It was a cemetary service, in a country town, where it was bloooooddy hot hot hot. I was standing under the gazebo, near the coffin with DS (3months old today) in the pram. It was such a sad day, i was a bawling mess, as were all of my family (very close). There were about 300ish people there. Only close family were under the gazebo, the rest were standing the other side of the coffin directly infront of us iykwim.
DS was very cranky, can't blame him - and desperately wanted some booby. Being very casual about bfing, i simply sat down next to my grandma and fed him, still while crying and not letting the feed distract me from the lovely things that were being said. The coffin was lowered then ppl started to come over to give grandma cuddles and show their respect, all while i was still feeding my little man..
I didnt think anything of this at all until DH bought it up later last night. He said it was inappropiate, and I could have atleast moved the chair behind the other family so the sea of 300 ppl didnt watch. Now DH is sooo pro bfing its not funny, he helped me ovrcome my fear of feeding in public when DD was a baby - so for him to say this, has really got me thinking.
I cant stop thinking about it! I'm getting a complex about the whole thing! Did I really go too far? Should I have moved the chair? was it inappropiate??
Please tell me I'm not the only one who has done this... i feel like a fool.
