question: beach and nursing/pumping

catskitch · June 2014

what do you do at the beach? hide out in a tent, whip it out? How do you deal with all the sand? If you're EP, what do you do?

I'm probably overthinking it, but I don't know what I am going to do

I'm kinda glad I live in a climate where we still have some time before beach days happen! If me, I'd just cover with a light blanket - then again, DD refuses all covers. :-)

he hates being covered!!

My little guy also hates being covered and gets distracted so is constantly popping on and off. I'd probably pump on the way since I'm a couple hours from a beach and bring some stored milk in an ice chest and use a sippy. There are times LO really wants to nurse and those times I can usually just use a light blanket over my hand and just hold it right in front of my boob so he's not fully covered but if he decides to pop off I can cover real quick without worrying about my top. I hope that makes sense lol

I tried my best to cover with a towel and nursed her. No one really paid any attention and it was surprisingly easy with my swim top to just whip it out when needed.

I'd just whip it out and nurse.

Nurse wherever you want. I can't imagine anyone being offended by part of a boob showing at the beach of all places. Or anyone even noticing. Pumping would probably be easiest in a car since it's less discrete and the sound draws attention

I would just nurse on the beach. I don't think showing a little exta skin at the beach would be a problem.

Maybe some random dude in a thong will grab everyone's attention.

NOBODY want's to see DH in a thong...NOBODY!

EPer - We always park in the same area which is a short walk from the beach. It's a simple walk to the car to pump if I'm there long enough to need to do so. I have the car adapter, turn on the car, blast the A/C and pump in the backseat with my nursing cover on.

I'm someone who has never been comfortable nursing in public. I admire those who do but I just can't. I feel like I could at the beach though. I hadn't really thought about this as I'm not much of a beach person but if and when we do go I think I would just do it.
