Alot of breastfed babies don't actually need to be
burped, but in the early weeks if she does need to be
burped, you can just angle the sling upward when she is
done nursing. or you can tilt her up from the bottom by
supporting her with your hand under the sling. |
|
12:14:37 |
littleants |
babies generally only need to be at an upright incline
to burp not perfectly vertical. |
|
12:15:31 |
madferet |

long one across the top with a blanket underneath
(either short or long) |

First time mom here, what basics do I need to know about
babywearing? I realize this is a vague question... but
can you refer me to any resources? |
|
12:21:45 |
littleants |
one of the best sources on line is mamatoto.org.
babywearing.com is also good as well as nino.org |
|
12:22:01 |
littleants |
The first thing you need to do is figure out what you
are looking to do. |
|
12:22:20 |
Webmama_Tina |
put www in front of those and they'll be clickable |
|
12:22:30 |
littleants |
If you are looking to distances, work around the house,
mostly nurse etc. |
|

What is the best type of sling to nurse in? I have a
hotsling pouch that my newborn loved but now that she is
almost 3months she doesn't like to nurse in it. I think
her head gets squished LOL! |
|
12:29:47 |
littleants |
If you can tell me more about what you are looking for,i
can help you out. |
|
12:30:00 |
angela |
sorry |
|
12:30:01 |
leahida |
who, me? |
|
12:30:13 |
leahida |
oh ok... probably nursing, mostly at home, at first |
|
12:30:23 |
littleants |
by three months you should be able to nurse her sitting
up in a carrier. |
|
12:30:46 |
Webmama_Tina |
finishing up: leahida , then: angela tcmtracey |
|
12:30:50 |
littleants |
you can nurse in almost any carrier some are easier than
others. |
|
12:31:00 |
Webmama_Tina |
sorry for the confusion. :) |
|
12:31:05 |
hypechick |
? |
|
12:32:03 |
Webmama_Tina |
up now: angela....next up: tcmtracey hypechick |
|
12:32:29 |
littleants |
a structured carrier like an ergo or bjor would be the
hardest. the cloth options can all be done with a little
adjsutment |
|
12:33:35 |
angela |
so is it better/easier with the baby's head on the side
where the sling hangs from the shoulder? |
|
12:33:35 |
littleants |
slings are easy for first time users, but they can get
tiring on your shoulder for extended trips. I like to
use a wrap and then you can either tie it like a sling
for nursing or strap the baby on tight if you are going
the distance. |
|
12:34:10 |
littleants |
if the child is sitting up on you hip, you want to nurse
on the opposite side of where the sling is. |
|
12:34:17 |
littleants |
if it is a two shoulder carrier, it doesnt' matter |
|
12:35:12 |
angela |
oh i see so the head is sticking out of the sling? |
|
12:35:59 |
Webmama_Tina |
up now: angela....next up: tcmtracey hypechick |
|
12:37:55 |

if the child is sitting up, it would be like a hip carry
with them nursing.
http://www.littleants.com/wallabyways/wallabyways.html
the last picture is side lying nursing, the picture
aboveit would be how to nurse on the hip, you just pull
the child closer and lift up your shirt. (this is when
nursing shirts can be nice) |
|
12:38:56 |
hypechick |
I guess I'll go next? I'll be a first time mom and am
wondering about good slings for nursing newborns. I'm
pretty small at 5 ft and 115 pre preg weight. |
|
12:39:07 |
littleants |
oh, you might also have to drop the rings down so the
baby is lower on your hip |
|
12:39:08 |

|
12:39:37 |
hypechick |
I'll be nursing mostly at home at first but would like
th option to get out of the house pretty soon after
birth. |
|

|
12:39:48 |
tcmtracey |
I am an acupuncturist and I am considering trying to
work on my regular clients with my baby in a carrier.
My sacrum bothers me, and I am worried about the bending
over....is using a carrier to work feasible for someone
like me? |
|
12:39:59 |
Webmama_Tina |
hypechick you're after tcmtracey. :) |
|
12:40:02 |
Webmama_Tina |
hold on :) |
|
12:40:05 |
hypechick |
oops, sorry |
|
12:40:12 |
Webmama_Tina |
no worries, it happens ;) |
|
12:40:19 |
MOD_fourlittleducks |
heehee |
|
12:40:28 |
littleants |
i really like stretchy wraps being about the same size I
am only 2 inches taller and it keeps the weight well
distrbiuted |
|
12:40:51 |
littleants |
You can easily pop" the baby in and out and you can tuck
them in a cradle hold and nurse." |
|
12:41:06 |
littleants |
it is also really easy to put on since you get it all
secure and the add baby. |
|
12:41:56 |
Webmama_Tina |
katie are you answering hypechick or tcmtracey? just
want to clarify for them. :) |
