Re: Pumping in traffic.

[Guest guest]

I want to feel included and don't mind nursing him but man oh man he is starting to bug me. At least he doens't ask to nurse everytime I am feeding the baby just almost everytime. I try to noly let him when she has already finished one side so I know she is getting enough. (Althought her huge weight gain I shouldn't worry about that) Amy

I know that feeling! Keely wanted to nurse every time the baby did for awhile. I didn't want to reject her but I just couldn't do it. Now that Rowan is 5 months old she is fine with watching him nurse without asking for herself.

I missed the first post on this but wanted to add that I've pumped in

the car, too. WHen was 3 months old I went back to work part

time (I would get home at 1 and Daddy would leave for work at 2). My

commute was an hour each way. I would get ready in the morning and

nurse before I left if she got up. If she was still sleeping

then I'd run out the door for work, still very full from the night.

I'd just pump on the way to work (put the pump under my shirt and off

I'd go!). I had a very plentiful supply and lots of milk in the fridge

and freezer so Daddy would just give her expressed milk when she woke

up.

Really wasn't difficult.
