Hi. I'm Jennifer Durbin, and I've got some tips for you for breastfeeding your little
one while on an airplane.
We all know that we're super cramped on an airplane. There's not much room to move. So
how do you manage the logistics of nursing in that small space?
The first you want to do is work out the logistics ahead of time. Sitting next to a window gives
you a nice ledge to rest your arm on. If you're sitting in the aisle, your elbow will likely
get bumped by everyone who's walking by.
You also want to make sure that you can dim the lights in the area before you nurse. Get
the baby calmed down. That will make things go smoother.
Also don't forget your must-have travel gear. Bring your *** Hider with you. Just slip
your *** Hider out of the cover, throw it over your neck, and you're ready to go.
You've got the baby covered, and everyone is super comfortable. This is also a great
thing to use when you need to help the baby fall asleep.
Another great use for your *** Hider is to cover the baby when they're sleeping. Let
them rest in your arms and fall asleep under the nice cover of your *** Hider.
You may also consider getting yourself an Undercover Mama. This will make you a little
more comfortable when you're on the airplane. It will keep you covered as you're nursing
the baby.
But most importantly, keep timing in mind. It's really easy to lose track of time while
you're on a flight, especially if it's a long one, so set an alarm or bring your Itzbeen
with you so that you know when it's feeding time.
