Guest guest Posted July 6, 2000 Report Share Posted July 6, 2000 She was flabbergasted when I told her I took them (and the 1 year old I babysat for) grocery shopping and to Walmart, etc all the time Same here Sue. I have always taken my kids shopping with me. Now it is a little more difficult, since our family size has increased. I need more groceries, and one cart just doesn't cut it anymore - I am filled up half-way thru shop-rite! I used to use 2 carts, pushing one and pulling another, but my 2-y.old does not like to sit in the cart, and would rather drop on her head trying to get out! And Sammy doesn't like to stay in the car seat for long shopping jaunts (heck they're all long now!) so I need a free arm to hold him in at any moment (he has to actually be in my arms, not a sling or a pack). So now I am at the store twice as often. Joan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2000 Report Share Posted July 6, 2000 I use Playtex nursing bras and they are really easy to hook and unhook one handed. I usually lay baby across my lap, put my hand up my t-shirt, unhook my bra then get the baby latched on with my shirt covering his face in about 10 seconds lol If I'm somewhere really crowded I put a large receiving blanket around his head, under my arm to keep the side of my breast from being exposed, then drape the rest of it over his head. Practice and get quick with it, also get the baby latched on before he's crying, which will draw attention top you and get you flustered. Michele I often wonder though...how do you unhook the> bra and latch the baby without looking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2000 Report Share Posted July 6, 2000 When my 2nd was about 5 months old (first was 2), I was out with my double stroller, both kids in it taking our regular walk. We ran into another neighbor who couldn't believe I was venturing out with 2 small children. Her only child was about 2, also, and she felt is was a huge ordeal just to get the little one out for a walk. She was flabbergasted when I told her I took them (and the 1 year old I babysat for) grocery shopping and to Walmart, etc all the time. It's not easy to get out with them at first, but it sure is worth the effort. I've never had trouble taking my kids anywhere.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2000 Report Share Posted July 6, 2000 I was like that with two, three is a different story..... lol I have a very hard time trying to control my 6 y/o ds who doesn't want to be there and my 2 y/o dd who wants to be everywhere at the same time, while holding the baby in the sling. I have decided to never take all three out by myself again unless I can't help it. I will leave one or two of the older ones home with daddy or I can leave my 6 y/o at his friends house.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2000 Report Share Posted July 6, 2000 I love the pics of m little ones nursing, and even have a few my husband took over my shoulder so we could really see their little face. I hope to do the same with this baby, though often we're too caught up in daily life to think of that stuff, especially once this baby comes as we also have 4 other active children.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2000 Report Share Posted July 6, 2000 Do you have a camera with a timer? You can do it yourself with practice. Otherwise the key is to be feeding and not have anyone know you are doing it so they just take the picture. I'm not sure that my dad knew I was nursing all the time, and if he did (which I suspect) I am glad that he was willing to just shoot anyhow.
