How to Discreetly Nurse a Newborn in a wrap (e.g. Moby Wrap, Sleepy Wrap)

Here's a little tutorial on how to nurse a newborn in a babywrap. I just want to clarify one thing... when I say that small newborns don't need a lot of support, I mean they don't need a lot of support FROM THE WRAP. I know small newborns are extremely wobbly and need a lot of support and help getting (and staying) latched, but since they don't typically weigh much, they don't need much support from the wrap. The older and bigger your baby gets, the more support you will need from the wrap! Check out my blog for more tutorials on how to easily make a no-sew baby wrap & the variety of ways to use them: http://thehappyhippiehomemaker.blogspot.com/2010/08/how-to-make-baby-wrap.html

Thanks for your interest. I actually have a detailed tutorial on my blog (thehappyhippiehomemaker.blogs­pot.com), but for some reason it's not letting me post the link. This particular wrap is 95% cotton 5% spandex, and it is 23 inches wide and 5 yards long.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions :)

How did you make your wrap? Stretchy fabric, but what are the measurements (please)?
