All things striped edition! I promise to not go in public wearing all three as sure to be mistaken for a zebra, a sailor or a prisoner.
With the addition of Caden I feel like I am often fumbling around when we are out and about. Carrying the car seat in one arm, holding Grace’s hand with the other and trying to balance my purse/diaper bag somewhere in between without dropping the keys. I am considering buying a backpack to function as both a purse and diaper bag to help free up my hands a little. I thought my backpack days were over after high school, but the functionality may be proving me wrong.
I never nursed Grace in public, she was a difficult one to nurse, I didn’t feel comfortable and hated my nursing cover. I always felt like I was half exposed and I think she could sense my discomfort, so to the bathroom, car, fitting room, anywhere I could hide we would go. It was such an inconvenience and it seemed like I would miss half of Mass. A friend recommended this nursing cover, which is basically like an over-sized shirt and I fell in love. It also functions as a car seat cover, which I used a lot before winter to keep a breeze off of Caden when we were outside for walks.
Besides the great stripes and a nice spring look, this shirt also has a long shirttail and looser fit which I am all in favor of these post-partum days while trying to lose baby leftovers.
Cassie, I was looking at diaper bag (back packs) the other day on Amazon! They have some amazing features. There are ones that even have spot for you to pull wipes out of the side pocket. I can totally see why a backpack would be beneficial (easier and better for our backs). Also, I’m not sure if you’ve tried carrying the car seat like this, but many like it better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlzBNYzCNwU
I definitely need to look for a backpack like that with 2 in diapers!
I haven’t seen it, but will give it a try. Caden is a load, but it’s too cold to not have him snuggled in his carseat!
