Breastfeeding (and bottle-feeding) in a baby carrier
From articles on the Babywearing blog (17/02/2010 & 06/06/2009)
When a mum feeds her baby — whether breastfeeding or giving a bottle — she’d surely appreciate a couple of extra hands! A baby carrier does exactly that: it frees her hands.
Feeding moments
The mum in the photo is feeding her baby and can stand up, walk, drink a glass of water! One hand holds the bottle — the other is free.
My newborn and I are eating together! Rea nurses in a ring sling — but she isn’t the only one who needs food.
My little girl, a few weeks old, nurses in a mei tai in an upright position — ideal for babies with reflux.
Caught in the act! Last Easter, my 17-month-old daughter and I “slipped away” and dozed off on the sofa. At least I didn’t have to worry about her falling!
Beautiful — mother and daughter in moments of happiness, the baby nursing in a mei tai.
Right after the christening, I needed to comfort my baby by nursing in the ring sling. Discreetly and comfortably, breastfeeding in public is easy!
Breastfeeding while working: my baby needs to eat and I need to work — who said we can’t combine the two?
A video I adore
A dad, a mum and little Stellitsa (5 months old) went shopping in a big store in Thessaloniki; the baby got hungry and mum fed her with ease. The look of contentment in the little one’s eyes as she nurses is incredible!
Beautiful moments, full of love and tenderness! Happy babywearing!
Excellent articles and advice on breastfeeding have been published by pediatrician Stelios Papaventsis, MRCPCH DCH IBCLC, addressing common problems (and their solutions) that new breastfeeding mothers face.
