Nursing Your Baby in Public
By Go-To Mom Christina Liu, Heathrow, FL
I admit it. Before I had a baby, I was totally and utterly clueless about breastfeeding. Specifically, I had no idea whether it would be possible for women to breastfeed discreetly without exposing themselves. I had few opportunities to observe breastfeeding in action, but one instance really made an impression on me.
Below are basic safety tips that new parents should be aware of:
Crib or play gyms should be used only until the child is old enough to pull up and push up on hands and knees. Remove the gym when the baby is sleeping. (You may wish to use this only on the floor, with baby lying on a soft blanket.)
Don’t put baby to bed with a bottle. Babies can choke or develop ear infections, tooth decay and other dental problems from having anything but water in their mouths overnight.
Nearly every woman loves to shop, and shopping for clothes can be the perfect way to spend a day for many. But during pregnancy, as one’s waist, breasts and belly expand - the choices for fashionable attire contract.
The key factor in buying the right maternity clothes is to find the perfect balance between comfort and style. Even before the woman starts to actually show, her favorite pair of jeans may start feeling tight and she may be in the market for some new maternity clothes.

By Leah Hennen When I was expecting my first child, threats to my baby’s health seemed to lurk everywhere. I knew, of course, that alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs of any kind were off-limits. But what about those lattes I’d chugged before I knew I was pregnant? Did I need to get rid of my beloved cats? What sort of environmental hazards was I unwittingly exposing my fetus to? Nine months of caffeine withdrawal, cat avoidance, and breath-holding-around-noxious-odors later, my strapping baby boy arrived. |
