Now she goes in the jumperoo or I turn on Baby Einstein (truth!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-lo-is-awake#post-608376 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 16:49:49 +0000 crunch 608376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put him on the activity mat, although that's very stressful since he rolls around a lot. If he gets fussy laying there I turn on the tv for him and he's memorized :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-lo-is-awake#post-608375 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 16:49:40 +0000 autumnlove 608375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put her in the swing or bouncer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-lo-is-awake#post-608324 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 16:29:09 +0000 MrsRcCar 608324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put DS in his swing while I pump or on his activity mat. I prefer to pump while he naps, but like you said sometimes it just doesn't work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-lo-is-awake#post-608321 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 16:27:48 +0000 bushelandapeck 608321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't pump much anymore, but when LO was little I used to sit next to him on the floor while he was in the bouncy seat. That would usually entertain him for at least 10 mins or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-lo-is-awake#post-608319 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 16:26:58 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 608319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lately the most entertaining thing i can use to distract LO for long-ish periods of time is his gym mat with the animals hanging over his face when i put him on his back. i use the mat to eat my meals too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-lo-is-awake#post-608314 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 16:24:06 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 608314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just had him bouncing on my knees since he was hungry and was not going to calm down. Very frustrating!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-lo-is-awake#post-608146 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 13:40:28 +0000 rrachael 608146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put her in her crib with the mobile on ... I dread the day she's not into that thing anymore! It's a life saver! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-lo-is-awake#post-608083 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 12:55:21 +0000 sorrycharlie 608083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha I put mickey mouse on the other day and put her in the swing. no shame! lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-lo-is-awake#post-608081 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 12:54:06 +0000 matador84 608081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This has been so hard for me. I usually sit him in the bumbo with a toy and keep him within arms reach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumping-while-lo-is-awake#post-608064 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 12:40:22 +0000 MaisyMay 608064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What do you do to entertain your LO if you have to pump while they are awake? Right now I have LO on the couch and I keep reaching over to give her the paci or to wave a toy at her. I much prefer pumping when she's napping, but it wasn't an option this time. </p>
