Too much of a multitasker to do otherwise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-distractentertain-yourself-while-breastfeeding-your-lo#post-305975 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 03:01:42 +0000 banana 305975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm either on my iPhone or i take a quick nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-distractentertain-yourself-while-breastfeeding-your-lo#post-305963 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 01:03:40 +0000 808love 305963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since she was 19 mos. my daughter pushes the Facebook app button and hands me thE iPad then proceeds to nurse. . I was completely embarrassed by my habit the first time it happened. Now I just appreciate her thoughtfulness and plan when I am going to wean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-distractentertain-yourself-while-breastfeeding-your-lo#post-305904 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 21:44:49 +0000 littlek 305904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I play on my phone while breast feeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-distractentertain-yourself-while-breastfeeding-your-lo#post-305864 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 20:41:19 +0000 pastemoo 305864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I fake-nap, or if it's daytime I read. Love the kindle--one handed page turning made easy!</p> <p>I'm also kind of obsessed with looking at his eyes and saying "Hi, buddy, I'm your mommy." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-distractentertain-yourself-while-breastfeeding-your-lo#post-305847 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 20:19:51 +0000 lovehoneybee 305847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, except for the very late night/early morning sessions. I'm either on my laptop, Kindle, or watching Doctor Who. And sometimes I just close my eyes and nap. </p> <p>I feel like I should be more present with nursing, but little dude wants to nurse so much that I think I'd just be staring at him all day long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-distractentertain-yourself-while-breastfeeding-your-lo#post-305844 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 20:17:26 +0000 pinkcupcake 305844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm constantly on my phone! Especially during the early days... I must have read every single news story. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-distractentertain-yourself-while-breastfeeding-your-lo#post-305823 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 19:58:42 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 305823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read or surf on the ipod. Although she's starting to get more distracted these days. I do devotions during her dream feed before I go to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-distractentertain-yourself-while-breastfeeding-your-lo#post-305822 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 19:58:41 +0000 MsMini 305822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually do, but lately he is quite distractable, and very interested in the TV, iPhone, computer, etc, so I have to focus, but his feeds are 5-6 minutes total, so it isn't like it is a hardship. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-distractentertain-yourself-while-breastfeeding-your-lo#post-305814 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 19:49:50 +0000 Mrs. Pen 305814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before he became a distracted little bugger (if I do ANYTHING he is always looking around and craning his next to see what's going on), I would browse HB on my iPod or watch TV. I'm like you - always doing multiple things at once. I never just watch a movie, I'm usually on my phone/laptop as well. When I read a book, I have music on. etc..</p> <p>But now I can't do anything or he goes nuts. He nurses pretty quickly though and for most of his nursing sessions I lie in bed, or in his room before naps so he gets drowsy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-distractentertain-yourself-while-breastfeeding-your-lo#post-305802 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 19:23:54 +0000 GrapeCrush 305802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would use my iPhone when i nursed and the laptop when I pumped </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-distractentertain-yourself-while-breastfeeding-your-lo#post-305799 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 19:13:50 +0000 cvbee 305799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to have to but now he nurses so quickly that I just sit and think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-distractentertain-yourself-while-breastfeeding-your-lo#post-305793 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 18:55:12 +0000 Mrs. Bee 305793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm always surfing on my iphone. horrible i know! but we've had many, many, many nursing sessions over the past year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-distractentertain-yourself-while-breastfeeding-your-lo#post-305788 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 18:48:57 +0000 erwoo 305788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually have the bedroom light on dim and watch TV, even during the middle of the night feeding. Although, sometimes I'm so tired that I just fall sleep myself. But starting tonight we're moving him into his own room (yay) and I'll be nursing him w/o any distractions from now on. I might bring my iPad/iPod in just to help time pass. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-distractentertain-yourself-while-breastfeeding-your-lo#post-305783 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 18:42:59 +0000 tequiero21 305783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes, I use iPad. Other times I close my eyes cuz I'm so tired! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-distractentertain-yourself-while-breastfeeding-your-lo#post-305770 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 18:28:18 +0000 cranberryapple 305770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Except during the night time feedings when I can't see in dim light, I tend to want to either have my laptop, a book/magazine or my phone nearby to serve as a distraction. It's not that I don't enjoy breastfeeding, it's simply that I'm never able to just sit and focus on one thing only. Even when I'm watching TV, I have to be doing something else! That was before, but ever since my LO developed a bad latch, I've had to focus and make sure his latch is okay. That does give me something to focus on! What do you do while breastfeeding? Sometimes, I feel guilty that I'm not focusing on my baby since they supposedly grow up so fast! =P </p>
