I nursed my lo in the car this morning. . .

. . .and it felt so strange! Lol

I've never had an issue with nip, and usually will just find a place to sit wherever I am. But today at the grocery store I had baby AND my 3 yr old with (something I try to avoid) - we were almost done, Meghan was signing "milk", and the chairs in the furniture department looked SO cozy. . . But my 3yr had ants in his pants and there was no way he was going to let me sit there and nurse quietly. . . So we checked out, I got ds strapped into his carseat, and proceeded to sit in the front seat nursing Meghan. I got a couple of funny looks from people passing by, and I just wanted to shout "I want to be inside doing this, but it's all my son's fault!" Lol

Anyone else ever been thwarted by their squirrelly kids? :D

No but my daughter is 6. I did nurse in the car this morning because we went to lunch with hubby, his dad and their crew from the machine shop (2 guys) and I just felt weird at the thought of sitting with a bunch of guys and nursing.

It is a vacation! Lol I have a yr old too, and while I have no trouble taking all 3 places for THEM, when it comes to running errands, I try so hard to make sure I only have 1 with me. . . Now I remember why :)

 ALL. THE. TIME.

The main reason I rarely NIP'd was my kids.  I have 4 total, and when my youngest was born, they were 5, 4, and 2.  Oh, and the oldest has poor impulse control.  Each of the older ones are 18mo apart. I got away with it with my 2nd (1st I was too shy to NIP), since I could trap #1 in the stroller, but once we got to #3....the logistics were daunting. 

BUUUUTTT....my favorite NIP memory is Christmas 2008 at the mall, after Santa pics and Christmas pics.  Sitting on the floor next to Auntie Anne's pretzels with the three older ones and the LO on the boob.  It was truly a Christmas miracle that the three older ones sat there while lil bro had a snack.  Perhaps it was the prezels that dad was buying them that kept them still ;)

 I have to nurse in the car alot! Most of the time one or both boys are acting up so I strap them in their seats and turn on a dvd. Then I get to nurse in peace! LOL

Oh, sure. I've nursed my son probably three or four times in the car, with my daughter chatting happily beside me or behind me. lol It's not an issue now, because he's three months old. I just push the seat back and he goes to town. :)

I nursed my son in the car all the time.  He's my only one for now so it was easy to take him places especially while we were EBF.  I would nurse him whenever and whereever he wanted.  I actually nursed him sitting on a curb at a 4th of July parade.

My oldest was 6 1/2 when his brother was born, so he was old enough to understand that I needed to take care of his brother.  It was really easy to nurse while running errands once I got my mei tai and could just nurse and keep going.
