Breastfeeding while babywearing
Many breastfeeding mothers find that, with a little practice, they can easily breastfeed while babywearing.
SAFETY NOTE: A baby carrier can help a breastfeeding mother hold her nursling more comfortably and it can also provide some privacy for nursing in company; however, the mother must still pay constant attention to her breastfeeding baby. Of the reported cases of infants suffocating during breastfeeding, at least one infant died of suffocation in connection with breastfeeding in a sling. (See Instructive Case: Delayed infant death following catastrophic deterioration during breastfeeding, J. Paediatr. Child Health (2005) 41, 215-217 (stating that the mother was breastfeeding her infant in a sling while shopping).
Here is a list of links which will show you how to nurse in a carrier:
