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.

breastfeeding baby, 8 month #bfing

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 :)

One afternoon we were late at the till of the supermarket as the woman at the till was very incompetent and could not process a gift card so it took ages, my Robert was frantic as his snack time had come and then he started crying as he was in the seat of the trolley and I was very frustrated at the situation so I thought better not have him stressed too or it'll double my stress and I fed him there and then as discretely as possible for what i could, i was standing in front of him sitting in the trolley seat and offered and he calmed down immediately, I did not care what people might have tought, especially because of his age (he was already 17 months), he needed me and I could not bare to let him cry. 20 months and still bf 3 times a day, he loves it, I relax and have a very nice time and we both gain in health. 
 
I've heard very similar stories from other mums regarding the car =) 
 
My story might not be creative but it was in a weird position too =)

My daughter and I breastfeed in the car quite frequently that way. We take quite a few trips that last several hours and I have found it to be the easiest and most effective way to nurse while traveling too! Way to go!! Milk's Up!!

I've breastfed leaning over my son's car seat in the back seat while on long drives. Whatever works!

I nursed my second born in a ring sling all through walmart. She was only 5 weeks old, and nobody hardly noticed. At one point, someone said, "Oh you have a baby in there? I thought it was just some weird purse like bag thing"

I haven't done that in a moving car. But my daughter has latched on a few times while we were in the shower. Once, when she was very little, she latched onto my husband's nipple in the shower. He said, he didn't know who was more surprised, but she never did it again!
