Wearing a sling, pouch, or Mei Tai style baby carrier, might just make your breastfeeding experience more pleasant for mum and bub. Here’s why:

1. You can carry a baby ‘hands-free’
2. Carrying a baby can increase a mother’s hormone levels thus encouraging her body to make breastmilk.
3. It calms a restless, ‘windy’ baby. The upright position against the warm adult body is very soothing. Often babies happily go to sleep.
4. Your baby will spend less time crying.
5. You can feed on the go.
6. When not feeding, your baby is experiencing the world from your point of view, and learning.
7. It allows for discrete feeding, if you’re nervous.
8. Constant access to the breast, ensures you produce enough milk, and your baby recieves optimum levels.
9. You’ll stop people poking their head in on the pram, and stickybeaking on the baby.
10. You can carry your child in the orthopeadically correct “frog” position - which encourages settling too.
11. Your child will be more secure, and well adjusted.
