Slings/Wrap for breastfeeding in public?


My baby is now 7 weeks old, and I'm still afraid to go out for too long because of breastfeeding. I've only fed her at home, doctor's office, and mother's group meetings. Soooo its time for me to find a solution. I've heard that there are slings that make breastfeeding in public both easy and discreet. Does anyone do this, and how well does it work?

I lack the arm strength required to use just a blanket -- my 7 week old baby is over 13 pounds, and I can't seem to hold her steady in the breastfeeding position for a full feeding without my boppy.

I think that will work easier in a month or so when she can hold her own head?
