What’s your past time when feeding?

Once baby is latched on and you’re feeding, what do you do apart from look lovingly at them? I tend to catch up on my phone, seeing as she’s on for about 40 mins each time. (Whilst checking breathing, burping etc)

I also watch House behind her head. I’ll start reading to her soon to be fair.

Eat! lol I usually know when she’s about to get fussy so I make something quickly, get us all comfy, and turn on whatever show I’m binging once she closes her eyes. However, I’m starting to run out of shows lol. So ready for American Horror Story to get on Netflix! For late night feedings I’ll usually play games on my phone since it’s quiet. I have a weird thing with Crossword puzzles these days. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Download “just 11” !! Best game during feeding( u only need one finger to play lol)

I watch tv or I catch up on my social media notifications. Depending on which feeding I’m probably reading to him.

I’m running out of stuff on Netflix maybe I’ll get caught up in the ratchet tv rabbit hole lol!

Girl yes! Love me some ratchet TV

On my phone, seeing what I can get for free plus shipping from Shutterfly, watching YouTube videos (been obsessed with videos where people unbox subscription boxes - I WANT ONE SO BAD), checking out social media (IG, FB, Babycenter, Peanut).. The last week or so though my daughter flips out if I’m not making eye contact with her while she eats.. unless she’s asleep of course.

My son HATES if I’m not 100% focused on him when I nurse now. Needy little man. 😂

My daughter is the same. Shes so unsettled if I’m on my phone! I do get to watch tv ect but shes Really not a fan of sharing me with my phone at all x

Catching up on my group chat and the 500+ texts I missed that day. 🤯

Instagram and random YouTube videos 😊

I am so relieved to see all these responses. I have been feeling so guilty for watching Netflix and on my phone. In same boat of baby feeding for hours. Thanks lady!!!

I meant ladies!!

I agree that’s why I started the post lol. I think so long as you’re feeding LO and they’re happy, you should be too (especially when you think how long you sit in one place feeding them). To be fair most of the time it’s reading things for her benefit and online shopping for her! Plus it’s also time that you would never get to yourself if you didn’t have the little one there anyway! There are some proper mind numbing games which are helpful during those long night feeds. X

I do a color by number app on my phone lol it’s addicting!!

There is a game called slices that is quite addictive, mind numbing and you only need 1 hand. X

I sit on social media or catch up on tv shows. Sometimes I just sit and stare sadly at my phone charger across the room when my phone dies.

I usually catch up on shows my husband doesn’t like! 💁🏼‍♀️

☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻 same 😂

Online shopping! My husband hates it lol

Fb mostly, except at night my doctor told me to try to stay off during nighttime feeding since it can make falling back to sleep harder, but those midnight feedings can get lonely lol

When I nursed my son, i'd check my phone, post photos on FB, catch up on TV shows, eat my meal, do my makeup, online shopping for more baby stuff lol. I should have done more reading. Oh well.

Netflix and instagram!

Watch Netflix 😊❤️

Reading books on the Kindle app during the nighttime feedings!

Does the kindle light up? I might get one!

Lol this app! 😂 amazon, Netflix

i read rainbow fish or sing baby beluga until he falls asleep. then it's reading the news on my phone, or playing a game on my phone. I lay down and nurse on our bed so I have two hands 😄

Facebook, my online poker game, reading or binge watching my shows.

Phone, lol - online shopping, FB/IG - now this app!

I work on my online business. I plan my food for the week/ shop lists. Catch up on some reading 📖

I watch her and try to nurse where I have a view of something to watch. In our back yard is the best. I tried to be on my phone with my first & it was quite stressful for me (which led me to delete FB). Breastfeeding is my replacement for yoga at the moment!
