They’re doing wonderful things with duct tape these days.
No, no. You use duct tape to avoid paying a nanny or baby sitter. Nursing requires shifting the baby from one nipple to the other in a short period of time. It would take more time to tape than to adjust positions.
I did a lot of nursing lying down. At first it was because we had problems with positioning. Later it was because I’d found that I could read while she was leisurely nursing.
They’re doing wonderful things with pendulums these days.
And with Pits!
“No Officer, I would never do such a thing. I always secure my baby in the carseat while driving and always put my phone out of reach. I have no idea why that person would say make such an accusation”.
But how do you feel about breastfeeding them in private?
(Ba-dum-bum!)
Well, AFAICT, breastfeeding only requires the use of one breast…
They’re doing wonderful things with steering wheels these days.
I did this on one long trip…but I kept the baby in the car seat, sat next to her facing the back of the car (seatbelt still around me) and leaned over her so she could nurse. Not very elegant, and I did have a light blanket strategically placed so that cars passing couldn’t see, but it worked quite well. I’m not that flexible any more!
Somewhere in all the news coverage of the “Miracle on the Hudson” US Airways flight was the tale of a young mother who, upon realizing that the plane was going down, began to breastfeed her child. It must’ve been really surreal to be her seatmate.
Well, they do say to nurse your child during takeoff and landings to reduce ear pressure pain…
…and prehensil nipples, evidently.
I have no problem with her breastfeeding the baby while driving when the kid is in a car seat in the back of the car. She really must have long droopy boobs though. She of course is using a head set for the phone too.
Oh wait she wasn’t doing that on both points. She’s the person I don’t care about when the government applies the massive penalties, and I’m total deaf to her whining of prosecution.
I was joking at LLL’s expense. The whole “a good idea taken to extremes…”
I have never understood parents who claim that Junior just won’t sit in his or her carseat (my SIL does this with her twins). My kids were so trained to carseats, that if by chance I forgot to buckle them in, they had hysterics in the driveway. All of them are rigid about seat belt use, too. It’s a safety issue–it’s non-negotiable.
Of course, this mother is an irresponsible jerk. I really hope she rethinks her positions on all of her behaviors, but I’m too old to hold my breath.
I love how the officer pauses and sort of checks himself before saying “defendant” when referring to the woman. I wonder what word he was going to use before he thought better of it?
Heh, just not while driving.
Haw! This made me laugh. I wonder if her tray and seat were in the full upright position as well…
Kids these days. When I was breastfeeding my second child I would just sling my tit into the backseat and the kid could help himself.
It really left my hands free to text.
Hmmm, can I be in the porno?
All this in my hometown! Awesome.
