My thoughts and feelings have changed and grown regarding breastfeeding since I began this journey with my baby. \u00a0We are now at 8 months going strong and counting. \u00a0My breastfeeding goal is for at least 1 year and to go with baby-lead weaning. \u00a0I\u2019ve had great success with babywearing and co-sleeping as tools for bonding and picking up on breastfeeding cues. \u00a0I feel confident in discreetly nursing in public now because of a baby carrier. One of my first NIP (that\u2019s Nursing In Public) experiences was nerve-wracking but overall success. \u00a0When my baby was almost 3 months old we went on our first grocery shopping trip just the two of us. \u00a0I had just recently figured out how to use a Moby wrap as a means of carrying or wearing my baby. \u00a0As soon as we walked into the store with the shopping cart she began to bob her head and route around. \u00a0I guess I didn\u2019t feed her right before we left the house. I decided to put this wrap carrier to the test and attempt nursing while wearing her and shopping<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I quickly scurried into the restroom to figure out how to position her while looking in a mirror to see if I could make it look not so obvious, got a good latch, then off we went into the brightly-lit supermarket. \u00a0I was so afraid someone might realize what I was doing and have something to say about it. \u00a0I had heard stories of people being harassed for feeding their babies and I was not that confident yet to endure any criticism. I was avoiding eye contact with people as we passed in hopes that they wouldn\u2019t look or notice. \u00a0Nobody said a word and in fact, a few women who saw me nodded at me approvingly and with silent applause encouraged me to do what I had to do while going on with my everyday activities. I left that day feeling like I could do anything.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
