Can I play mahjong on my Iphone while breastfeeding my baby?

He feeds a lot.

I don't know. Can you?

Most mothers, after the novelty of bonding through nursing has worn off, find something to distract themselves through some nursing sessions. Some leaf through a magazine, some watch some TV, some read a book and some seem completely focused on the baby while actually working on tomorrow's grocery list in their heads. Not to mention those mums who also have a toddler running around and can't just stop paying attention altogether to their older child 8-20 times a day.

If you have a hand free to do so, why not? I used to read books, watch TV, follow my toddler around the house, and even work on the computer while nursing my babies.

Certainly you CAN.

However, if your baby is awake, you should be looking at him (or her) and talking to him. This is part of how mothers and babies bond. Your baby needs eye contact and words, even as a newborn.

If your baby has his eyes closed and is just gently suckling for comfort as he drifts off to sleep, then it's okay to do something else, but when his eyes are open he needs you to be engaging with him.

If you want to I don't see why not. I found that the late night feeds were hard, especially because I was half asleep and wanted nothing more than to drift back off. Doing something to occupy your mind probably would help in those times.

Do what's best for you and your baby and don't worry about other people telling you it's wrong. As long as its sensible and not harming you or your baby and feels right for you then do it.

  • Will my baby kitten be ok after I dropped my iPhone on it's head? I was holding my phone and my baby kitten was sleeping next to me and the phone accidentally fell on his head. I wasn't so sure if it completely hit him but I'm pretty worried because he's just sleeping and i don't know what to do! The kitten is 3 weeks old btw!
  • What song is playing in the iphone 6 commercial Baby, Baby, Baby, I'm coming Home? The commercial is shot from above with the bird flying over the waves/surf breaking on the beach? The only lyrics heard are "Baby, Baby, Baby, I'm coming Home…"
  • Trading my baby for the new iPhone 6? My cousin just got the new iPhone 6, which makes me really jealous since I can't afford it since I spend so much money feeding the baby. However, she said she will give me her iphone if i let her adopt my baby. So how do i go through this process?
  • How to save my baby daughter's video footage, and what to store on? My husband put all the videos from my iPhone to folders on my desktop, and I want to save all the photos and videos onto backup discs. What type should I use for the video files, and what type for the photos? I want to save them separately? Also, every video is rotated so that the image is sideways. Will I need to fix this? How do I do it? I put one on Youtube and it isn't sideways anymore. Thanks! I just really don't want to lose these files.
