Breastfeeding while hiking

I realized I have not posted in a while and thought I would do a brief post on hiking and breastfeeding. 

One of the main advantages is that if the baby is not on solids yet you just bring your boob! So convenient. A disadvantage can be the weather. I remember breastfeeding Etta while snowshoeing with some friends and I felt like my nipple was going to become cryogenically frozen. Besides keeping the boob young it is very uncomfortable. 

On a softer note I never thought that I would be someone who would EVER post a picture of myself breastfeeding. However I came across this picture and in a funny way wanted to share a moment between a mother and daughter. Maybe its because I am considering weaning my daughter off the breast or maybe it is because I am pregnant and thinking about the new baby. Whatever the reason Etta and I were able to enjoy connecting with nature all during a lunchtime break. It felt very natural and very special.
