What's the craziest thing you've done while trying to hold a baby?

Absolutely ashamed of this but I stupidly decided to start breastfeeding DD at 4am while desperately needing the toilet. After 10 mins of holding it in, I couldn't hold it any longer and waddled to the toilet and had a wee, all while trying to keep DD firmly attached to my boob!

Has anyone ever done this before or anything equally as crazy while trying to hold a baby? Grin

Having a massage in Thailand. The women looked after her and when she wanted feeding they brought her to me and I changed position a bit so she could feed while massage continued. When she was find they whisked her away again. There should be more of that kind of thing for new mums.

My husband and I both got food poisoning from a dodgy takeaway when my first baby was 2 weeks old. You can see where this is going...

Possibly cooking 😳

Pooping a few times

When my son (now 8 weeks) was just a few days old I was walking round Matalan whilst breastfeeding him. I'd never BF before he was born and we were in the early days of establishing feeding. I'm still impressed that I managed it 🤣

I use to wash dishes and breastfeed, baby resting on the 3inch lip between the counter and sink. Vacuum and nurse. Use to call this “milk shake”

BF’ed my DS while queuing for my COVID booster shot, and as I was getting the shot.
