101 things to do whilst breastfeeding...

[Mo2]

Yikes - had forgotton exactly HOW MUCH time you spend sitting feeding with a new baby... (ds2 now 4+ weeks old)
Last time I just blobbed in front of daytime TV mostly but his time am finding it all much more boring (feeding, that is, not just daytime TV) and am trying to do all sorts of other things at the same time...
What did YOU do whilst feeding?
So far, my achievements include:

• being on Mumsnet (of course!)
• sorting through a huge pile of 'paper admin' that had been sitting on the kitchen bench for several months
• ordering various 'necessities' online/from catalogues
• doing grocery shopping on-line
• writing a press release for dh's company

Dh calls the area around the sofa (where I mostly feed) 'ground control' as everything gets placed there in advance (phone, remotes, piles of things to do/read etc)

Am I strange, or do you all do this?

The huggababy slings are great for helping take the weight of your baby while you breastfeed. I walk down the road with ds2 plugged in though I've got the unbleached cotton version so it does look a bit like I've broken my arm rather than anything else. I use the otherhand for the double buggy (the 3 wheeler mothercare one which is great and easy to steer with one hand).

If I had to stop and sit to feed ds2 I wouldn't get very far and would end up taking the car rather than walking places.

i've been on 2 tv phone ins whilst b/fing! The Wright Stuff and LK today!!
oh and taking a 3 yr old to toilet in a cafe and b/f, that was fun!
