I don't really have many stories for now, as my Dd is nearly 1, and she is too heavy to carry around while on the boob, but I used to do all sorts of things while breastfeeding.
I walked around and picked my sone up from daycare and walked home again, all while having the bub on the boob.
I have made toast. (can be quite difficult)
I have also gotten dressed (well the bottom half anyway)
so what things have you done while breastfeeding?
Pretty much everything - including forgetting I was feeding so opening the front door to a delivery man. Then realising I couldn't sign for my delivery very well.
Tandem fed .... Bert and Ernie :lol:
Wow you gals are amazing! :clap: I think I've only every had my butt planted on the couch while feeding :lol:
showered DD1 while in shower with DD2 and myself.
cooked dinner, had no choice hubby was on call out and we were hungry. and by dinner i mean steak and veggies lol
driven around dubbo zoo, well from carpark to car park.
walked around doing the groceries, well she was hungry i had he rin teh sling so poped her on dont think anyone noticed
had my hair cut and coloured.. 2 feeds during this.
vaccumed the house.
thats all i think... will add more if i think of them
I'm only new to BF, but with DH away all the time for work I have gotten great at multi tasking whilst BF. I BF whilst sitting on the stool by the bath with DS1 having his bath & manage to wash his hair etc.
I BF whilst reading DS his stories before bed, this can be difficult with turning pages.
I even made him his milk bottle whilst BF the other night.
Anything really!
mmm
Walked around the shops bfing when she was nb
Helped organise, cook, decorate and run DD1's 6th bday party with DD2 on the boob
on the side of the freeway when DD2 just HAD to have a feed (bad timing on my behalf)
I'm sure there are others, DD2 would not wait ever for a feed and I learnt to feed with only one arm so I could do other things :)
yep...had the courier not be able to look at me straight as I BF the whole time...hmmm maybe answering the door in just my bra on top didnt help :lol:
shopping, showered the other kids....even gone to the loo :o cooked tea, sang kareoke at my SIL's hen's night :D , shopped at Bunnings
OMG :o I just realised why I dont have religious chatters come to the door anymore...I remember answering BFing once and they didnt stick around :rolleyes:
oh, just remembered I BF at a friends wedding and reception... not too bad you say? I was the matron of honour and was feeding her when they called me up to do the speech!
Today - Walking around the supermarket pushing the trolley (with the baby capsule) only did an aisle and a half at about a third of my usual pace. Sat on a beanbag and ate salad which was not as easy as i had anticipated.
love everyones stories.. lol
its amazing isnt it, i never thought id be able to do anything while feeding lol..
Yeah - (TMI) but I had about of gastro and stuck in the loo, and had to feed her. Not very hygeinic, but what else could I do!!!
I was in the supermarket and had asked where I could feed my baby and they directed me to the baby changing room which had four massive bins full of pooey nappies and a change table, a sink and a random chair they must have taken from the cafe. I sat down and started feeding then thought 'damn this! This place is awful!!!!' So without taking him off the boob I left the room, waited and chatted with some other shoppers for the lift and walked to the supermarket cafe, all whilst baby was on the boob!! I then marched across the cafe and chose the cosiest sofa chairs and without buying anything I continued feeding him there! A man who was there with his toddler son actually brought me over the hot chocolate that his son had not wanted which was nice!
Other than that I have answered the front door to the postman and written posts on BB!!!
Isnt wonderful we can still multi yask while feeding :-)
I walk arouind the shops, actually he fell off and milk squirted all over the pasta packets oops lol
I have used the toilet like you lilima which is really akward lol
i used the nuce comfy rocking chair at toys r us! It was lovely no smelly napppy bins and a beautiful chair for me! I really should use it more!
I am sure there is more but its way too early lol
Hmmm lets see..
Posting on bb (natch, my first tandem bf skill lol) and ebay etc
Toilet...well sometimes you just have to..
Making cups of tea
Answering the door to delivery ppl and plumbers etc
Walking around Toys r us
Eating dinner practically every night, rice is bad it falls on her...actually I was at a cafe the other day bf whilst eating a croissant and a bit fell on her so I picked it off and ate it then realised that would have looked pretty funny from the outside :o
Im sure theres more...
Shopping, cooking, working, cleaning, dropping off and picking up the kids at school.
You name it, I have done it, lol.. except going to the toilet. Thats just yucky!
lol- boof is child number three- so plenty of times we have b/fed on the go including
-walking around bunnings
-during my pilates class ( he then proceeded to fall asleep on my mat!!)
-whilst school assembly was on- DS proceeded to pull off half way through the feed and i accidently squirted the grade 6 kids sitting in front of me lol
- at the national art gallery with 6 other BB members - no we were not part of the exhibition ( remember that guy LOL)
- during my nan's funeral- i had to pull him off so i could do the eulolgy
-in the swimming pool during his swimming lesson
- whilst having my eyebrows waxed!! Yep he couldnot wait and i was lying on the waxing table at the time
- whilst having a shoulder massage- the poor chinese guy massaging me nearly had a heart attack when i dropped the puppies out- he didnt know where to look lol
- and yes on the toilet- i was busting and it was too dangerous to leave him in bed by himself so i took him in my arms and the temptation was too much for him
As you can see he pretty much feeds whenever he can get to the boobs lol!!
shopping, helping my other kids in the shower, cooking, cleaning.. the general day to day things :)
