When you nurse, do you do other things while your baby eats?

I am a proud mom of a second baby boy. I didn't nurse my first son, but I thought I would give it a try with Ari. Well, I'm loving it so far. The hardest thing about it is trying to get used to doing it in public. I'm not as shy as I used to be about it since I have to get things done throughout the day. It's important for me to be able to multitask while nursing. I have a carrier which allows me to feed Ari and have my hands free. I am also on the computer a lot, but I'm usually typing with just one hand. Of course there are times when I nurse him and give him all my attention. Do any of you out there do the same thing? If you do, what other tasks do you do?

Yep. Im on the computer, watching t.v., talkin on the phone, I can even get up and get me something to drink while still nursing!!!.. Boy we mothers sure do learn how to multi task to the extreme huh!

I nursed both my kids and that was one of the things I hated about nursing...I couldn't do anything constructive. Both of them didn't like being in a carrier while nursing (infact, the younger one didn't like the carrier at all!).
I would watch T.V. or talk softly to them while they nursed. I remember nursing my older son while I was at the computer and he wasfine (but I did that only when I really had to). My son is very fussy about positions and will have no other way and it was difficult to multi-task while he was nursing. Even trying to read something would get a howl from him!

I tried to do other things - such as reading, working on the computer, etc. but the babies didn't really like me to do other things and would fuss.
