XP: First NIP success!
We had our first successful NIP today....ALL day!! DH and I went shopping all day with DD. I usually take my little manual pump, go to the bathroom or changing room, and make bottles all day when we're shopping. Now that I'm back at work and a slave to my pump, I told DH that I was leaving that stinking pump at home, and I was gonna nurse our baby girl when she got hungry! He said "okay, your cover is in the bag!" Yay!! We had 5 successful nursing sessions while eating and strolling around the mall all day! I know a lot of mommies NIP from the beginning, but my family was kind of weird about it at first (except DH), so we stuck to bottles. This was a big deal for me and made the day soooo much more fun because I spent the whole day without leaving my hubby and baby girl!!

Awesome! Good for you! Isn't it liberating? I remember the first few times I went out with DH and LO, we brought along a bottle just in case I chickened out, or couldn't find a comfortable place to nurse. I never used the bottle and it felt great each time. I still feel proud of myself every time I nurse in public, and always come home, bragging to my DH, "LO ate her lunch at Nordstroms today" or "LO had a snack at the mall today". . . it's silly but a big deal for me.
