Silly FTM Questions

Tina

I realize some of these questions may seem ridiculous but the August mom group rocks so I feel safe asking them!!

I am feeling a little isolated because I still feel nervous taking my baby out in public, to stores, etc. I worry that she will need to be fed and I won’t have a place to breastfeed her. What do moms do about that? Do you take baby back to the car to feed if needed? It stresses me out!

And what about if baby becomes inconsolable at a store? Yesterday we went to the pharmacy and it was luckily just a quick trip but she was in the carseat on the stroller and started crying a lot and I didn’t know if I should take her out of the seat and rock her in the aisle of the store or what to do? And what I would have done if it was a longer shopping trip.

I realize this all sounds ridiculous and that I sound clueless but I’ve realized it’s really getting in the way of me going out. I always try to make sure she is changed and fed before we go out, too. Any wise advice for this lost first time Mama is appreciated 💕
