Coooool. I've always wanted to be able to feed the beast on the go but never managed, he gets too distracted. Maybe with the next one. Well done!
7,308,402
mommit
BALLER. I never succeeded at this - mostly bc I was too tired to try hard enough. Hats off to you, super mama!

Is that a Scottish baby box wrap?
7,308,404
mommit
My youngest did this on this one haha. That kid was savage about his milk. He always wanted to be in his wrap, and when he was hungry he’d scoot himself down in the wrap and start head butting my boob. My oldest though.. he would never. He had to eat in pristine conditions. I had to sit just so with some kind of brea...
7,308,405
mommit
Omg that was the best. I remember being able to walk around the museum in Chicago bc it was also the only way he would tolerate being covered. So I could either waste time sitting on a bench getting lots of looks, or I could enjoy the museum while he got his fill. It was the BEST.
7,308,406
mommit
Yes!! Wrap nursing is the best! Hands free! Get after it baby!
7,308,407
mommit
That's awesome! Is there a particular way to tie the wrap for this? Or do you tie it like normal and just scoot them to one side?
7,308,408
mommit
I just need to say, your home looks gorgeous!
7,308,409
mommit
Multitasking mama!
7,308,410
mommit
Awesome!! I'm not sure if it's because I'm short with a long ass baby but I could never get the hang of it!
7,308,411
mommit
I had a blue do while breastfeeding, too! It was my way of feeling glam, when all I had time/energy for was a messy bun...EVERY DAMN DAY. Lol.
7,308,412

Is the skill THE BEST SMILEY FACE ART EVER?!?! Also congrats on wearable feeding! That's gotta save some time and arms!
7,308,413

My boobs could never. So happy for you (both) though. Looks comfy.
7,308,414

Congrats!!! This is not easy and I never mastered it.
7,308,415
mommit
That is so great! You look so happy! It was a game changer for us.
7,308,416
mommit
Ahhhh! That is so awesome! I wanted this to work out for us so bad lol sadly it most definitely did not.
7,308,417
mommit
Oh yeah mamma! Took us forever to figure it out but once we did it was so freeing!
7,308,418
mommit
You are a bad ass!!

Go on, ya Legend
7,308,420
mommit
I’m on my fourth and have never mastered this . I am pretty good at walking around and doing everything one-handed while nursing, though!
7,308,421
mommit
Genius! Then after feeding they fall asleep and you're good to go.
7,308,422
mommit
Awesome! WTG, Mama! Congrats on a good latch!
7,308,423
mommit
But how?? I’ve tried and idk how to get my daughter to latch... once my milk regulated, my boobs become pretty saggy when empty. I pretty much pump only and will nurse if out in public or before bedtime(don’t want to waste milk) but since I pump a lot, I’m usually not full. How do you get baby to latch? Does your baby ...
7,308,424
mommit
This is awesome. I dont know if my boobs are just too low on my body or what but it feels like my baby has to be practically on my thighs to do this. She's pretty tall... so maybe that's why...
7,308,425
mommit
Good job! I remember the feels the first time I pulled this one off. I was SO PROUD. I’m a bit out of practice now, so we’ll see how long it takes to remaster.

That is awesome! I tried so hard when my son was born, but after a few weeks he was loosing weight, so we switched to bottle. He was 10lbs 5oz when he was born, now 15, he's 6'4". It's amazing to see them grow & their personality develop
7,308,430

It's recessive

7,308,434

Same. I can only nurse sitting down with a pillow and holding my boob with the c-hold because I have a fast let down and large breasts. I see pictures like this and get jealous. I've breastfed three children and still do with one. Between flat nipples, fast letdown, over supply and big boobs, I have only now been able ...

My success was when I was shopping and out of desperation. It was my second, so I couldn't just stop what I was doing to find a place. Baby was in the carrier, I wiped it out and said find it. Lol.
7,308,438
mommit
No, I think it migjt be a local brand - it's called a Noonoopie wrap.
7,308,439
mommit
I pretty much just scooted him over, but the wrap was on quite lose so he was hanging a little lower than usual/reccomended when baby wearing.
7,308,440
mommit
Thank you so much
7,308,441
mommit
I treated myself to a few new colours at the start of lockdown... I have turquoise, neon blue, hot pink and electric purple still to come! Super excited and should last me till the end of the year!
7,308,442
mommit
It's a "welcome baby" present from the 2 year old I was Au Pairing for. Not to brag, but she got her mad skills from hours of crafts with me
7,308,443
mommit
To be honest, I mostly pump due to low supply, but let the little guy have as much boob as he'd like throughout the day as I don't really count it as a feed, more a little snack between formula bottles. That being said, we have just been very lucky when it comes to latching - LO has always been a strong sucker and I s...

Breastfeeding while babywearing. I never managed it.

mommit
HA !! that made me snort
7,308,447
mommit
Hahahahah good one
7,308,448
mommit
It really was. It made me tear up with joy. It still made me tear up when I was typing out the memory and it was almost 9 years ago
7,308,449
mommit
Big boobs, insanely fast let down and major overproduction made me throw in the towel and refuse to breastfeed. I'm super impressed you kept with it! That's awesome.
7,308,450
mommit
Same.. I have all of these characteristics with my boobs
7,308,451
mommit
Lol. I feel like a lot of the multitasking skills come from having your second! Necessity.

It's very similar. :-)

Ah, love. No it doesn't. I mean, it does sometimes for some people, and I'm sorry if you had that experience and no help with it. But it's definitely, *definitely * not the norm. And if it does happen then you don't have to put up with it, or stop feeding!

Oh my god you're some kind of super hero, two years with bleeding nips?! I'm so sorry you had that experience. And you just thought that's how it is? You poor thing. Did you not have any bf support? OK so boobs aren't supposed to bleed, and they don't 'toughen up' (that's a myth). If you're cracked and bleeding then ...

When my husband gets home from work, I disappear into the spare bedroom to get time to myself to read, lie down, or get on my computer. I close the door and everything.

But this morning… Baby slept in until 7am — lucky husband right!? The whole time they were ...

My husband woke me up from a nap to feed the baby. I asked why he didn’t give the baby a bottle. His response? “Well, you have to pump anyways, it seems inefficient”

We had plans to go to my FIL’s house for dinner but my 3yo hadn’t taken a nap that day and I’d been with her alone since noon. I’m 6 months pregnant and I told hubby I’m not feeling well so I think I’ll stay home. His first response is ok, we won’t go either, I’ll just go pick up dinner. I had to tell him, no, you’re g...

"Hey, baby is fed with a clean diaper. Please watch him while I take a shower." Within the one 15-20 min YouTube video I watch while showering, I will have an audience in the bathroom.

I asked my husband to watch the kids so I could take a shower… within five minutes the oldest kid to busting through the bathroom door. Dad had no idea he they were gone until I sent a picture.
7,308,474
mommit
Once my husband ran me a bath, complete with a bath bomb and candles, a glass of wine, the whole nine yards. Then sat down with the baby in the bathroom while I took said bath. SO close. Same as you, he meant well. He's just a little clingy. Lol.
7,308,475

Mine always asks if I just need her distracted and kept out from underfoot or if I need to be alone. We just moved into a new house with a big basement and we set up a play area down there for her. He basically just needs to sit down there with her while she runs in circles around him, maybe occasionally give her a sna...

I remember my husband doing this to me and he acted as a baby sitter whenever I was at work or away from home. He would also be like "come get me if you have any trouble" with the kids. Then when they were older, they were still coming to me even if I was in bed or in bed sick and I lost it on my husband asking him ...

My husband would never do this, but my dad does. It was especially bad when my son was like 8-12 months old and had bad separation anxiety. My dad would come over to “see baby” and “help me” so I could cook/launder/do grad school HW or whatever else. But then I’d be standing there cooking, baby would start to fuss, and...
7,308,479

Gosh. Why are they so obsessed with you? I joke lol but seriously. This reminds me of when my husband is home and I want to chill upstairs BY MYSELF and somehow without fail within an hour everyone ends up coming upstairs as well
7,308,480
mommit
You gotta lock the doors. Learned that real quick. One of the first few nights of being home (after a traumatic birth and thankfully short NICU stay) I told my husband I was going to take a shower and he stood IN THE DOORWAY with our crying baby the entire time.
7,308,481
mommit
My big frustration is when my spouse says "I'm running to the store - I'll take one of the kids with" GREAT! But then he says to the kids "does anyone want to go with me?" Instead of just telling one of them they get to come with for an exciting trip to the store - I mean come on! Small children are highly suggestible!...

Okay, so I just asked my husband about this phenomenon. He says that it isn’t necessarily just because it is time to do stuff. For him, he will stall going poop because he simply doesn’t want to get up (which is fair, we have a 13 month old and a 2 week old). But when I tell him it’s time to start doing stuff, he knows...

I feel this to my core. I've been working downstairs with husband and baby because he was feeling like we weren't getting to spend any time together. Thankfully my situation allows me to work from pretty much anywhere, but MAN do I miss disappearing into my office for a few hours.
7,308,490
mommit
I hate to tell you, but grown children do the same thing to their moms. Train them and your husband now to respect your time, space and energy. Don't be whiny or ranting. Just act like they do and assume they can handle things themselves. Verify with a statement, not a question then don't wait for their approval.

I can empathize. Yesterday I told my husband I would be leaving the house without either him or my son today. Today I made the suggestion “ we” (thinking all 3 of us) go to the park.
