  i have heard some gr8 reviews from others but i bought one and didnt feel that grace was very secure in it and i never attempted feeding in it.I too bought it for the same reason that you ladies are considering it because i have a toddler too but i felt it would have feen very fiddly feeding in it although i do have large breasts so that did make latching on a big harder in the early days.Some other ladies on here used them so hopefully you can get some good reviews.Good luck with your pregnancys and its great you r choosing to bf,it really is a wonderful experience!! hanna n baby gracie xxx

  oh i love my cradle/pouch sling! I can feed Molly in it and have my hands free to wipe my 2 year olds face, read him a book etc. I have only tried this sitting down but she always falls asleep feeding so i can get up without disturbing her and get on with the hoovering and dishes with her still in the sling. The sling is custom made for me so fits me like a glove.
  
  I got it made for me off etsy -

  Molly had just finished feeding in this pic and fallen asleep so i could get on with important stuff like BE! x

  aw thanks, i do love it and i have a matching blanket in the same material.
  
  yeah, my son Zach was such a hair puller so i wanted to prevent Molly from doing it! It is a Breast Buddies one off ebay -

  To early to tell if it will work but she does hold onto it occasionally.

  yeah, it is going perfectly after the mastitis i had at the start. I bf my son until he went onto cows milk at 11 months and am hoping to do the same with Molly. I want to give them the best start in life. Zach is a very healthy boy, above average in height and hardly ever ill.
  
  how about you? sorry i hardly post on this part of the forum so don't know everyones story.
