Multi tasking... what have you managed to do while breastfeeding?

Following on from the thread about unusual places you have breastfed, I thought this would be fun.

So far I have attempted:
Washing up
Tidying up

And have managed:
Answering door/telephone
Putting clothes away
Reading a book

Shopping, amongst other things. I had a sling that I could feed in and with a muslin square over, no-one knew that dd was slurping away.

A friend of mine saw someone bf whilst they were barn dancing, incidently.

Oh good, I can use mine again: steer a narrowboat.

We went for a walk once and DS was hungry, ended up bf whilst walking thru a field of corn I think that counts as both unusual and multi-tasking.

I didn't usually try and do anything whilst b/f - I used the time to musmnet

I have copy-edited books and proof-read manuscripts. Was freelance when dd2 was tiny and one job I'd accepted while pregnant got held up and arrived days after her birth. Much easier when dd feeding on left side as I'm right-handed!

I signed for a package while bfing ds... I am so glad it was a postwoman as ds came off and flashed my boob mid signature

Usually nothing more onerous than change TV channels/drink tea, but last weekend managed throwing up while bf, followed a few hours later by running to sit on the loo...

Although elbowing my way through a NCT sale while feeding was more impressive - no cushion or anything to help!

And crosswords during night feeds. Sadly I need too many hands to be able to read.
