Koala Kin Hands Free Nursing Pouch GRAND PRIZE Review & Giveaway! {New Year, New Babies, New Mommies of 2!}


One of my biggest challenges as a new mommy of two has been juggling Noah’s needs and Isaac’s needs at the same time. For some reason (sometimes I’m convinced he does it on purpose hehe) Noah always seems to want or need something while I am nursing Isaac. He needs to go potty, or he wants a drink, or he can’t reach something and wants me to help him. And if you have a toddler you know they don’t just wait. So when I discovered the Koala Kin Hands Free Nursing Pouch I knew that it would be perfect for times when I was nursing Isaac but Noah needed me too!

The Koala Kin Hands Free Nursing Pouch is a pouch that makes it possible for moms to breastfeed their babies hands free. It positions baby perfectly so that baby can eat and mommy can get thing done, or in my case, help another little one with something. It is made from 100% breathable cotton canvas. The Koala Kin is adjustable to fit different sized mommies and babies and it eliminates back and shoulder pain by evenly distributing your baby’s weight! It also folds up compactly so it’s easy to slip in the diaper bag!
The Koala Kin is not a sling or carrier. It is designed to mimic mommy holding baby while nursing. It makes it much easier to get your baby in a good position for breastfeeding. And you don’t even have to take baby out of the Koala Kin to switch sides like you would a sling or carrier!


Here's a great video on how to use the Koala Kin Hands Free Nursing Pouch: 



The Koala Kin Hands Free Nursing Pouch has been a lifesaver for me! It makes it possible for me to nurse Isaac on demand but still spend time with Noah and help him do the little things he can’t do on his own. This really helps me get my quality time in with Noah and helps with jealousy issues.  It’s really easy to use too! When Isaac was brand new and we were still getting working on breastfeeding it was a bit difficult because he liked to latch on and off a lot so getting him back latched was a bit of a challenge but once he was latched on good it was great because I had two free hands! It’s even nice to use when Isaac is cluster feeding in the evenings for two to three hours straight because I can get on my laptop or read a book while he nurses. My only issue with the Koala Kin is that it takes a minute to get on, since there are two parts, and when you have a hungry baby screaming at you that minute seems like forever! But other than that I absolutely love my Koala Kin!

I love that it's better for your neck, back, etc. I used to wear my son in a sling nd nurse him in there while walking the zoo, at the playground, etc. with my oldest. No one knew what I was doing but I sort of had to contort my body to do it. This sounds way better!
