Is nursing/breastfeeding easy in this? Do you feel covered or exposed?

I have a k-tan breeze and would not breastfeed in it. The baby is in the right position for it, but I don't feel as though there's enough fabric to cover. Would use a secondary cover, in my opinion. The cotton version would probably be a little better for nursing than the breeze version I have though. Hope this helps.

I have done both. Typically, I breast feed first and then put my baby in the suit & down for the night while still awake. But there have been times when she's been fussy and I've found the suit calms her down and then I'll breastfeed. Also, for night feedings I leave her in the suit.

to breastfeed in an ergo (i am 32 DD) i usually loosen both straps . i loosen the side i'm going to feed on a little more than the other , sometimes i have to use one hand to hold my breast . But it is definitely doable! You might want to check youtube for some BF in carrier videos!

I don't think its made specifically to accommodate nursing, but I know moms who have been able to. Personally I don't think I could haha!

I am exclusively pumping while my baby is still in the NICU and I use it for every time I pump (every 3 hours around the clock), so I ended up buying a second one so that I could always have one clean if one was in the laundry. I only put it on to pump and you wear it over your nursing bra, so I leave it in my pumping bag.

I looked up some information for you and found that short-term use of Certain Dri while breastfeeding is safe. From what I have read, Certain Dri is one of the safest to use compared to other antiperspirants. It contains the least amount of aluminum, which has been linked to health risks to women who are breastfeeding. Here is the link to the article where I found the information:http://m.infantrisk.com/content/aluminum-rich-antiperspirants-potential-hazard

It depends on your level of comfort. I had inverted nipples, so I needed it from day one. If your hospital has a lactation specialist, ask them. It doesn't hurt to pack it, though, in case you end up needing it. If you don't know of any issues, I would definitely try without first, because baby's saliva tells your body what baby needs. Hopefully this helps and is not confusing. Congrats and good luck!

The cover is removeable but I actually have not used this yet nor seen the original version. I bought this for a few friends of mine and 3 of them say it is the best breast feeding pillow ever. According to them, there are two bumps on the pillow that keep the baby near your breast and the pillow is firm enough to hold the baby up unlike boppy's and regular pillows. You can also buy a few extra covers for when baby poops on the pillow and it needs to be washed.

yes it is... I breastfed and had used it. Excellent binky! Make sure to replace as soon as it starts to show wear.

We used it like a bassinet. It's very sturdy and cradles the baby, offering cozy comfort. A much older baby who is fighting sleep may require the restraints , but otherwise, I don't think so. We loved ours and have given them as gifts to very grateful friends.

No, it's not itchy but I never put my baby in it naked just in case she might feel uncomfortable but I don't have that issue.

You could where it under your shirt, but it is very big and bulky. If you had a sweatshirt or jacket on then maybe people wouldn't be able to tell, but with just a shirt on you can definitely tell. Not ideal for the workplace, but good at home or while feeding or pumping you can wear it on the other side.

I didnt feel like it! You need to clean two nipples instead of one and that is all! I used Tommee Tippee for my first baby and that yes it was a meticulous cleaning (bad) however, loved the fact my child didn't have gas colic though!

It's a little tough the first few times, but it's do able. Once you get it on, you can leave it on for a while without having to take it off. While you're unstable after delivery anyways, you'll post likely have someone to help you if you need.

I think it depends on the mattress. If your mattress has a slick, shiny cover, putting baby on that with only a sheet (or a plastic sheet) between feels cold at first and may promote sweating if it doesn't provide enough air circulation. This pad is like a thick layer of dense felt, and - in my personal opinion - seems more comfy than going without it. It's not in any way cushy, though, if that's what you're looking for.

Honestly, probably better. (It is large on me, I am about a size 6.) by large, I mean it doesn't hug my sides closely and my twins seem to fall into the side gaps. but my twins are preemies, so they are small, so may work better when they get larger. hoping so, it's really comfortable to nurse with since it has the back pillow. It also has a buckle in front to keep it closed around your waist... It does have a few inches of room to let out on buckle.

I think this is average in terms of comfort. My baby does not mind it. As a matter of fact, babies sleep fine in these play yards- however. I may have purchased one with defects... because it is HARD!!!! to close and really- we can only use this in the house since I cannot get it to close without 3 people.... yes!- THREE!
