Hiking and nursing!

[rootofnewt]

The heat of summer has left us (I'm sure it will return for one last hurrah) for a while. We took to the hills today for a nice hike. Roughly a mile on the Appalachian Trail (Virginia, Humpback Mountain) to some lovely cliffs. I wore Ronan in our Ergo. He nursed once we arrived at the cliffs.

In the future, I think I'll take along some trekking poles. This trail had some steep rocky bits. I couldn't quite see my feet, but I had good shoes, so I fared well and didn't ruin the baby's head, nor my ankles.

Pic links to a gallery, so you can see the actual fun shots. But this pic shows the expression I gave Tom upon realizing that he'd *just* taken a picture of my boob. No, you don't get to see that picture. ;)

Nursing on the AT White blazes = milk, right?

Yes, but this assumes the nursing mother in question could wear such a dress. I've yet to see a nursing dress that would work for me. And while I will wear a wrap style right now in order to nurse, it's *HORRIBLY* unflattering. I wouldn't wear a formal style wrap gown, I'd feel utterly repulsive.

Nursing slits often don't work beyond a very narrow range of boob/body types.

The V clevage/wrap dress I have will work for nursing. It's not formal, but it will work for just about anything up to formal. It's got enough give to hold in the K cups...
