Breastfeeding in a Back Carry

Traditional Ecuadorian back carry with a bed sheetIs it possible to nurse your baby or toddler while babywearing on your back? For some this might sound like impossible, but moms from different cultures around the world have found ways to quickly breastfeed without having to completely bring the baby to the front.

I can assure you that this doesn’t  need to be that impressing as some pics you might have seen- those that would make you think it’s practically impossible for a western mom wearing standard clothes ;)

This is not necessarily like that and I was able to quickly learn the technique from  a Native Ecuadorian friend.

I’ve just published an article on the topic and attached a picture of the possition.

Do you know any other traditional or newly invented ways for breastfeeding while carrying the baby on the back? I think this is possible inside a Parka, but I’m not sure.  Any thoughts?
