Tick Talk Tuesdays

So, we heard a baby crying in our monitor, so I went to check on Brady. He is fast asleep. Our neighbors have a new baby as well, so I am guessing we are picking up their monitor. Awkward! I don't even want to know what they have heard from our house.

My biggest problem with NIP has very little to do with my boobs showing. My hard let down has like a three foot range, so I always need a towel or blanket under DS. He pops off and I spray all over and it makes me uncomfortable. He's flailing because he's getting pounded in the face by a firehose of breast milk and I'm trying to direct the firehose to a towel or breast pad. It's not pretty.

My letdown isn't nearly that hard, but I have more success with a towel coming from above instead of below. Maybe a burp rag underneath for what's running down his face and another on top to throw down when the hosing starts? I've been known to use DS's bib in a pinch

That's tough!

But the mental image made me lol and DH asked what was so funny. I said boobies.

I usually just leave a towel in the car and nurse in there. So much better for all of us.

The answer is always boobies.

The good news: DS slept a bit better last night. Still had a feed at 4.30 (it was 7-7.30 before) but went back to sleep. Lots of wakeups but no dramatic Jake-ups this time.

The bad news: I was apparently so sound asleep and tired that I switched off my alarm for the first time in my life and am now late to work. Why am I on here you ask? Good point. :-P

(Eta: switched it off while I was still asleep... apparently I was still asleep when I wrote that.)

Yall are making me feel better about my current C's (usually a B)!

I keep saying I need to get over myself with nip, but I still use the cover too. I have dropped it when I'm at certain people's homes, but in public-public I still use the cover. It's definitely way too hot for all that, though.

Yeah motherhood maternity don't carry my size and target nursing tanks are freaking hilarious. My xls I got while pregnant (to sleep in when we had company) hahaha yeah my boobs fall out of them at night. Bravado nursing tanks come close but I still only wear them around the house.

I thought most wore nursing tanks who did the double layer.

I may try and get a tank or two that you described and give it a whirl but I am also A-OK with my cover and nursing privately.
