You can stand down. I win. The marathon in particular.

I'd like a special mention for last week at the bus stop where in the pouring rain I managed to wrangle out of the pram and bf 3 month old ds, whilst undoing 789 layers on 4yo dd and holding her up to wee against a hedge (bus v v v late, middle of nowhere, at least an hour to a public loo) and at the same time managed to hook my foot round the pram as it started a slow descent down the hill. I then righted dd, redressed her, fixed the brake on the pram and managed to locate my bus pass in the change bag in about 7 seconds flat as the number 1 bus rounded the corner while dd was mid flow.

DS didn't break his latch once.

I can also do a monthly food shop, pay, pack the bags and load the car while feeding a poorly 3 month old. I found this out on Saturday.

Can enter into the twin heat, i can tandem feed my 5mth twins and race the italian one from roary around ds1s car mat with my right foot! Grin

Ps showy, excellent effort in the marathon category, at the moment you stand in gold medal position, skinny, you may need to up your game a little, silver for you so far! Grin

I discovered it is possible to feed 6wk dd while revolving slowly under the shark tunnel at deep sea world Grin. That is perhaps only bronze standard so I shall add in that I was doing signing to the divers with dd1 at the same time!

SkinnyGirlBethany · 28/11/2011 11:18

Wow- now we have an aquatics section- anyone else?Grin

i'd like to compete for most public breastfeeds in 24 hours.

11am - in front of some donkeys at the farm
1pm - in nandos with DP
2:30pm - at the bus stop on they way to Dp's football match
3:30pm - in the crowd at DP's football match
6:00pm - In a VERY crowded A&E when DP hurt his knee at said match

up until then I'd never done it in public before!!

or breastfeeding in close proximity to strangers. On one of those '4' tables on a train to london. two people moved :(

Can I enter DS for the cutest 'ahh' after bfing? GF

nomoremagnolia · 28/11/2011 11:53

GF (grandfather) taught him to do it after he'd had a drink (like when an adult goes ahhh after a sip of tea) and now he looks into my eyes after unlatching and goes 'ahhhh'

nomoremagnolia · 28/11/2011 11:54

oops - didn't mean to post that in two halves - laptop being weird!

nomoremagnolia · 28/11/2011 11:56

JAMW - what a baptism of fire for public bfing! I'll give you a medal for that, well done!

SkinnyGirlBethany · 28/11/2011 13:21

For my entry to the slalom - I steered a double pushchair laden down with a weeks shopping and DD2, down the high street across the level crossing and almost all the way home at a belting pace whilst bfing 6 week old DD3 (no sling!) as we had to get to playschool to pick up DD1 (it's normally a 25 min walk at a good pace I did it in 15!).

For my entry in the no more room on my lap category - I tandem nursed to 8m pg a 3.6y & a 22m old (though not at the same time - boo).

For the agility category - I can bf a newborn and change a toddler's nappy (on the floor though!) and have hung the washing out whilst bfing (in a sling though so perhaps cheatingWink) I have also managed to get out of too tight jeans, go to the loo and do the jeans back up whilst bfing a squirmy 3/4m with out breaking latch!

entropygirl · 28/11/2011 14:05

I'd like to enter DD for best BFing air guitar performance. she has a range of moves including the windmill, multiple plucking modes and of course hauling off and slapping me repeatedly around the face....very rock and roll.

SkinnyGirlBethany · 28/11/2011 17:33

Well my dd can do the boxing as she punches my boobs. Lots.

I cooked a fish finger tea for dc1 & 2 whilst bf 7 wk old dc3 last wk...surely worthy of a bronze medal?!

Feeding throughout making a complaint to the manager in the leisure centre.

Going down the stairs on a double decker Edinburgh bus with 4yo ds1 and lots of bags whilst feeding ds2.

Swings, chutes, sandpits - in fact any park event at all.

Similtaneous feeding and nappy changing on the same child.

Feeding ds2 whilst holding ds1 up in the woods for a pee (he didn't do standing peeing at that point!!)

Also, the endurance event. 6years and 1month without stopping, well apart from in between feeds of course Wink and no end in sight for probably another couple of years.

And of course the feeding in my sleep event. I would deffo win gold!

Albrecht · 28/11/2011 23:04

Feeding 1 year old while drying and dressing both of us after swimming - I only break the latch to get my vest over boobs. Quite a timesaver.

Not sure I'd tell anyone this in RL, thanks op.

otchayaniye · 30/11/2011 12:16

similar to showofhands, but fed i don't have a pram and the other week fed my youngest in sling while backcarrying 3 year old from nursery and having to get her on and off for an alfresco wee midway and took a call from husband.

frequently cook and entertain feeding daughter and had to feed on very busy train but noone noticed ( i think)
