What are your tips to make going out with baby easier?

Question

For example,  some I've heard are parking in the back of the lot in the shade so you have space for the carseat and can nurse in the car,  nursing in fitting rooms, etc... What are some other tips you have to make it easier?

Answer

Park near the grocery cart-horses return area. You are likely to find a grocery cart and once you unpack it you don't have to venture through the parking lot to return your cart.

Answer

Bring a baby carrier just in case baby gets sick of being in a stroller and it will be easier than carrying baby with your arms.

Answer

I second baby carrying! It's so much easier than a stroller!
 Change the diaper and feed before you leave, so baby is less fussy.
 As a breastfeeding mommy, I keep a spare bra and t-shirt in the diaper bag for myself, after a very embarrassing leaking incident at church (wet t-shirt concert during praise and worship, Anyone? Lol).
Keep a change of clothes for baby, too.
If the weather is nice, we eat outside if we go out to eat, and we do lunch instead of dinner. It's less formal, baby doesn't disturb people as much if she's fussy, and I can breastfeed with less of an audience.

Answer

I'd say park in shade near a grocery cart return, I remember my first trip where I felt like a lazy ass because I couldn't return the cart due to baby already being in the car. Shade helps but isn't necessary. I usually find a bench or go in the fitting rooms to nurse but have stopped caring as much, I once fed my son while in his moby carrier just pulled a boob out and wore my cover to make sure no accidental nip slips happened. I love having my stroller for in n out trips, now that he prefers to be in just that it's a little more of a production than the click and go but it's nice bc if there's no changing table I can just do it in the stroller. If you're doing big shopping, wear baby and get a cart... also learned that one the hard way 😂 Double shirt so tank and shirt helps keep ya covered when nursing I often just do that now, I hate the cover and so does my LO. I can't think of anything else.

Answer

I always try and go right after my son wakes up from a nap so he's happy and content as long as possible. We will have a cuddle, I'll change his diaper and let him nurse, and we'll go right away. I also bring a healthy snack to help keep him in a good mood. I also try and pack up everything I need before he wakes up from his nap so that it doesn't feel like a Herculean task getting ready to go 😂
