i used to feed wherever i wanted - in lots of cafes/restaurants/shopping centres/park benches etc. i did use parents rooms esp at the beginning and if something good was available i would go there for some peace and quiet.
at the very start i def wanted to go to parents rooms, more bc it took a lot of concentration etc to get ds latched correctly and i wasnt confident. by the end i was a pro...
i think it took about 6 weeks til i was comfy out and about.
i also like parents rooms (the nice ones) bc i can chg nappy and do a 'reset' quite easily. i found it harder to know where to chg nappies in public than bfeeding.
i had one v bad experience feeding in a service station cafe (on a trip) when i was sitting in the back section facing away from everyone and a mum with 4 kids moved her whole family.... and gave me the dirtiest look...
