OT - Nursing Wife at Games

[sandwolf.sixpack]

Ok so my wife has arranged for her sister to keep the new baby and we are all set to go to the LSU game. But my wife is still nursing and we are not going to be able to walk back to the car throughout the day for her to pump, so I was hoping to get some input from anyone else who may have dealt with this. How have you and your wife approached this? Is there a good place on campus that she could go? Any input would be appreciated.

Option 1 - Pump prior to the game. I don't recall the exact timeline, but I'm 99% certain that that stuff is good for at least 30 days if stored in the freezer. So basically, pump at some point a week or two before the game, freeze it, and then have her sister thaw it on gameday

Option 2 - I know people all have their own opinions about this, but one or two bottle of formula won't hurt they baby in any way. Only concern here would be if baby might not eat the formula due to not being used to it

FYI - we typically use option 1, and things have always worked out just fine

We went through this about 4 years ago. My wife used to work on campus and what I gathered is there are lactation rooms in just about every big building on campus. Question is whether you can get in them or not on gameday. I would check with the bookstore first. Then maybe the Union. I would think both of them have what she's looking as long as they are open. I know for a fact the vet school has one.

Good info. Many thanks.

I will definitely keep that in mind in the event that we go to OT.

Nurse at your seat in the stands. If anyone gives you hell about it, tell them to watch the game and (put on sunglasses) deal with it.

Great opportunity here

Instead of sneaking in ole mainstay (bourbon), sneak in vodka and kahlua. Fresh White Russians.

I'd contact the athletic office and see what they say. She can certainly pump at her seat but I don't know if they will allow you to bring anything in to keep the milk cold.

Now we're thinking outside the box. I like where your head's at.

She will be drinking all day, so the milk is just going to be disposed of.

Problem is that LSU is the reason every building is on lockdown on game day. My option would be to leave wife at home.

Dairy Science Building is the designated area for game day/night milking

Ziiiiiiiiiiiing

In my day, it was Eckie's Pond

She is welcome to sit next to me at the game and pump away. No problem......anything to help out!
Seriously just get a little cover up if she is shy and go for it.......what are your seat numbers again?

 

[Wicked Pissah]

Let her nurse in her seat at game. Who cares? I swear I dont see how folks find that offensive.

I will ask you to throw up a pineapple flag from your seat. That is the christian thing to do.

If we score a TD, milk shower for the rows down below

DAA might get drenched though.

I asked my wife about this tonight. She was nursing during football season last year. She says before and after the game there is a place on the 2nd floor of the union that is set up just for pumping and feeding. She just needs to tell the person sitting at the front desk that she needs to go to the nursing room. As far as the game, my wife said she never pumped at the game but was able to bring it in every game and could have pumped. She even said she was told there was a place to pump/nurse somewhere in the stadium.

I could think of worse things to be showered with.

Under Title 9 shouldn't there also be a room set up for men's pumping. Maybe a rub and tug room in the Union.
