The kids and I have been out and about recently, and since Griffin and I are still trying to make nursing work this means we've had to nurse in a variety of places. With Penelope I only ever nursed at home, MSN, or in a relative's house. G-man and I are much more adventurous, here are some of the places we've nursed:
*JC Penny bathroom (and can I say - ick. There really weren't any places in the store for me to sit so we had to use the ladies room. Thankfully they had a chair b/c I would have been even more grossed out if I was forced to nurse in a bathroom stall.)
*Chilis - not too bad, they have plenty of places to sit and I have one of those nursing covers.
*Fremont Park - it was nice to nurse outside. Got a little warm in the sun though... used a blanket to cover G but only so he wouldn't get sunburned.
*Safeway - that was interesting. I took G to the grocery store (just G and I, P was at home with Daddy)... he had just eaten so I figured he'd be good to go in the Moby wrap and he'd eventually fall asleep. Hahahaha. I should have known better. If I'm the one trying to get him to sleep the ONLY way he'll sleep is if I nurse him or we bounce on my yoga ball. Since Safeway doesn't have a yoga ball I ended up having to nurse him IN THE STORE. Not really a big deal for nursing pros, but a big deal for me. I got him situated in the Moby and was able to make it work, but it wasn't easy at first. He fell asleep after a few sips but would wake up if I tried to put everything away - so I ended up doing the rest of my shopping with him snuggling my breast in the Moby. Such a boy.
I keep promising new pictures, but haven't found the time to take any yet. Soon!!

Fun times...I've nursed both kids during the mushroom festival parade. That was interesting. I have to say my favorite place to nurse is Babies R Us cause they have a dedicated room. But we've done it at Sam's, Target, and in the car a lot! Way to go girl.
ReplyDeleteooh yeah, I loved nursing at BRU. we once had a nearly all-day outing there because it was just so nice to be out of the house and we had basically everything we needed, lol.
ReplyDeleteI also liked nursing in the car, to be honest. It was just more comfortable than most places.
