Nursing in a carrier is not only possible, it’s a great help in many situations.
At home you can go on doing stuff while baby nurses in the carrier, especially during the first weeks when many babies virtually live on the breast.
Outside- it is a great way to breastfeed with complete privacy, and to avoid trouble when baby decides to nurse just when you’re waiting in line at the supermarket.

It is possible to breastfeed in almost every carrier.
I’ll post videos and pictures of nursing in different carriers and positions. Here is nursing in a ringsling:

Shoes and carriers

I have already explained why I think it is better to have several carriers, and have already said that a carrier is a fashion accessory. Actually, I think this argument can be taken even farther: I maintain that carriers are like shoes:

You have to try both on to see if they fit.
You have to pick a color that goes with most of your outfits.
However, most people buy different ones for different occasions, and certainly for different seasons.
Mom and Dad each buy their own.
The prices of different types vary greatly; you can choose anything between simplest ready-made and expensive unique designer items.

If all this makes sense regarding shoes- why not regarding baby carriers? Think about it.
