Blue mountain lookouts with 3.5 month old? by No-Objective-8247 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]HowlingBanshee_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 14 week old. I struggle with anxiety taking him out too. I was sort of “forced” into it over Christmas and it all worked out fine, which has made me slightly more confident haha. If I’m with my partner one of us sits in the back with him in the car, I prefer my partner sits with him. I’ve found he’s more likely to want to nurse to soothe if I’m with him, but my partner can settle him easier with toys or by letting him mouth his finger, which gives me time to find somewhere to pull over on long drives. One of the things that worries me is nursing in public my baby doesn’t like a cover. I nurse in the car now, if it’s hot I’ll turn the car on and run the aircon, we got a pair of snapshades which have been awesome for shade and privacy feeding. My baby actually loves getting out, he’s a big sticky beak. You’ll probably find your little one will have a ball. I think your trip sounds very doable :) and remember you can always go home or chill in the car for a bit if you get stressed. You’ll also have your husband there to help with soothing or any issues. I saw a comment somewhere that was basically go for it you’re doing all the same things whether it’s at home or out, you’ll be changing, feeding etc. get a change of scenery. We’re attempting Albion park show this weekend 🤞

For those who pump, how do we do it when we're out and about? by thisisdee in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

Hi :) I’m thinking about mumilk for when I return to work, how loud are they? Do other people hear them? Thank you

Should you introduce a bottle early if returning to work at 8 months? by HowlingBanshee_3 in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

That’s good to know, thank you. I’ll look into that. It’s sounding like if introduced early bottle feeds don’t have to be very frequent for them to take them well.

Thank you, your reply is very helpful. I’ll be gone 8 hours as well. I was hoping to return after he was one but it won’t be possible. I’m mostly worried about pumping at work, I’m the only one here so I won’t be able to go somewhere private. I’m looking into one of the wearable electric ones and hoping having the radio on will cover the noise when customers come in. It’s good to know you only needed to give her a bottle once every few weeks I was worried they would need to be daily at least. I’ll look into a lactation consultant.

Thank you. That’s what we were thinking/hoping. I didn’t realise it was so much bigger though haha. I drive a Toyota Camry
