Does anyone have tips for breastfeeding while babywearing? I’d like to stop taking the baby out and then readjusting all the time (since she inevitably decides she’s hungry as soon as she goes in the carrier).

I use both a stretchy wrap and a ring sling. The ring sling is okay enough while sitting down, but we have a regular hangout spot that I’m standing for 2hr.

Maybe you’ve seen this site, maybe not: https://www.littlebearlactation.com/post/baby-wearing-breastfeeding-safely-breastfeed-while-babywearing#viewer-tua26269

It explains better than I could, and has other details I forgot about. All I could remember is that you have to loosen the wrap a little so the baby can slide down a little to nurse (upright), then scoot them back up and re-tighten. The logistics are hard at first. Good luck!
