So recently a young mom was nursing her child in the food court of the mall, the security guard kindly questioned her to do it in the washroom(eww yucky, bateria filled, just ewww) but the mother refused so the security guard escorted her out of the mall. So i was thinking because this specific mall is undergoing renovations to make it larger and i wanted to suggest to them to make like small lounges, 3 of them with nice comfy couches and pillows to accomodate breastfeeding mothers. A mother shouldn’t have to leave a mall right and she certainly should not take her child into a restroom to eat, i wouldn’t eat in a bathroom, would you? If you are a nursing mom or intend to nurse would you feel more comfortable in a nice lounge (only for nursing moms) that had a nice couch and a rocking chair and some comfy pillows? I was thinking if i present this thought and they accept it it may make other companies wanna stay on suit, like walmart or target, so what do you reckon?
the windows in the lounge could be nicely painted so shoppers don’t have to watch and it can be decorated nicely to suit babies.
i live in canada so laws are probably different here then in the US

Would This be A Good Idea For Nursing Moms????
Moms how do you cope with having a pet in the house with the baby….?
Delight no rude answers, I’m being sincerely honest in this question. I’m feeling very resentful towards our dog. My fiance had him when we went in together, well we lived together for a year with the dog previous to our baby came along. I like animals and have always had pets, I had to place down my older dog 3 years ago…. well I never really bonded to my fiances dog and I thought I would being that since I loved my fiance I would like his dog. He was a excellent dog though. As of recently (since the birth of our son) he’s become an absolute terror. my fiance goes out of town for work quite a bit and the dog acts our really terribly when he’s gone, even when he is in town if he’s at work. He runs away pulling the leash out of my hand while walking him, chases after people, trys to bite ankles, barks when the phone rings/when the door bell rings, when he hears any noise, and that wakes the baby. He has even jumped on the couch where the baby was laying on his nursing pillow and jumped on top of the baby, sending the baby into hysterics. He wines if he gets place outside on our patio for even a few minutes, chews up the babies toys, etc etc… the list goes on. He’s really an annoyance and I despise to sound so cold but I just do not have the energy for this while I’m trying to take care of a household and more significantly my 4 month ancient son. I want to make it work with the dog, but its not working, we’ve tried obediance lessons, fiance disciplines him, etc. He seems to reckon he owns the baby, the couch, our carpet (which he’s started to pee on even after we’ve just taken him outside). I really don’t like this dog. And honestly I don’t have the emotional energy to devote to an animal that will not obey. He gets attention, plenty of food, a cozy bed to sleep in, long walks, and a excellent home, I don’t know what else to do. I don’t want to have to tell my fiance that it’s time to find a home he’s more compatible in, I don’t reckon that is honest but I also don’t reckon this situation is honest….. Thoughts delight??
Any nursing mom’s who’s baby’s don’t nap that well like to help me out with my little issue?
HI,
I want to get some thoughts on how to wean my girl from breast feeding previous to naps. She is a light napper, so whenever I even place her down (off the boppy pillow and off my breast) she wakes up within 45 mins and won’t go back to sleep unless I place her back on!
She sleeps fantastic at night. I don’t even have to nurse her previous to bed, she just falls asleep and sleeps thru most nights. I can easily comfort her back to sleep at night, but not on naps. We’ve weaned from every feeding, except nap time.
Question for nursing moms?
I nursed my last kid but I never had this issue with him.
My 6 week ancient is nursing fantastic, gaining consequence, all’s excellent there. But he is a very active nurser. What I mean is that the whole time he nurses he will wiggle, pull on my shirt, look around, make noises, punches and claws at my breast… And at night when we are laying down, he likes to kick me in my stomach so much that I have to place a small pillow between his legs and my stomach because it hurts when he kicks me cuz I had a c section. He does irrevocably stop when he drifts off to sleep.
Any tips on being paid him to cool down a small or are some babies just real active while nursing? If he was older, I would say “no kicking” or “no hitting” or whatever and place him down to teach him he doesn’t get to nurse unless he’s nice. But he’s only 6 weeks ancient. I don’t reckon he’d be with you.
Breastfeeding moms of twins… when did you begin tandem breastfeeding?
I went to a breastfeeding class and the instructor said you can’t tandem breastfeed until the infants are a few months ancient. She also said you had to place your hands UNDER the babies.
But I always heard if you get a twins nursing pillow and use rolled up blankets or towels you can use that under the babies (the rolled towel is to wedge the babies into place), keep your hands above the babies to help, and tandem feed straight away?
Nursing Moms of Twins?
Do you use a nursing pillow designed for twins (like EZ 2 Nurse) or some such? Is it all it’s cracked up to be for $40, or am I just as well off with a pile of pillows?
I had a Boppy pillow for my first daughter, and although I liked it for other reasons, it didn’t make nursing ‘hands free’ for me.
