Feeding baby while out and about

PinkeLLe2

We are going to the mall and to run a few errands today. As soon as DS gets in the carseat, he is out and stays out. I'm sure we'll be out a few hours so what should I do about feeding him? We've taken him out to the mall before and after 3-4 hours, I've tried getting him out of his seat and feeding him but he will not wake up for anything. The carseat really just knocks him out. Do I just let him sleep and feed him when we get back home??

Let him sleep. If he's hungry, he'll wake up! Have a good shopping trip! My DD hates the carseat, so you're lucky!

ditto!  My DS HATES his carseat too.  You are very lucky yours likes theirs so much.

Just let him sleep! If/when the girls get hungry while out, I'll stop and mix their bottles and just feed them while they are in their carseats (since it takes two hands) - or I'll take their carseats out of their Snap N Go and put them on a table to feed.

If DD is sleeping I will NOT wake her up ever to eat..   she'll wake up when she's hungry...  

that being said, there was a time or two that she woke up while out and about and i just fed her in the car and changed her diaper.. it was no biggie...

DD doesn't hate the car seat, but she almost always wakes up in a store and insists on being held so she can see.  She's so nosy!!
