I nursed in my Ergo. It was the only carrier I successfully nursed in all the time.

personally, I would get both if I were you. there are uses for both. And the sling you can use even when they are a toddler to carry them on your hip. It's so easy to throw in your bag, or the bottom of the stroller.

I had a ring sling baby carrier (like a maya wrap) that I used for my last baby (who is 10 years old now) and I plan on using it again with this lo. I fed her in the sling while walking aroung the mall shopping and no one had a clue.

This is an amazing website and you can buy new wraps and carriers. I was obsessed with them when I had # 2.

I have heard that moby wraps are great for breastfeeding while you're carrying your baby. They are quite expensive ($50-60), but if you're any bit handy, you can easily make one for about $10 (do an internet search for homemade moby wrap)!

I don't know much about breastfeeding pillows, so I'll leave that to other members to comment on :)
