My baby won't nurse in public anymore...I think she is spoiled with the side lying position at home! I've tried different holds, cover/no cover and she just won't eat.

DS can nurse in public, but gets distracted by noises/people.
I almost always nurse lying down too! It's comfy
-
When she was a baby she was def more stimulated outside so would ask less. But once she was hungry enough to ask she didn't care where we were. I nursed her until 2 but stopped NIP around 1 or so because she was really easily distracted out and about and it was easier to have her munch on cheerios then wanting to look up and around every 5 seconds.

J gets so distracted nursing in public now (or nursing anywhere, but at least at home I can nurse him in a totally quiet room). He'll only eat for a minute or so. I think he's gotten to the point where he'll just make up for it at his next meal.
-
Nope. Pretty much never.
-
@Beehive: I think my LO does the same thing...she didn't eat for 4.5 hours and just nursed when we got home from lunch'
-
M used to do fine nursing in public. Now she pretty much refuses to nurse unless I sit her on my lap facing me with BOTH boobs out so she can go back and forth. Trying to feed her in an airport tomorrow should be interesting.......
-
nope he is way too much of a busy body, he just immediately stops, milk spills out of his mouth, and looks at whoever is talking/making noise. not worth it!!
-
We went through a distracted stage a wee while ago but at almost ten months A seems to just get on with the job at hand
-
No, he hates the cover because he gets hot. I haven't mastered the art of discreet cover-less nursing since we still have to use a nipple shield.
-
Sometimes, depends how hungry/focused he is!
-
He does fine with NIP but I don't use a cover. It's tricky enough to get situated and get him latched without adding in a cover. The few times I've used a blanket, he just ripped it off. I nurse at home with a boppy and take it with us wherever we go so maybe he does well with that continuity. We use the football hold every time.
-
Nope, she hates the cover and I don't feel comfortable without it. I usually just go to the car
-
DS doesn't mind nursing in public but he HATES being covered (which DH insists on) and is distracted by everything around us so it is difficult.
