Breastfeeding with a sling

[bubbaloo]

What is the best sling for discreet BFing?

Bub's feeds still take about an hour each and so far I've planned all my outings so that I can be home in time for the next feed. As this is rather limiting (and often a logistical nightmare!) I'd really like to have some way I can BF discreetly in public. I do have some BF tops, but it still seems I have to expose myself a bit for the beginning/latching-on part of the process IYKWIM.

Is there a sling that will enable a discreet latch-on??? (I do have a HAB but BFing with it looks rather tricky)

Many thanks! (and I'm very sorry if this has been asked before - I have limited internet access lately and haven't time to check!)

i have an infantino & it says it is designed for breastfeeding - i used it numerous times & its brilliant - can even manage to walk around while bf & no one can tell

I haven't mastered the art of BF in a sling just yet either - does anyone currently BF with an Ergo? If so, how tricky is it?

i'm considering purchasing an ergo, and would also be interested to know if its easy to feed in or not?

Hi I have a BaaBaa sling I have tried others but have to say for me this one has been the best, I breastfed Melissa and Nathan very discretely in it and had arms free to push the trolley. It was awesome for me.

I got a baby sling company ring sling today. I've only used it once for BF and loved it! I could walk around and I didn't need to use a pillow to help me support my bub. Also, she settled straight away after the feed which has never happened before.

I hardly had to hold her while feeding at all, just had to lightly keep her head in the right position so she didn't detatch.

I haven't BF with a sling (yet, just a got a sling and Bubbybean#2 on the way) but I fed bubbybean when he was in the ergo very successfully, I used the hood and just kept an eye on the "flashing factor" but I had no problems at all, and I could walk around and continue shopping and even bidding at auctions!
