I finally got my act togeher and mde up my first mei tai, and it is sensational to BF my 2 month old in!!!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have tried everything to get bf and baby wearing happening together...the close, which I LOVE for long periods of wearing and for settling, the ergo, which he is not quite big enough for and the infant insert is too hot in this weather, the ring sling which didn't work as he dosn't like the cradle hold position... And with all of them my boobs kept getting in the way... not so good when trying to BF.
So I finally had time to make up the mei tai with fabric I bought months ago, using the baby ball overall pattern from Jan Andreas site, and we have managed to get a successful feed in!!! I had great access to my boobs and was able to get in good positioning and DS latched on and fed well and I was hands free!!!!!
I spent last night thinking of ways to improve it, including snap on hood for privacy and a few other ideas like that. What do you think?????
I think I have a baby wearing addiction......... !!!!!!!!!!!!!! xo
