Boppy Cradle

Boppy Cradle

breastfeeding in public?....help?

Hi, my son is almost 2 months old and I have a lot of anxiety about nursing him in public. I don't know how to nurse him without using the Boppy. I lay him on the boppy and use the cross cradle hold to feed him. I feel very nervous about having to feed him while we are out and about without the boppy. I see other mothers nursing their babies in public without boppies but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. Can someone give me so advice about how to wean myself from using the boppy?

Thanks

Honestly, it's All About your comfort. If you need a boppy pillow, you could try crossing your legs, (ankle on knee) and placing a receiving blanket in your lap. This would provide enough support for baby and you could then nurse.

But before you take this to the mall, you should really do it at home in every chair in your house.
Also, if you have a really great sling, you can place baby in that, put blanket over the shoulder and nurse in complete privacy, without sitting down at all.

Anyone own one of those craddle in comforts?

I have received a cradle in comfort by boppy. And I put it together tonight cause my little girl is due in 5 weeks. My question is how safe are they and does your infant like it? I also have a swing as well that I haven't put together yet. Which one did you use more?

mine was a life saver.. it was the only thing my daughter wanted if no one was holding her.. it cradles your baby just like you would.. you can also put on the vibrator with the soothing music and it would always keep my daughter quiet for a while.. i would also take it in the bathroom with me while I showered and she always fell asleep in there.. the swing.. my daughter wasn't a fan of it.. some children are, some aren't. you will just have to put it together and try both out.. every child is different.

ps i really didn't like the swing, it is bigger and harder to take around the house with you if You Are going back and forth trying to get chores done.
