When I nurse him out of the house I just contort myself until we're comfy enough. I also used an A&amp;A blanket as a cover. Now I just use a scarf, or burp rag, or sometimes even my shirt. It gets easier each time you do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-in-public-1#post-843770 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 22:20:47 +0000 autumnlove 843770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope and I don't really use them at home anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-in-public-1#post-843716 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 21:49:42 +0000 erwoo 843716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope and you'll find that you won't need it after you get used to it and they get bigger. What you'll need is a HUGE cover b/c they tend to squirm the older they get. I'm sure my LO flashed me a couple of times.... :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-in-public-1#post-843705 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 21:39:17 +0000 Kemma 843705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could using a folded up blanket perhaps? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-in-public-1#post-843673 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 21:10:08 +0000 runsyellowlites 843673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never used a pillow, even at home... I love the diaper bag idea though!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-in-public-1#post-843667 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 21:07:12 +0000 dolphin 843667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use a boppy at home but not when I'm out. I'll just hold her in my arm under a nursing cover when I feed her in public. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-in-public-1#post-843635 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 20:47:28 +0000 lomom 843635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sloaneandpuffy: I was kind of thinking of doing this! </p> <p>I like the idea of using the diaper bag :) I'm getting more comfortable in different positions and am thinking of running errands tomorrow and where I need to go is about 20 minutes from home, so jetting back to the house isn't going to be as easy as it was yesterday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-in-public-1#post-843628 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 20:43:28 +0000 Arden 843628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I rarely use one at home either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-in-public-1#post-843607 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 20:26:31 +0000 immabeetoo 843607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When he was smaller, I would bring it and nurse in the backseat of the car. Now that he's stronger and older, I just use my arm/cradle but still use a boppy at home because i'm lazy and it's easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-in-public-1#post-843593 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 20:14:53 +0000 aprk 843593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cross cradle when tiny. I can even do it standing up. If I'm at someone else's house I sit cross legged on the couch, sometimes with a throw pillow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-in-public-1#post-843584 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 20:09:42 +0000 Smurfette 843584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, which is why it is never comfortable for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-in-public-1#post-843578 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 20:07:01 +0000 Katrocap 843578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I use the diaper bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-in-public-1#post-843560 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 20:01:03 +0000 rattles 843560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. When she was tiny, I used the football hold with my diaper bag beside me for support. As I got used to nursing without a pillow, I switched to cradle hold with my arms at home and in public. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-in-public-1#post-843557 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 19:59:39 +0000 oliviaoblivia 843557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't use a pillow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-in-public-1#post-843555 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 19:59:19 +0000 T.H.O.U. 843555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've taken my boppy when we go to my in laws house. But if we are just it at the mall or dinner I just nursed without. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-in-public-1#post-843554 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 19:57:47 +0000 mamimami 843554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No but one of my friends carried her boppy under her stroller all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-in-public-1#post-843538 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 19:51:11 +0000 MamaBehr 843538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. But, when I was flying I contemplated a travel Boppy. I never got one though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-in-public-1#post-843535 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 19:46:20 +0000 matador84 843535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I just use my arm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-in-public-1#post-843534 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 19:45:13 +0000 mrsjazz 843534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Too much stuff to carry, which is why I would practice feeding her in my arms without a support and why I learned how to BF her in the carrier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-in-public-1#post-843532 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 19:43:16 +0000 SleepyMonkey 843532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no, i just use my arm. depending on how old your LO is, i used the cross cradle when she was a newborn - allows you to control their head better when their necks are all floppy. i usually sat her butt in the crook of my elbow and had my hand supporting the back of her neck, and then i put her on the boob. and when she got too big for me to do that, i started using the cradle hold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-in-public-1#post-843528 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 19:40:48 +0000 sslm 843528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! But I don't really use a pillow often anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-in-public-1#post-843527 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 19:39:01 +0000 hilsy85 843527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope...hence the reason I didn't NIP until I managed to figure out how to nurse without any pillows/positioners! It took about 10 wks for me to feel comfortable...and then LO got really distractible and that added a whole other layer of difficulty to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-in-public-1#post-843524 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 19:37:06 +0000 lomom 843524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you bring your boppy or whatever pillow you use? </p>
