Breastfeeding Creativity - What's Your Story?
Here's the story of the week.
I will keep this short and to the point, I know you are a busy person...BUT I just drove to FLORIDA with my three kids and husband (no I"m not crazy). I ended up nursing my 7 month old during the ride while he was still strapped into his carseat. It was a bit uncomfortable for me, BUT he loved it and he was much happier (as was I not having to pump!!) I just thought I'd share that story. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has done that but it worked like a charm!!!
I'm going to miss breastfeeding when he's done. He is my last :(
"Did it hurt?" I asked.
NO it didn't hurt, actually the weird thing was, I could barely feel it at all. He is big enough to lean forward to the breast and find it, so I just leaned kind of across his car seat and he nursed. My neck was what really got uncomfortable and one of my legs fell asleep almost every time (just with how I was leaning on it). He didn't nurse long each side, maybe 5 minutes at most...I had to nurse more frequently but again, it beat pumping and then TRYING to get him to eat from the bottle..AND it made our gas/stretch stops much better because he could stretch too instead of me nursing him the whole time we were stopped. The benefits out weigh the "uncomfortable stance" I had to be in while he nursed :)
Can't wait to see if I am alone on this one :)
