Where do you breastfeed?

Baby is still in our room at the moment, so I just prop myself up on pillows in bed and feed him there. I don't put a light on or watch TV at all at night.

 

During the day, I feed him in the lounge while watching TV or sitting on the computer.

 

If you go away to a seperate room to feed everytime you need to you'll get very lonely.

 

Good luck!!

I used to feed #1 in our room at night but it disturbed DH's sleep a lot, so this time with #2 I come into the lounge where I also have the change table set up. I use a dim light and find the tv too distracting for baby, espcecially now hes a bit older. Often in the day I need to take him in our bedroom to feed- i sit on the bed, as the lounge is too nosiy with his big sister playing and there are way too many distractions!

I BF where ever too. When we bought our chair we put it in Jacksons room for night feeds. He went straight into his own room so it was needed in there

I feed whereever.

At night it was generally in our bed lying down once I got the hang of it I would doze off. In the first few days DP was awake with me most of the time too which was nice. Sometimes I would feed on the spare bed next to the cot or on the couch, but generally our bed

During the day I fed where every. On the couch normally, sometimes sitting on the ground if that's where I was lol

In the early days I needed light to see to get her latched on so in the living room. Often with the TV on, it didn't worry her but it did make me quite wide awake. As she got older I'd feed her lying down (semi-snoozing) in the bed next to her cot.
It's s bit of trial and error but you'll find the right place.

Awesome, thanks guys! I guess it seems that there are a bunch of different places where I could feed bubs and I guess I won't know what works until they arrive!

One question though - would coming downstairs to the lounge during the night be a pain if I did decide to feed down there?

as you can see it depends on the person..for me I never co-sleep and never feed in bed so all those options are out..and also i need to stay awake hence the tv..:) so for me going down to the lounge wouldn't be an issue..but for others it would.. as you say it's what works for you.

I would hate to have to go downstairs to feed bubs. It's hard enough getting up several times for feeds without adding in the extra time it takes to get to the lounge. But thats just me. The less moving from room to room the better.

I have a little lamp in DD room to help in the early days and to provide a little more light for nappy changes.

I feed lying down in bed as we co-sleep I personally would find it a pain to get up and go downstairs to feed.
With DD when she went into her own room @ 7 mnths I was lent chair and fed her on that @ night. Although I am luck y and DH can sleep through anything so isn't disturbed.

If bubs is going to be in your room and the chair will fit, put it in your room .

When Isla was in our room in her bassinette (only first 3wks as she outgrew it so fast!), I would just sit up in bed and feed her but when she moved into her own room, I'd get up and go into the lounge so I didn't disturb DF. Plus, her change table isin the lounge.I never watch TV, day or night cause I'm just not a TV person. I would just sit on the couch with the light on dim. She has always gone straight back to sleep after night feeds. She now sleeps through but I always just sit on the couch in the lounge to feed her and it's comfy I personally preferred going to another room to feed her rather than feeding in bed cause I was always afraid I'd fall asleep and drop her or roll on her. At least if I have to get up and walk to another room, I am awake enough to make sure that doesn't happen iykwim
