Baby nursing sling?

A nursing sling can be a practical helper for parents who want to continue nursing while carrying their baby. It especially keeps your hands free while moving around or caring for another child.
However, there are some important safety considerations:
- Make sure baby's airway is always open. The chin should not rest on the chest, and the face should not be buried in fabric.
- Nursing in a sling is not recommended during the newborn period; it's safer to wait until baby has adequate neck control (usually 4-6 months).
- The nursing position in a sling differs from regular carrying—baby should be more upright with face turned toward your chest.
When choosing a sling, dual-shoulder models with sturdy, breathable fabric are more comfortable. Since every baby and every body is different, I strongly recommend getting hands-on support from an expert (lactation consultant or babywearing educator) before starting.
