Newborn Nursing in a wrap?

[GodChick]

I've got a whole slew of carriers/slings/wraps, but my fav. is a homemade wrap that I made from the Mamatoto.org site. I used it with DD2 when she was a bit older, but have never used it with a newborn before.

Can I hold him in a cradle type hold in a wrap? How about nursing in it? (He's only 3 weeks old.)

I need to figure out a comfy way to wear such a little baby . . . the girls are keeping me realy active! ;)

I'm no help here. I was never able to nurse a newborn in a sling. Older babies, yes. Newborns? I could barely sling them right, much less nurse. :blush

Hands down (or free ;))--my favorite nursing wrap was one I learned on the mamtoto site. I had great success and comfort with this one: http://www.mamatoto.org/StartHere/ByBabysAge/TinyBaby/NursingFWCCradle/tabid/178/Default.aspx
