NIP wwyd

[andthentherewere10]

I'm normally very relaxed and open aBout NIP. Lately I haven't even bothered covering up DS is a great latcher and it is just easier.

I teach high school.

I was at a football game tonight... obviously around the parents and kids i teach. Baby needed to eat. Nursing is very, very rare in my area.

Wwyd?

Make nip a slightly less rare thing in your community. I nursed in a room full of high schoolers last night at church and no one said anything.

[bunch]

I'd cover.   

[kershnic]

I would cover but still nurse. I see nothing wrong with choosing not to (either not to cover or not to nurse), but I personally wouldn't do either of those.

[ECB]

I'd cover. High schoolers are their own special breed!

[andthentherewere10]

I nursed and used my woven wrap as a cover, btw. But i felt awkward about it. Eh. Good thing I teach biology? ?

[geek96]

Personally, I would leave and do it somewhere else. I don't NIP to begin with and would just plan ahead of time to bring a bottle or leave during halftime to nurse. I have no issues with others doing it but I am not comfortable with it.

[aspentosh]

As much as I want to normalize NIP, doing it in front of students I teach/people I work with is where I draw the line. But I'd do it there and just cover.

[undecidedowl]

I want to say I would NIP and cover, but I might get nervous and head to my car.

[andthentherewere10]

I do it in front of CWs all the time. I was in the school all the time during maternity leave. Really, it's just the students i care about. Although, I wouldn't care if they were strangers, kwim?

[timorousbeastie]

B/c of the students, I'd either use a cover or go to the car or some other out of the way area.

What should you do? Feed your baby however you would anywhere else.

What would I do? Nurse him in my car. I know...totally NOT necessary, but it would be for my comfort, not others. Soon baby will become more easily distracted and pop on and off at random times. I'd be nervous that would happen while I was talking to a parent or student.

[djc315]

I'd probably use a cover.

[shell24]

I would use a cover in that situation.

[erbear]

I'd nurse under a cover. I did it at graduation at my school multiple times.

Yeah, but do you teach those high schoolers?

I'd cover. But I don't see feeding my kid as a crusade/ missionary thing.

I'm a leader (help them memorize Bible verses, etc), so indirectly. I don't get preachy about it, but I'm not going to super inconvenience myself to feed my baby. If I left everytime he needed to eat, I wouldn't get to volunteer. I wouldn't take my baby to school and nurse during a lecture, but a football game is a casual environment.

[curbsideprophet]

I probably would have tried to nurse in an Ergo or something like that. Not really a cover but pretty covered up.

[soxin2]

It would depend on the seating for me. DS was a slow eater. Sitting on hard metal bleachers with no back support (while nursing)? Pass.

Whoever is around is around. Theoretically they're watching the game or involved in their own social pursuits. I would probably wear a hoodie with a zipper and use that cover any of my exposed-ness without covering baby (my kids fought full body against having their heads covered).

I guess I don't see a cover as a super inconvenience.

I just get so hot under a cover and to me they are just uncomfortable. I feel like I constantly have to fuss with it and it gets tangled with my hair.

I dress in a cami with a looser shirt over,  so there really isn't skin showing. I'm also not large chested, si there isn't much to show. If I had a different body type, I might feel different.

I would have probably left and nursed in the car. Maybe if I was really brave I would have nursed under a cover for the top of the stands (above everyone) i have nursed in front of coworkers but they are adults. I feel like high schoolers are not adults and it would be weird to me. I hate that that is answer because i am all about nip and normalizing it.

This is my line as well. I have NIP all over the place, but I will not do it at work or work functions. I do not think I would nurse in front of high school students I taught.
