Caring for Newborns

[sunnydays]

A nice coldTiger beer. That's my go-to stress reliever. Sometimes I wonder how all the noise and chaos suddenly became so bearable... motherhood, eh? But yup, nothing beats the calm that comes after the storm. Especially when you can just gaze at your little one all snuggled up, looking contentedly blissful.

Now, tell me, how do you manage those awkward breastfeeding moments in public? I remember struggling with discretion and being self-conscious initially.

Breastfeeding in public can be a challenge! Having a few discreet nursing covers or scarves definitely helps. I also found that practicing at home first helped me feel more comfortable and confident with the process, so by the time I needed to feed my baby while out and about, it felt like second nature.

Choosing outfits that provide easy access is another useful tip - and often, no one will even realise you're breastfeeding! A loose-fitting top or a dress with a generous neckline helps tremendously in providing ease of access without the fuss.

I'd also recommend having a snack and some water handy whenever you feed, as it's easy to get thirsty and hungry in those moments. It can be a good opportunity to slow down and take a breath too, enjoying the special bonding time with your little one while they feed.

Have you discovered any good nursing hacks that help make the experience more manageable?
