The Chicago Loop - Nursing
- The loop should never be used standing or to transport baby. Only wear when seated and always supporting baby closely.
- Be mindful of your layers so that you and baby do not overheat. You will keep each other warmer than you think.
- Always remove your cover if baby falls asleep whilst feeding.
- Do not use “hands free” unsupported whilst breastfeeding. Don’t worry, your hands are still free for coffee and cake, but keep baby’s head supported in your arm at all times.
