Anyone able to breastfeed an older baby in the Hug A Bub?

[mumiloo]

Hi, I really love my hug a bub but have never been able to figure out how to breastfeed without getting DS out of the carrier. We have an Ergo which I can breastfeed him in but I would love to be able to breastfeed him easily in the hug a bub. He is 5 months old and more than 8kg (in size 0 now) so I don't think he would fit in the "peapod" hold any more. Is it possible to feed a baby this old in the hug abub?

once my ds got to that age i couldn't bf him in the hab, he was just too big.
we moved on to the ergo at about 4 months i think, and i bf him in that.

yep, same, i could never get the hang of BFing in the hug-a-bub. We use our ergo instead.

Ok cool it's not just me then

Lucky we have the Ergo then I was just wondering because I find the Hug A Bub more comfortable than the Ergo.

Sweetpea do you find a mei tai more comfy than an Ergo?

The ergo is still pretty good though!

mumiloo,

on the front defintely find the mai tai alot more comfier. and on the back for long time carries the ergo. Though there are so many diferent types of mai tai and i have one that i love for front, side and back carriers that is so comfy and another that is good but not as comfy.
