I watched the video on youtube of the Close carrier & it looked to me that you had to turn it inside out to feed on the other breast (as you put the baby in the strap next to your body). Is this correct? If it is it'd make it difficult to change sides when out & about. Don't know if that's be a problem or not.
Thanks
This is what it says in my instruction manual (I got one the other day)
To alternate to the opposite breast, you will need to change over the inner and outer straps. When you have finished feeding your baby on one side, take your baby out of the carrier. Pull the fabric of the inner strap out through the rings and take over the top of the opposite strap. Re-thread in the same rings. You can now put your baby back into the nursing position, this time on the opposite side.
Hope that makes sense?
huh I was wondering about that too, thanks Mel and Snowy x x x
That' so wierd, I thought a CC was just like a HAB with more structure? :dunno:
Thanks Mel!
I BF Harmony in mine all the time.... one one side, i feed like in the video, and can walk around, still shopping etc...
If I'm feeding on the "wrong" side for the carrier, I just sit down to do it! I put the side closest to me down ( off my shoulder) and put her in the "outer side" (same as the "proper" side) and pull the strap over us both. Since I'm sitting down, I dont need to put the other side up anyway. :D
I have used my for months, for hours at a time, and never re-threaded my straps. I couldn't be bothered!!! ;)
When I think about it PB, that sounds like a much easier option! Thanks!
Yep, it might sound not-doable, but when its on you can see how easy it is!!
I was feeding Harmony in it the "wrong" way at the end of a train journey, and had to get up off the train while she was still feeding. I just cradled her with one hand, and held the strap over us with the other, so it didn't fall down. Easy. I couldn't walk for miles like it, but it still works fine! ;)
yeah you wouldn't want to have to rethread. What a PITA!!
The close carrier isn't really like the HAB. It has rings and it's sewn together on the back, the front panel thing isn't attached to the rest of the carrier, you tie that on after. The only similarity is the fabric, it's that stretchy stuff.
