When DH dropped me off at the airport last week to go visit family in VA, he took Evan to the bathroom to change his butt. He comes back with this weird look on his face and holding out the changing pad. "There's some weird white crap all over the mat" he says to me. I look...it's powdered formula....

He had NO CLUE what it was!!!! I'm kind of proud that my darling hubby had no clue what that stuff was!!!

On a side note--I breastfed in a wrap for all 4 flights, even though I got some strange looks from the other passengers, while sitting next to a 20-something young woman, a 50-something gentleman (who let me change the baby's butt on the seat between us!), 2 tween girls and a 13 year old boy! I even got around the flight attendants telling me I couldn't have the baby in our wrap for takeoff/landing.

If i was told I couldn't have baby in a wrap for takeoff and landing, I'd take him out of the wrap! Because hey, gotta bf during those parts of the flight, right? All the easier to get bf out in the open, and one of the few times you'll ever be asked *not* to cover up!

I didn't nurse him in the wrap. He sucks down a full boob in 5 or so minutes and is done, so we started nursung when they started pressurizing the cabin, finished, he got his binky and went back in the wrap.

Oh my -- I really really hope it *was* powdered formula. I can imagine that much less savory white powders find their way into airport bathrooms on a regular basis. Icky on leaving the mess for someone else. (Not your DH, the person who made the mess.)

that is funny!.. i love that my dp has no idea what formula looks like tastes like or is basically too.. in fact when he sees a tiny baby with a bottle now.. i can see his little frown!

glad you had good BF freindly flights!
