You are lucky. don't worry about what others think most likely they are not even paying attention. And a bf sling is a great idea. I had to go to a hand pump and leave my son in the hospital NICU for 6 days after I was released and my milk supply demished but I didn't give up I keep trying for a long time but ended up just supplmenting with formula and a bottle after first trying to bf as much as possible before the bottle. Well good luck and I got a breast pump from WIC but I never got my milk back up and I used the mothers milk too and redraspberry tea as well but still couldn't get milk backup. Anyway had to turn my pump back in after he turned a yr. old and I still was trying and I think I could have done better if I had had better support to begin with from the hospital and the family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4047251100310275845.post-20534247364339990282008-05-23T23:22:00.000+08:002008-05-23T23:22:00.000+08:00Thanks everyone for all the advice :)Thanks everyone for all the advice :)Health Freak Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16667292699809775619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4047251100310275845.post-65021871162095234502008-05-20T22:27:00.000+08:002008-05-20T22:27:00.000+08:00i love breastfeeding qiqi directly as it is conven...i love breastfeeding qiqi directly as it is convenient. Sometimes i feed her in the car before I get down. Sometimes I just hide myself seated in one corner of the shopping mall to feed. Sometimes I go into the changing room.<BR/><BR/>I do bring along a nappy to cover, just in case. People understand when they see u carry a baby like that in one corner.Chinneeqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14685808034935435030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4047251100310275845.post-7264153910145439442008-05-20T18:16:00.000+08:002008-05-20T18:16:00.000+08:00Ya..get a sling..very convenient and easy.Ya..get a sling..very convenient and easy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4047251100310275845.post-11434624091231009462008-05-18T23:19:00.000+08:002008-05-18T23:19:00.000+08:00I bf my Abilash exclusively for 2.5 yrs without an...I bf my Abilash exclusively for 2.5 yrs without any formula. I bf him anywhere as couldnt be bothered what people said or think. Since he was already 2 plus I straight intro cup instead of bottle.

So used to distract him with Barney , etc CDs WHICH TOOK A LONG TIME FOR HIM TO FINISH HIS MILKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4047251100310275845.post-58438928605926930682008-05-18T22:13:00.000+08:002008-05-18T22:13:00.000+08:00I don't hide in the nursing room or wash room to f...I don't hide in the nursing room or wash room to feed my baby. I feed on the go. With a nursing top plus a sling, it's possible to feed your baby discreetly almost anywhere. I have not offer JL's bottle, she's drinking water from cup now, with WH also I didn't introduce the milk bottle until he was 1.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
