Do you bring your boppy or whatever pillow you use?
-
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.
-
Nope! But I don't really use a pillow often anyways.
-
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.
-
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.
-
No I just use my arm.
-
Nope. But, when I was flying I contemplated a travel Boppy. I never got one though.
-
No but one of my friends carried her boppy under her stroller all the time!
-
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.
-
I don't use a pillow.
-
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.
-
No. I use the diaper bag.
-
No, which is why it is never comfortable for me.
-
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.
-
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.
-
No, I rarely use one at home either.
-
@sloaneandpuffy: I was kind of thinking of doing this!
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.
-
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.
-
I never used a pillow, even at home... I love the diaper bag idea though!!
-
You could using a folded up blanket perhaps?
-
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....
-
Nope and I don't really use them at home anymore!
-
There was a small window of time when i used the boppy. When I nurse him out of the house I just contort myself until we're comfy enough. I also used an A&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!
-
Nope, just my arm
