I wrote the following post back in 2011 as I prepared to nurse my second baby through his second Mardi Gras. This year will be my sixth Milky Tuesday after taking 2012 'off' to be very pregnant!
Mardi Gras is a huge day in our family and our costumes are nearly ready. You can find us in the Quarter people watching, second lining and maybe even as contestants in the Bourbon Street Awards! And I'll most definitely be nursing on our bench in Jackson Square.
So, without adieu, here's my story and my tips for a great Mardi Gras with a nursling.
