I have NIP many times with DD but I did it for the first time with my new baby. It was surprisingly weird...well not weird but I was a little self concious which I thought was weird.
I had Jake on Friday and of course the whole time in the hospital I had it all hanging out the whole time but I don't consider that my first NIP with him.
We had to take him to the ped yesterday for a weight check (because he lost more than 10 percent of birth weight...eeek! I am not worried)
Anyway when we got there DH had forgotten some paperwork and had to run home really quick, we live two minutes away so I was then alone with Jake. That might have made me nervous a bit. I usually like to nip in a new place with DH right next to me he is VERY NIP supportive.
Anyway no one was there and Jake started rooting so I picked him up and latched him on. It was the first time in my life NIP a newborn without a nursing shirt, cover up or anything. I had a bit of boobie showing...not much but it was hard to get completely covered and make sure that he was doing ok...he was only 4 days old.
Well then of course people started streaming in...I got a little nervous when a woman with a teenage boy came but thought oh well it is a ped office. I chatted a bit with a gal with a 3 day old baby. When we got called in I can't tell if I made a woman nervous (teenage boys mom) or if she just didn't know what I had.
I have lilypadz and while I was nursing I just stuck it to my knee. I had forgotten I did that and when I stood up I guess it fell on the floor. The woman said "ummm you dropped your breast ...nipple...thing" :LOL I kindly said thank you picked it up and walked to the room....all the while still nursing....yes!
