Nursing a Toddler in a Ring Sling
Tuesday, May 5, 2009
I'm posting this picture of nursing a toddler in a ring sling as part of the "This is what a nursing toddler looks like" carnival being organized by @TopHat8855 from the bee in your bonnet. Below the post, I'll be linking up to the other carnival participants as they add their posts over the course of the day.
I also wanted to share this fabulous picture of Jenn from bits of myself: right down the middle of main street. Jenn survived cancer and was able to go back to nursing her daughter after she finished her treatment. This is a picture of her nursing her toddler, dressed up in Minnie Mouse gear, on the middle of main street in Disney World. It is an experience my daughter would love, I can guarantee that!

Great pictures! Baby carriers and nursing are both things I love!

That looks much more comfortable then how we do it in the Ergo.
I tell all of my classes that I couldn't have parented without my sling. I LOVED it and really mourned when my boys were too big to be worn anymore.
THANKS for posting these great shots!
thank you! xoxo
I was so wrapped up in my lovely graduation junk I forgot to take a new picture. Oh well. Here is one from a couple of weeks ago. :)

That's how we do the sling, too! And thanks for the link to the Disney pic. My MIL is a Disney freak and a HUGE lactivist. When she found out we were going to the FB nurse-in while visiting her, she asked, "Do we get to come?" She even made up the signs!
I'm glad I came across this carnival through your site! I'm directing people to read all the posts.
That's a great sling-nursing position, and it's so helpful to have the pictures. I usually just go with more of an upright nursing position while he's still on my hip, but that means I have to really loosen the sling (or other carrier) he's in so he can get down low enough. Your solution looks more streamlined. Sitting up -- tip! -- nursing. Perfect!
I'm a day late, but can I still join the carnival.. :)

I'm not really in the carnival of breastfeeding toddlers (particularly my dd3 weaned last year at 3 years), but I did post a toddler nursing picture while studying a human development textbook with my nursing story at http://raisingsmartgirls.wordpress.com/2009/05/10/my-breastfeeding-story-and-this-is-what-nursing-a-toddler-looks-like-while-studying/ (scroll down to see the pic).
