Along with all of the useful tips mentioned I will often share this story. I had been asked to do a sling demonstration for a group of Parent Educators who where going to be giving slings to the moms that they work with. I brought along my then 5 month old baby. I was wearing "regular" clothing -- slacks and a shirt. I was demonstrating a forward hold when my son started fussing to nursing so I turned him into the cradle position while explaining how I did that and started to nurse him. I then started talking about the back carry position and said I would demonstrate it when he was done eating. One of the educators expressed surprise that I was nursing right then! She had no idea that while she was staring straight at me I had latched him on and began feeding him LOL. Now if it is possible to be discreet under those circumstance I am sure that little attention would be paid to me in the middle of the supermarket :) Jessica Mattingly M.Ed, CCE, CBE, LLLL Kansas City, MO *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(R) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
