trying to figure out what i got for christmas
Ask the Firefighters. Thats what the explorer programs are there for. By asking questions not only will you learn but it will show everyone on the dept that you are serious about what you are doing. Good luck with becoming a Firefighter, your going to love it!!!
So happy you went to a lactation consultant. They can be so helpful! I also used a nipple shield for a few weeks with my daughter, and it was tough to figure it out in public! I'd suggest practicing at home, over and over, so that you'll be a pro soon enough! Try using a clothes pin to attach a receiving blanket to the clothing on your shoulder for more privacy. Also, if you have baby in your left arm, you can use that same hand to hold a receiving blanket over baby's head so that you might be able to get the shield on and baby latched. While you are getting everything done, don't worry about what people around you are thinking, just focus on what you are doing so that you don't get stressed. Really, people watch a lot less than you'd think! Goodluck!
