Nursing In the Car

I used to find it odd and maybe even a bit suspicious if I saw a car park off by itself in the back of a parking lot all by itself with people in it. It just always seemed a bit odd.

  We are now that suspicious car. If we are out and about for the day at least once or twice you could find us at that far away parking spot under any shade tree we could find - sitting in our car. We probably look even more suspicious as my husband gets Norah out of the back from her car seat and brings her to the front.
   I always prefer nursing Norah in the car over in a store though. I'm fine if other's sit down in a store and nurse and I have done it several times before (though I am someone that uses a cover) but if I have the option I'd just rather nurse somewhere quieter and less public (one could argue I suppose that in a parking lot is pretty public). I don't have to deal with her pulling at the cover making me worried that she's going to cause me to flash all of Macy's and she doesn't take 30 minutes to nurse because she's distracted by every.single.person that comes within 50 feet of her. It just really works for us.

So if you happen to see me get out of the front seat of our car from the back of the parking lot and I'm holding Norah, know that we weren't driving like that :)

  1. I'm often that suspicious car, especially in empty-ish parking lots, but it's usually because I'm way early for something or between stuff and don't have time to go home so I will chill out and read there! (Your excuse is much more legit and less creepy!)
