How babywearing promotes breastfeeding

Wearing baby in a sling helps mums to breastfeed successfully, for many reasons.

1) Baby is held close to the breast, so has easier access to feed more frequently. This helps build milk supply and ensures baby thrives and grows optimally.

2) Baby is more content in the sling, so mum is less inclined to wonder if her baby is dissatisfied with her milk.

3) Mum is able to continue with other activities whilst breastfeeding, so breastfeeding need not interfere with the family's usual routine.

4) Breastfeeding in the sling is discreet, so breastfeeding in public is less daunting, and feeding whilst out and about allows mum more freedom.

5) Other people can use the sling as a soothing tool, and allow mum a well-earned break without having to supplement with a bottle.
