After a few versions - we have come up with a solution that works quite well for the mrs - shes breast feeding, and T6 complete - so has no 'balance'.

Theres a commercial version - called a 'mybreastfriend' which appeard to be cool - but didnt offer the support over her legs.

So we made a wooden version, with support legs.

can make something similar for others - or just copy our design if you want.

My breast friend:-

When our daughter was an infant I'd always swaddle her in a blanket before I went out. This way when she woke my husband would just grab the middle of the blanket and lift her. He never dropped her but I suppose he wouldn't tell me if he did, lol.
