So proud of myself! And DD - NIP
I've only been at this since last Monday, and I hadn't figured out how
to BF discretely yet. In the hospital was no big deal, I had no qualms about ripping off my top. So we had our first outing today to Target. Of course as soon as we arrived she decided she wanted to nurse again. I had her in a sling, managed to latch her on (with a little help from DH) and walk around and continue shopping! |

I was thinking you were still having some problems. Good for you I didn't nurse a baby walking through the store until I had my third LOL Marie |

I never planned to nurse in odd places, but with number 2, she was a bit random in her timings so a sling was a live saver for the first few weeks. Congratulations cjra, it must feel very liberating!

I had her in a sling, managed to latch her on (with a little help from DH) and walk around and continue shopping! EXCELLENT!!! Good job. Nursing a newborn is tricky, slinging a newborn can be tricky. Nursing a newborn in a sling, especially for the first time and still walking around. PHENOM! I had Lucy in my solarveil sling (BRIGHT turqoise, Maya-like) downtown on Saturday. She (and the sling) drew lots of attn. Aside from the one middle aged woman at the Alamo who came up to me all panicked, "HER FEET ARE STICKING OUT!!!", the reactions were all positive. At the zoo today I had a woman stop me, ask where I got it, and write down the name of the company :-) It's so funny, in CT, people would comment on the sling or the baby but NEVER try and look in the sling. When I taught parenting classes I would tell the parents that if they didn't want people touching their babies in public to put them in a sling or front pack because while strangers have no problem invading a babies personal space, they won't invade yours to get close to a baby in a sling. Well, that held true up where there is the 'New England Chill' but here in TX? Hah! I can't get through a quick trip to HEB without someone coming up to me, opening up the top of sling to try to see the baby better:-) I even had a man holler from 2 lanes over to ask me how old the baby was. She was 5 days at the time which freaked everyone out within earshot. |
