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. 
Any tips on keeping warm?
Hmmm...maybe I'll bust out our space heater ...

Make sure you are wearing socks and use a blanket around your shoulders.
-
I wear a nursing tank and a tEe over it and pull up shirt/down tank. It keeps me and DS warm.
-
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.

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.
-
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.
-
I kept a heavy cardigan sweater that I could wear. It was a lot easier than a blanket.
-
My LO runs hot so he keeps me toasty.
I'd run a space heater if I were you! -
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.
-
I wear a robe and that helps
-
I don't think the space heater is going to help you electric bill situation! They draw a lot of electricity.
-
I have a bathrobe that I wear. 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.
Tell your DH that he can legitimately complain about the electric bill once he starts producing milk and feeding LO.
-
I wear a long sleeved robe at night so I can just pull a boob out but my arms and back are still warm.
-
@sunny: Oh really, you think turning the thermostat up on my furnace equals one small space heater? I have no idea!
@MaisyMay: LOL!!
-
I got an electric blanket!!
-
Space heaters do tend to cost more!
-
@jedeve: i would never have guessed! ok...guess i should just bundle up. i hate bundling up, though!
-
@mediagirl: i just pulled a blanket over my shoulders 10 seconds before i read your response.
keeping a blanket at my pumping station!
-
@MerryC: good idea on the flyaway cardigans. i do have a bunch of those!
-
I wear a robe too!
-
I second the robe! I have a lightweight one that I wore all the time while pumping.
-
@Mrsbells: @MaisyMay: @MamaMoose: @banana: @T-Mom: i think i just like clothes. a robe makes me feel like Hugh Hefner/a bum but wearing PJs all day doesn't.
-
@Andrea: LOL! I wore clothes underneath my robe!
-
@banana: then i would be way too hot. i'm having trouble regulating body temp still i think! i'm always hot/cold/hot/cold.
-
It is so cold here (WIsconsin), I wear a nursing tank with PJ bottoms and a heavy fleece robe to bed. I keep my legs covered with my blankets.
During the day I wear nursing tanks and zip up fleece or a cardigan.
-
@banana: I do the same thing sometimes too. My robe just seems so much warmer than anything else I wown:)
-
I nurse in bed at night because of this....but it leads to more cosleeping than I would otherwise.
-
Cardigan. 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.
