BFing mamas poll

What do you do while BFing? DS has been snacking all afternoon so I've almost finished a book and I have to say reading a good book makes BFing so much more enjoyable and makes me feel less trapped in a chair until he is full. I SHOULD be working on grad school applications, howeverStick out tongue. Oh well, being lazy is what sundays are for right?

  • I lurk on the nest/bump and watched 3 seasons of Keeping up with the Kardashians lololol. I enjoyed my fill of trash tv bc I never get to watch it!

    haha! i would be right there w/ you if we hadn't gotten rid of our cable!

  • If I'm in bed, I'm usually on my phone reading blogs, forums, checking FB, etc.

    If I'm downstairs, I usually have the TV on. I should read more though--I have so many books on the Kindle just waiting to be read!

    Sweet! Now I have something to do tomorrow :)

  • I just sit and watch the funny faces my LO makes. In the beginning when she was getting used to BFing I would read a BFing book (not very helpful) but she finishes in about 5-10mins now then I change her and switch sides. I have learned the only way that I can wake her up to eat on the other side is by changing in between :)

  • I'm usually on the computer or playing solitaire on my phone.  LO finishes in about 10 minutes so I don't have too much time to fill.

  • Depends on the time of day. I do everything from pump to watch tv to search the internet to sit in silence and I'm sure a few other random things as well.

  • I bump, other random internet stuff, watch t.v, and at night I sleep Big Smile - love side-lying nursing...

  • trash TV all the way.  I fully employ the DVR, however with the previous post about the Kindle, i may have to have the hubby get me one.   I just can't read a real book while trying to keep the LO latched on.  She has to be reminded to eat periodically.

  • DS takes FOREVER to eat, and I watch a lot of TV while I'm breastfeeding.  Thank God for DVR.  I think I've watched every season of Criminal Minds just in the time I've been on maternity leave from recording them at night. 

    I also am usually on my iPad or phone using Facebook and of course, The Bump!  The one thing that annoys me is that I can't respond to posts from my iPad or my phone (if anyone is able to do this and I'm just missing something, please let me know!), so I just read posts and then respond later from my laptop. 

     

     
  • I'm usually on The Bump or Facebook, watch shows on Hulu or Netflix, read a book, or read books to him. At night I doze because I have started side nursing. DS eats A LOT during the day so I have lots of time to fill.

  • Usually I'm either on the phone or watching TV. I do spend a lot of time while nursing just looking at DD and rubbing her soft cheeks. Smile

    Thanks for reminding me ckandi, I need to bring my Kindle out too...I also have books on it that I haven't yet read.

  • I still need both hands to make sure DS is nursing correctly, so if I do anything but look at him/talk to him, I might be watching TV.   I've asked DH for a kindle bc it's currently not possible for me to read a book and breastfeed at the same time. (I interrupt DS, boo).

  • It depends on where I'm at... usually watch tv and/or play around on my phone, get on the internet on my laptop if I'm in the kitchen, read books to her when I'm in her room, doze off a little bit.

    This. My LO typically BFs for at least 30 minutes at a time... sometimes much longer... so that's a lot of time to fill. I should start reading while BFing... I'm in a book club and we're meeting in a couple weeks to discuss a book I haven't even started yet!
