Hi, wen this new baby comes my dd will 19mnt. does any1 have any tips on how to bf while lookin after her while feeding wen out. any tips thanks

It depends where exactly you are out. I often fed when at our local playgroup or in a playpark so older one(s) happily running around with me sitting watching and feeding. The main thing is to have clothes that can be easily repositioned so you can jump up and run to the older one if necessary - so wear a V neck vest underneath and a loose top over so you can pull up the loose top and pull down the v neck vest when feeding - if you have to suddenly get up to go to your DD you can quickly pull the V neck bit of the vest back up and the clothes just fall back over you (even if you haven't re-hooked your bra). At friends houses, no problem as both you and they can watch the older one. If at a coffee shop / restaurant then older one had to be strapped into a highchair with lots of her own lunch / snacks / drink / crayons etc
