I then began to use a wrap, similar to the moby wrap, and it's so great! I simply purchased 5 yards of stretchy cotton and cut it in half so it was about 20" wide. Voila! 2 wraps! I was intimidated at first about how to use it, but it really is easy! I love it so much and prefer it over any stroller or bulky car seat carrier.

I am short and it hangs so low no matter how adjusted. It works better for my hubby. I bought a Snugli upright carrier that is like a backpack in front of you and LOVE IT! My daughter can see what is going on and she's up high, not sagging down low and hunched over like w/ the sling. It also adjusts for newborn and older kids to support their head. I read a lot of reviews on sites like Target.com and Amazon.com that were helpful. If you know of anyone who has one try it out- it's the only way to really know what will work for you. Also, I recommend keeping all packaging if you get one ahead of time until you know you are keeping it! I got one of those Infantino slings and don’t much care for it.

But I use fabric that I bought myself, so 2 wraps for about 18 dollars. All you need is about 5-1/2 yards of 100% cotton (I like gauze when it's hot and brushed cotton when it's cold out). Then I ask the employees to cut it in half length wise and I'm done. Directions for wrapping them can be found on a few sites, I like the YouTube videos so I can see it being done in real time though. Just search baby wrap.

Boppy pillows are super comfortable when breastfeedin though i reccomend them. x i have a ring sling by celebsling, its very comfortable for going around the house and for walks but nursing on the go is something very hard to do, and i doubt you will find a sling or carrier that allows you to do it comfortably.

Unfortunately, I am not a standard fit for anything (too busty, overweight and short torso) and most 'commercial' ones won't fit me well. I like both the over the shoulder with rings and the wrap one. I think that one that you make yourself with your fabric and to your fit is the best.
