How do you breastfeed while out?

Question

Do you pump and make bottles do you breast feed where ever you are? I need help idk how to go about it and if you make bottles how do you keep them fresh?

Answer

Tonight i took my twins out, and breastfed both in the resturant. My girls are 5 months. It went great! Some baby noises, but few guests a monday night.

They dont take any kind of bottle, so if I want to leave the house- I have to breastfeed in public. And we should! Think about our daughters, should they experience the same stigma as we often do? No! Someone has to break that barrier 👏🏻☺️

Answer

I feed straight from the source while out !!! Pump for family members or sitter that's it !!

Answer

I nurse out in public w a nursing cover I find it easier then carrying extra stuff. At first it was uncomfortable but once you get used to it and see people don't care then you begin to get comfortable

Answer

I nurse whenever, wherever. I always wear two shirts, a cami and a shirt, so I pull the shirt up and the cami down. When baby's head is in place you can't see a thing. I also use a nipple shield so I simply turn away from everyone the best I can, put it on and latch baby. Nursing in public is definitely not for everyone, so just do what works best for you! Good luck!

Answer

I feed wherever I am. I use a blanket or scarf to cover up

Answer

I just feed my baby straight from the tap. Pumping sucks, and washing bottles are a pain. I was a little nervous at first but I'm realizing no one really cares and if they do, I don't. Also, when I'm at a family get together or with friends I don't go into another room even if it's offered. I don't like feeling isolated. I just cover up with a blanket or wear two shirts.

Answer

I live in Florida so it's way to hot to cover up while my lo eats. I make bottles and put them in a little pack with an ice pack. I will feed my lo off the breast or in the car but outside NO WAY lol

Answer

My 6 week old is a noisy and sometimes messy eater so I prefer to bottle feed in public unless there is a private designated space I can go in to breast feed.  I also have to use a nipple shield so it's a bit stressful trying to fumble around with that under a nursing cover.  I practiced nursing in front of a few close family members under a nursing cover but honestly I felt that it made them uncomfortable so I just go into a bedroom or private area and nurse and then come back and that's much easier then trying to nurse with what sounds like a wild animal under the cover lol!  My diaper bag has a packet for a bottle that is insulated so I just put the bottle in there with an ice pack and it's fine and can be popped back in the fridge if I end up not using it when I get home.

Answer

I bring a bottle with us.

Answer

I was bringing bottles in a cooler with an ice pack. Today (7 weeks) I nursed him in public because I was so tired of always having to go find a corner or sit in the car or pump bottles. I wear my baby in a boba wrap so while we were at a book store with family from out of town. I just lowered him in the wrap discreetly lifted my shirt and fed him. No one was the wiser and my son got his lunch. My nephew even came up to me and was like can I see and talk to Jordan and I was like ummmm... Not right now. He got mad because he didn't understand why. He didn't know what breastfeeding was... Needless to say his mom had to explain things when he tried to sneak a peek.
