One of the best ways to bond with your baby is by nursing or breastfeeding. Breastfeeding provides many other advantages over formula feeding too. A baby who is breastfed receives immunity to certain diseases and viruses through their mother's milk.
This is just one of the many reasons why the World Health Organization recommends breastfeeding your baby until two years old. Other medical recommendations include the Academy of Pediatrics. They recommend breastfeeding al least one year and for as long as a beneficial relationship is maintained.
Feeding a baby should be done by following your babies hunger cues and on demand. Adhering to a strict schedule is not recommended. But what happens if you have to go out for errands and your baby gets hungry while you are in a store? Rather than feeding their baby on demand, a mother may worry about nursing her baby in public due to a lack of privacy. Using a baby carrier can help provide the discretion that most moms desire without the hassle of bulky blankets.
A baby carrier will also allow you to move about more freely with your baby. You can keep your baby close and secure while you are completing your errands and without fussing with a stroller. One of the most popular baby carriers that can be used from birth and used while breastfeeding is the Ergo Baby Carrier. These carriers are known for their ease of use and durability that will let you carry your baby safely through the toddler years. These soft structured baby carriers are based on a traditional backpack carrier, but can be used to carry your baby on your front or back. Great care was give to provide maximum comfort for you and your baby. The shoulder straps are padded to eliminate any pressure points and the weight of your baby will is evenly distributed across your back.
You can nurse in your Ergo Baby Carrier in a few easy steps and use part of the baby carrier to maintain privacy. Infants should be nursed in the cradle position. With an older baby you can leave them upright. While wearing your baby on your front, simply start by loosening the shoulder straps. Lift your shirt and position your baby's head near your breast to facilitate latching on. Readjust and tighten the shoulder straps so that your baby will remain supported while nursing. Once you feel comfortable you can continue about with your errands while nursing your baby with nobody any the wiser.
