carry, they simply lift their shirt (or open the nursing slits in a nursing top) and latch baby on. Any carrier that you use for hip carries can be used for this.

Step 1: Place your baby in the sling using the cradle hold or reverse cradle hold.
Step 2:Turn your baby’s body slightly in the sling so that the two of you are tummy-to-tummy when your baby needs to nurse.
Step 3: Pull down the sling rail closest to your body, and pull up your shirt or open your nursing shirt; this should give your baby instant access.
Step 4: Tighten the sling so that your baby’s head is level with your breast if he or she is in the reverse cradle hold (head away from the rings).
Step 5: Rotate the sling around your body if your baby is in the cradle hold (head toward the rings), until the baby’s head is at the level of your breast. This may mean that the shoulder pad slips in front of your shoulder, but you can readjust the sling after you nurse, or wear the pad slightly further back if you know you may have to nurse.
Step 6: To be extra discreet, pull up the outer padded sling rail so that it covers your baby’s head, making sure it is still open at the top.

New Generation Beco Butterfly Baby Carriers

Beco Butterfly Baby Carriers

Beco Baby Carriers combine great ergonomics, excellent weight distribution and stylish design. Every piece is handmade from top quality designer fabric and heavy duty webbing and buckles, and can be used with children from newborns to toddlers in front and back carries.

The internal sling or pouch is the most innovative feature of the Butterfly model. It enables you to securely buckle your baby into the carrier, then handle Baby + Carrier as a single unit. You can pass the baby to another caregiver without removing baby from the carrier. You can also put your 3+ month-old baby on your back very easily, just like putting on a backpack!

The Beco Butterfly contains a built-in infant insert for newborns (shown at left) that allows your baby to ride higher in the carrier in an ergonomically comfortable position. Since the insert base is narrower then the actual carrier base, infants can comfortably spread their legs while retaining the recommended seated position of knees at the same level as the bottom.

When your baby outgrows the need for the newborn insert, you simply place her into the main body compartment, and the infant insert lays flat against the carrier panel. In the first photo at above right, you can see the newborn insert flattened out of the way, between the wearer’s hands.

Beco Butterfly Product Details

• Child can be worn on front or back and easily shifted from one to the other.
• Tall, tapered carrier body provides lots of support for your baby or toddler, holds baby close to your body for greater comfort. Prevents the shoulder strain associated with wearing babies who like to lean backwards.
• Adjustable buckles on the top of the body of carrier enable easy nursing access. In a front carry, loosen the buckles to allow your baby to drop down lower in the carrier. Then lift your breast to allow your baby to latch on.
• The Butterfly has a removable head rest/sleeping hood, shaped like a rectangle with rounded edges. The head rest attaches to the body of the carrier with smooth nylon webbing and triglide buckles. The hood can be stored in the “hood keeper”, a sleeve-like pocket placed on the waist belt.
• The shoulder straps have been fully redesigned. They are ergonomically shaped to better adapt to the wearer’s body, and are padded with 0.75″ foam for ultimate comfort.
• The sternum (chest) strap is now connected to the shoulder straps and slides along their length. No more lost chest straps!
• The waistband is now firmer and more supportive (no more folding over, pouching out or deforming), while still maintaining the same slim profile.
• High-quality fabrics are smooth, stylish, and comfortable against the skin.
• Fits waists from 25 up to 50 inches.
• Padded leg holes prevent chafing of little thighs.
• Recommended care: wash on gentle cycle in cold water with a mild detergent. Hang to dry overnight in well ventilated area. Spot clean when needed. Care instructions are sewn to the carrier on the product label, so you always have them handy.
• There was a voluntary recall of the first edition Butterfly back in January 2008, due to some issues with the nylon straps possibly slipping through the buckles. The new design has buckles that are super-secure.

Selecting A Baby Sling. Choosing a Baby Sling

Selecting A Baby Sling. Choosing a Baby Sling

Finding the best baby sling is a personal journey. Every baby will have different needs and every mother will have different requirements. One child may do wonderfully in a pouch and the second child (from the same parents) may refuse to stay put. Time can also be a factor. If you are only going to be using the pouch for a few minutes, then something that takes lots of straps or wrapping may not be justified.

The Ring Sling is one that is great for giving you a free hand around the house, and is mostly used with newborn babies. It consists of a length of cloth that is attached to two rings on one side. The other end of the cloth is threaded through the two rings, forming a pouch for baby. When the baby is in the pouch, the weight of the baby causes the threaded fabric to lock into place.

Fabric Pouches are similar in use to the Ring Sling, only without the rings. They consist on one solid tube of cloth that is draped over the mother’s shoulders and creates a pouch for the baby. These can be bought commercially or made by hand (just avoid slippery material if you do make your own).

Wraps are several yards of fabric that are wrapped around the baby and the wearer and then tied. It allows almost any piece of sturdy cloth to be turned into a sling or wrap (even bed sheets can be used for this purpose). The only limit to how you can secure the baby on the carrier is the length of the fabric that is being used. These are great for hands-free carrying – in the front or in the back. They can also be used to carry toddlers.

Backpack Carriers (or Mei Tai) is traditionally a square piece of cloth with straps coming out of each corner. It is secured by bringing all the straps around the person doing the carrying to be tied all together. It can act as a front or back carrier and can be used with toddlers or infants that can hold up their head well.

The best baby carrier is one that is comfortable and convenient for you and for your baby. Forget about all the hype and hearsay; before you buy a carrier you should try it out for yourself.
