    its funny, my mg girls and I meet one other day a week at a local cafe, we all just flop out boobs out and start feeding theres that many of us I dont think any disapproving person would have the guts to say anything.
    same with my MG group!! haha! I dare anyone to say something to a whole bunch of women breastfeeding hehehe it's wonderful when you are doing it with a bunch of women hey? it's so comfortable!

    That reminds me, today I met a friend for coffee at a Gloria Jeans and we had the table that was at the end right near the shops walkway and where everyone walked past. My friend got her boob out and breastfeed and DD was hungry also so I fed DD also! I said to her "look at us, breastfeeding like this together in public, we're a good role model for others!!!" hehe

    I'm happy to breastfeed anywhere. Sometimes I do use the parents' rooms though, if Thomas is super distracted, or he needs a really long decent feed rather than a snack to keep him going. And with a very new baby, when sometimes it is fiddly and difficult to get them attached, I prefer the quiet and privacy too.

    I started in parent's rooms... wouldn't even feed in mothers' group. My reasons were because of the huge booooobies that made me uncomfortable. I had to have my whole boob out to feed and it was impossible.
    Eventually I became more comfortable with the idea and would take a muslin wrap to help me be a little more discreet in full public view.
    When he could hold his head better and almost sit up we managed it no worries.

    I still feel a little bit uncomfortable because my DD is not that great at staying on task. She pulls off, looks around, fusses and I feel like I am doing everything wrong but, in saying that, I will feed her where ever and whenever because I care a lot more about keeping her happy and fed than what people think although, I will use the parents room if one is nearby. I really hope it is a phase because she makes it pretty hard to be discrete! I think I need more practise...
