How do I leave the house?

Newborn Troubleshooting

Hi there. We have a four week + a few days old LO.

LO and I struggled to get him to latch, but he has been doing so well these days. My supply seems to be pretty good too - I do not pump anymore because I just feed him around the clock. He feeds about every two hours.

Now that we have the hang of (some) things, I dream of taking LO out to the beach or sharing night feeding duties with my husband.

I REALLY don’t want to BF in public (or in the car). I don’t really care about other people as much as I can’t figure out how to feed him without the ten thousand pillows + boppy I use religiously. I can’t imagine bringing this stuff out with me. He won’t latch without all the support we can get from these props.

Can you help me figure this out without messing with my supply? I am happy to pump or supplement with formula. What should I do?

I worry so much about making the wrong move and tanking what we have so far..

I also don’t want to over supply. I finally am leaking less and going thru fewer bras everyday.

Drop the wisdom please ✌🏼
