I am looking for a sling carrier for my 4 week old so I can nurse at work?

Question

I work at the daycare center she will be going to

Answer 1

A ring sling or pouch is the best type of sling to nurse in. The nice thing about a ring sling is that it's adjustable and has an extra tail of fabric that you can use as a cover over your nursing baby. The advantage of a pouch sling is that it's small (so fits easily into a purse or diaper bag), and has no excess material.

I have a Maya Wrap ring sling that I really like, but I also fell in love with my Mama Kangaroo mesh pouch that I got last summer when my daughter was 7 months old. I was never able to nurse her in the slings b/c she was such a spitty baby that if I tried to walk and nurse her at the same time, she'd spit up all over both of us - ick! However, I have seen several moms nurse in both types of slings.

I posted links to the websites for both those brands of slings, but there are others, and you can often find them on eBay for a good price.

Answer 2

You can find used baby items on www.craigslist.com. Go to the city nearest you and the baby section. If you're not sure what type of carrier you want, go to a store's website (like target.com), look up the sling you want, and read all of the consumer's responses about it. Reading what others think about a product really helps me be satisfied with the items I buy.

If you're crafty, you can make your own very easily. I did and it takes under an hour to do, here's the website with the directions.

I think that's a great situation! Lucky you!

Answer 4

I love Moby wraps for that purpose. Many different ways to carry baby and several good breastfeeding carries.

Answer 5

If your not crafty (like me LOL) you can also get one off of e-bay they have tons of them.
