Since I only have one for the moment, a 6 month old, I do get my fair share of just nursing time. But many of our sessions I am working on my blog, checking email, etc. Otherwise, I can hold him and nurse, pick up the house, eat, watch tv, etc. I enjoy our bedtime nursing sessions and naptime ones as well. They are the most quiet and focused. Kim R.’s last blog post..A Well Meaning Husband

i work full-time during the day, so the first nursing when I get home is usually "nursing bliss" -- just me and my toddler reconnecting. multi-tasking happens during the weekends and it's usually nursing in front of the computer or while chatting with my husband or doing bills.

Before there were slings or horse shoe shaped pillows, I'd use plain pillow props to keep my smaller baby snuggled up nursing and I could have both hand free. I'd write, watch TV, eat a meal, even fold the tiny laundry.... Once I had a second, then a third I was quite good at multitasking. I could be running around after 2 yr old, babe @ breast held with one arm, prop baby with knee so I could bend over to tie shoes etc... I use these type scenarios to actually encourage moms who feel it is difficult in the beginning... That it CAN become so easy, they can go on autopilot and do many things at the same time while nursing and not think twice about it! Birth_Lactation’s last blog post..Breastfeeding Barriers

In the early days I would read a book or watch movies, now I'm guilty of surfing the net on my cell phone. I sometimes stop myself and force myself to be more present, sing or talk to my daughter... I think we both enjoy that a lot more. Missy @ The Marketing Mama’s last blog post..Who moved my cheese: Following Mrs. G

Besides all the at-home stuff everyone else mentioned… I have taken both of my children out and about with me and we have nursed in many places! We have ridden on buses, planes and subways while nursing. We have walked through airports, festivals, zoos, parks and grocery stores while nursing (in a sling). We have sat under trees, leaned against walls and laid down on the grass. We have been at the beach, in the ocean and in the pool. My favorite thing to do while nursing is SLEEP!! I love nursing, especially using the sling, because you are free to grab your baby and a diaper and GO!

With my first child, I spent my time absorbed in nursing and bonding. Now that I am about to have my second child, I know that there is so much to juggle. Hopefully I can sneak in some sweet time for the first couple of months, but as a WAHM I will probably end up on the computer. Katie’s last blog post..EllaRoo - May Baby Carrier Give Away
