NIP: Ready to whip it out, if needed!

I am a big lactivist and if a mom wants to nurse in public, she should feel comfortable doing so.

I have nursed in many public places.  I was ready to whip it out, if needed.

Here are just a few:

(BTW, pretty discrete don’t you think?  I never used a blanket, but I don’t think this could offend anyone.)

• Disneyland, while waiting for Dumbo (and numerous other rides).
• At a holiday business party at my husbands work.  Sitting right there at the table with everyone, with GASP, no blanket!
• Walking around shopping for Halloween costumes at JC Penny.
• Walking around shopping at Costco.
• At Church, sitting with the congregation.
• At the Park.

Really whenever and wherever my babies were hungry, I fed them.

No one ever said anything.  But I was ready if they did.

I had printed off my state’s law and had it in my diaper bag, ready to whip IT out too, if needed!

Posted in honor of the Nursing in Public Carnival.  I found out about it too late to officially join, but I am all about Nursing in Public.  I may have to have another baby, just to join in the fun.  🙂

So moms, if you are nursing, stand proud and nurse your baby whenever he gets hungry.  I will be smiling at you and giving you a thumbs up!

(I have to add, it took me a good 4-6 weeks to get comfortable nursing in public with each of my boys.  It takes awhile for them to learn to latch themselves on easily.  But after 4-6 weeks, they had it figured out and it was easy.)
