I was at out shopping for clothes, nursing my daughter with a blanket over me, I had my shirt pulled down in the front so my side wasn't hanging out, my then 18 month old reached up and pulled the blanket off! I ducked down as fast as I could behind a rack and then started cracking up!! I then, for the first time in my many nursing years, invested in a nursing cover!

I struggled with both of mine and if I didn't have help with my daughter, I might not be breastfeeding today... She's seven months and going strong!<br /><br />If you ladies have any thoughts on items that might go well in here, companies you'd like to see or local businesses you think might be interested, let me know!<br /><br />Take care and thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />JenThe Orlando Breastfeeding Bag Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04875367770023601326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344102055409853426.post-26816564244892539482010-10-03T18:56:46.231-07:002010-10-03T18:56:46.231-07:00THis is great!

NP -- Wow, I'm s...Sarah -- That's awesome!<br /><br />NP -- Wow, I'm sorry to hear that.. especially from your mom! I'm so glad the hubby stuck up for you.<br /><br />My father was a bit uncomfortable with it for a while but he's gotten over it. Now, he just goes into a different room (lol). No one else has seemed to have issues with it. My mom asks lots of questions but it has more to do with learning about all the studies and recommendations than anything else. I've never gotten pressure from family to stop early, switch to formula or eat solid foods (I started at 6 months because Kate was trying to steal my food).<br /><br />For some odd reason, though, people always ask me "Wasn't it easier to bottle-feed Aidan?" <br /><br />***Back story: Aidan and I were never able to successfully breastfeed so I pumped for six months. I just couldn't do it anymore so I switched to formula for the next six months.***<br /><br />Was formula-feeding easier than pumping? Oh, yeah, sure. Was it easier than what I'm doing now? That's got to be the dumbest question I get. Um, I have no bottles to wash, nothing to sterilize, no bottles to prepare at 4 am, nothing to warm up, no worries about the baby getting hungry when I'm out and not having a clean bottle... Hmmmm... which do you *think* is easier? lolThe Orlando Breastfeeding Bag Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04875367770023601326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344102055409853426.post-76552270013114394502010-09-28T06:32:28.630-07:002010-09-28T06:32:28.630-07:00I am grateful to be able to say that I have never ...I am grateful to be able to say that I have never had a negative experience nursing in public - now for a total of 19 months between my 2 children. My first distasteful experience, however, was at my daughter's 1st birthday party being held at my in-law's home. We were about 30 minutes into the party and she was overwhelmed by the number of people, overly tired, and hungry to boot - so I went into another room away from the 25 or so people there to celebrate. I chose the formal living room while everyone else was in the family room. My MOTHER!! asked me if I wanted to go in a bedroom to "do that". I told her no, that I wasn't uncomfortable and she told me, "well other people might be." I proceeded to tell her I didn't care and my husband promptly told her that no one there (many of them, his family)would have a problem with it either. I held my tongue, but it really frustrated me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344102055409853426.post-76543861267237267822010-09-28T05:04:31.779-07:002010-09-28T05:04:31.779-07:00I nursed Vala on the Maelstrom at Epcot when she w...I nursed Vala on the Maelstrom at Epcot when she was about 5 months old and when we went over the larger drop, she unlatched, looked up and giggled at me.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18273010797634988586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344102055409853426.post-21296504969688293742010-09-18T07:04:45.424-07:002010-09-18T07:04:45.424-07:00Thanks Katherine!
