Breastfeeding toddler in sling

I love using sling as it helps me to breastfeeding my children in public.

This is how i do it when nursing a toddler

Toddler usually can bf in any position.

Irfan is 20 months old and like this seating position.

I lower the baby bum little bit by adjusting the sling so that his mouth same level with my breast.

Then i latch him. Nursing cloth also helps a lot as its much easier to dig the boobs and latch baby on.

Small baby or newborn is not recommended to breastfed by this position as their backbone is not strong yet. Use normal cradle position would helpfull.

You can use the sling tail or your hijab as nursing cover as well.

I know it might sounds easy but hard to do. But with practise, it will become perfect and discreet
