The closeness and comfort of a sling is very conducive to successful breastfeeding and with a bit of practice it is possible to manage hands free!
Latching on with your baby in the sling is often trail and error, depending on the kind of sling you use and where you are in your breastfeeding journey – it might be a little more tricky with a new baby when you are still perfecting your technique, but with a little time and patience, most mums get the hang of it.

You can always hook up with other mums via Slingmeet to share tips. There is also a big online community of babywearers at The Babywearer.
