Has anyone mastered nursing in a wrap?

I joked while I was pregnant that no one was ever going to want to put this baby down (because our last passed away). I think I jinxed myself though because she will never LET anyone put her down. She sleeps in my bed or in a wrap and is held 24 hours a day. If you put her down she screams within minutes.

The wrap has been a lifesaver for me and she loves it but I'm trying to figure out how to nurse while wearing the wrap. I think I probably just don't have the coordination but it would make my life so much easier.

I should add that I have a Boba Wrap, Baby K'Tan, and Ergo.

I've nursed in a sling and a mai-tie, but never a wrap. See if you can find a position in the wrap where her head is supported to the right position. Probably the higher on your body, the better. Depending on how old/strong she is, you may not be able to nurse her in the wrap until she can support her own head pretty well. Keep trying, you'll get it figured out! I didn't figure it out with my oldest until he was over a year old. But I nursed my newborn (1 1/2 weeks) this weekend while playing miniature golf. Don't ask about my score. ;/

Look on YouTube for pax baby's videos. She tackles those questions. GL.

Neither of my boys are very proficient nursers, but I've successfully nursed in my Olives and Applesauce carrier in the middle of Walmart. If that's possible for us, anything is!

When i carry in front with my wraps i just turn her on her side in the wrap and she nurses away. Just did it in the store the other day

I second the YouTube idea. That's how I learned It is awkward at first, so if y'all dont catch on right away try again a few days later. It was easier to do once my daughter was around 8 weeks and was a nursing pro.
