Wow, today was a day for a merit badge! Kekoa was able to nurse lying down in bed, which meant I could get some sleep this morning, while he nursed. He had kept me up for most of the night, so sleep was so nice!
We woke up and went straight to a Mom Group. I really like going to these groups and making connections with other new moms. All the moms were all going out to lunch after the group meeting. I had not gone anywhere after the groups because of the challenge of nursing, using the nipple shield. Well, Kekoa has gone 2 days now without having to use it (knock on wood), which gives me a sense of freedom.
Kekoa started to get fussy as we started to walk to lunch. I had him in the Moby wrap and one of the moms suggested I just feed him, in the Moby, while walking. Hmmmm, I had fed him at home while he was wrapped up in the Moby and thought, why not? It worked great!! Kekoa was able to get his lunch and then just go right back to sleep, and I was able to go out to lunch too! I have officially earned a merit badge! :)
It was quite hilarious to go out to lunch with at least 8 other moms and 8 other new babies! Talk about making an entrance!
