Yes, I find a milk-filled boob is just the right thing to bring to dinner so you can enjoy an (early) evening out with husband or friends. The boob always knows how much milk the baby wants; a bottle is not as clever!

Melodie, that’s pretty funny that a guy was stroking your baby’s head. And cool that he wasn’t mortified when it turned out that you were nursing!

Come to think of it, nursing in a sling was the way that I made it through Target on my first solo outing with baby at around 2 weeks. I actually walked and nursed at the same time, not sure how a first time mom is that bold- probably bc my sister was so matter of fact with the nursing of her 3 kids.

I have GOT to figure out how to nurse in my ERGO.

Hiya

This is a lovely post, having lived in Denmark it is amazing the difference in culture towards breastfeeding in public. It is posts like this and people like you who will hopefully encourage others to be more comfortable in public, well done!

What a wonderful story! Good for you! I love your descriptive writing! I esp like the ‘Holy Grail’ description of a pain free latch and comfortable flow! Look forward to reading more.

What a great idea. I can tell you breastfeeding is a lot easier the second time around and we’ve gone the sling route much earlier – in fact we haven’t even bothered with the whole double buggy thing so far.

Best “equipment” for being mobile and nursing in public is the ERGObaby carrier. My son (10 months now) loves hanging out in there and when he is hungry or fussy, I just offer him a little snack – and noone can see it! (just have a tank top underneath to pull down and a shirt on top, so everything is covered.

Thanks Jen. I'm a newbie to it myself to be honest - basically there is a topic every month and you write a post, then all the Carnival participants email each other links to their posts, which are in turn posted on all of their blogs. I was introduced to it by Sinead Hoben at Breastfeeding Mums Blog so you could email her if you're interested, although I think it's officially organised by a lady called Tanya Lieberman at Motherwear Breastfeeding Blog! It's fun to read all the posts, is great for finding like minded bloggers and of course, sends a little extra traffic your way!
