Multitasking

  I wear DS in a woven wrap and BF him everywhere, while doing everything, haha. Just today I've breastfed him while pushing DD on the swing, while pushing the shopping cart in the grocery store, and while baking cookies with DD. I feel like I'm never not multitasking!

  I opened a can of black beans one handed (with a manual can opener) while keeping LO asleep in my other arm...felt like a champ!

  I made a salad and then later brushed my teeth while bf-ing last week. She's cluster feeding like crazy and I need to accomplish something (like eat lunch!).

  Super impressed, @joyfullyfound‌! What kind of wrap do you have? Do you have LO in a cradle hold? Tell me more please; I want to try!

  Me, too! My little guy fusses after only a few minutes in the K'Tan, so I get very little done .

  Impressive! Recently I've had to BF DS in his infintino carrier while walking the dog.

  Hey! I have a couple different wraps - a Didymos and a Storchenwiege, both in size 5. To breastfeed I wear him in forward wrap cross carry... here's a video of it:

  And then I just loosen it and bounce him down to breast height, nurse, and then re-tighten it to the correct height when he's done It's really discreet, too, if I want it to be, because I can pull one of the passes over his head to cover him - no one even knows he's nursing

  I chopped, washed and put an entire head of broccoli on the stove while breastfeeding once. I've wiped poopy butts too... many times. Last night I refilled my water bottle, got a snack and found my phone while she breastfed on the boppy (that I was carrying around)

  We were at the library the other day and DS was playing while I nursed LO. He was getting possessive of some of the toys and had already been to time out for hitting. He got upset a girl wouldn't give him a toy she was playing with and started hitting her. I jumped up, grabbed him under one arm, and strapped a screaming toddler into the stroller without having to unlatch LO.

  I took little man hiking today & managed to take a pee in the woods while wearing him in his carrier. I didn't pee on myself or on him..does this count?

  Lyfe! I can hold two babies and put them to sleep! I can kind of clean up and eat.

  I have been know to go the bathroom while DD is nursing on My Brest Friend pillow (thorough hand washing still happens by propping the pillow on the sink, don't worry)!
  
  TMI, but to avoid a DD scream-Fest, I had to clean up cat vomit yesterday while nursing DD since my other cat was eyeing it as a second breakfast. Borf. [-( More hand washing commenced.
  
  I also pour lots of wine for myself when momma needs a glass during cluster feeds. DD has a cold and is going through the 3rd leap = yikes.
