Be honest...can you multitask while breastfeeding?

I don’t want to post this to be negative or judge, I am genuinely wondering because I will be having a baby and want to try to breastfeed. All the women in my family who EBF their babies told me that you can’t multitask while breastfeeding. They said they basically had to sit and do nothing a few hours a day while their baby ate.

I was wondering how correct this is? I’m sure everybody’s body and babies are different. But I had always assumed once the baby latched on, you could get up and walk around the house if you needed to, maybe do something with your free arm. The women in my family are telling me NO.

Obviously I will find out for myself when I give birth. I was interested in hearing other mamas experiences in this subject. Thank you :)
