[blparent] food shopping with a baby in arms

[Jennifer Jackson]

Tatyana, this will not be that much different than the way you shop now as
others have said. I would ad that you may wish to bring whatever you may
need to feed the baby while you shop. I have walked around in the grocery
store while nursing a baby at the same time. You may have to take a break to
change a diaper or whatever, but just be firm about this need and let your
assistant know you need a short detour. Babies cry and have needs, so please
do not feel uncomfortable about it. The need for discipline is just as
important and this may be an issue when your baby is older. It can be a
pleasant outing for you and your little one if you think of it that way.

Hi,
Dear parents, I'd like to ask you how do you manage  food shopping with an
infant baby? How do you handle all  of those  things like a stroller,  or a
baby carrier, shopping cart and a cane in  other hand? Are you getting any
assistance in a store when you are with a baby?

Now I come in a store with my backpack and an assistant is provided. She
walks with me through a store, we're kinda pushing a cart together and I
currently have no problem with my grocery shopping. I'm just trying imagine
how it's going to be with my baby in arms. Please  share your  experiences
and tips. What the best approach would be asking for an assistance with a 
baby in arms- it will be  an absolutely new situation as for me as for them.

Thank you very much to all.

Tatyana.
