I swear by it. I had a coworker walk in on me once and I was able to cover up before he saw anything. Also wearing a nursing tank helps keep your back and tummy warm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-warm-while-nursingpumping#post-481913 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 21:14:08 +0000 cvbee 481913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I nurse in bed at night because of this....but it leads to more cosleeping than I would otherwise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-warm-while-nursingpumping#post-481902 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 21:08:28 +0000 mrsmenow 481902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: I do the same thing sometimes too.

This way I pull the tank top up, put the pump pieces into the slits of my nursing bra, and then pull my robe over everything. </p> <p>Tell your DH that he can legitimately complain about the electric bill once he starts producing milk and feeding LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-warm-while-nursingpumping#post-481713 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 19:22:18 +0000 sunny 481713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think the space heater is going to help you electric bill situation! They draw a lot of electricity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-warm-while-nursingpumping#post-481342 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 16:48:14 +0000 Mrsbells 481342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear a robe and that helps </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-warm-while-nursingpumping#post-481341 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 16:47:32 +0000 Tidybee 481341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>pumping in the middle of the night was the worst! I hated leaving my warm cozy bed. I would also recommend a cardigan. I would also put a blanket on my lap so it kinda coved my tummy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-warm-while-nursingpumping#post-481334 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 16:44:39 +0000 chopsuey 481334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO runs hot so he keeps me toasty. :)<br /> I'd run a space heater if I were you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-warm-while-nursingpumping#post-481139 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 15:25:57 +0000 T.H.O.U. 481139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kept a heavy cardigan sweater that I could wear. It was a lot easier than a blanket. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-warm-while-nursingpumping#post-481089 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 15:08:14 +0000 mediagirl 481089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would put a blanket over your shoulders for pumping and pull it around you. For nursing, same thing, just with the blanket on top instead of around your back. I love snuggling up with M and putting one of her super soft baby blankets on us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-warm-while-nursingpumping#post-481060 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 14:59:15 +0000 skibobrown 481060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would get the chills all the time postpartum. I think all of the hormones were making my body temperature go crazy. I would sit in bed with blankets covering my legs, and I would put multiple cardigans and blankets around my shoulders. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-warm-while-nursingpumping#post-481045 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 14:54:08 +0000 twinmama 481045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a ton of flyaway cardigans now. Easy access to the goods, but keeps shoulders and arms warm. Ones with fold over collars are even better so you can pull it over your decolletage too :) Also very handy for nursing in public without a true cover. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-warm-while-nursingpumping#post-480933 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 13:56:17 +0000 matador84 480933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear a nursing tank and a tEe over it and pull up shirt/down tank. It keeps me and DS warm. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-warm-while-nursingpumping#post-480890 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 13:45:24 +0000 Bluebonnet 480890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Make sure you are wearing socks and use a blanket around your shoulders. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-warm-while-nursingpumping#post-480881 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 13:42:44 +0000 Andrea 480881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've turned the thermostat up a few degrees since being home since I'm always half naked either nursing or pumping. DH is already complaining about our electric bill. :-P Any tips on keeping warm?</p> <p>Hmmm...maybe I'll bust out our space heater ... </p>
