Sounds like a beautiful place to feed!!
I feed anywhere and everywhere not had chance to feed at half of these interesting places!! On a train, on a steam train, at the zoo, at aquarium, varying restaurants including 5 star ones.
Wedding reception, markets,

Anywhere. Everywhere
Sporting dressing room (all male - except me of course LOL), wedding, funeral(DD needed a feed to sleep through DH's memorial service), plane, train and automobile, musical (Wicked
), shopping, restaurant, football grandfinal
You name it, I have probably fed there. The ultimate convenience food!!

Promise that I am not a stalker Michelle but I was at your DHs memorial service at Liverpool Hospital and saw you feed DD and felt that with all that was happening you were a treasure to be keeping it all normal for your children... the kids played and were entertained and we celebrated your DH. It was a gorgeous moment and encouraged a let down from my own breasts at the time. (Yep now I sound like a stalker!!).

Weirdest place for me... whilst putting the grogercies onto the conveyor belt at the supermarket (last week), and DPs grandmothers funeral (DD was 8 mths old), whilst we were at the bank enquiring about a loan, at an expo where I was manning a stall (for ABA no less), whilst I was getting a pedicure (2 weeks ago - DD kept pulling off to talk to me about the "bath" that I was having LOL. We feed whenever and whereever... my only thing at the moment is that she is using milk as a stalling technique if we have to leave somewhere so feeding at home seems to be the weird thing at the moment

Remembered another one! At a plumbing / bathroom shop while getting a quote done for our new bathroom.

All the usual places! Car, plane, train, bus.. at the beach, in the ocean, in the pool, in the bath/shower, on display furniture, doctor's waiting room, doctor's room, cafes, restaurants, shopping mall benches, funerals (Maternal Grandma, Paternal Grandpa), in line at the bank, walking around the shops, doing housework... but my favourite is still the classic snuggled up in bed together!
Most recently at Australia Zoo, sitting on the bench in front of the tigers! Oh and the other day at the doctor, the nurse needed a urine sample from DD and offered a glass of water to help things along but she wasn't interested so I said 'no worries' and out came the sure-fire boobs. The nurse said it was neat to see a breastfeeding toddler
It is hard to remember where I have fed, it is just an everyday thing now. I think a book full of breastfeeding women in different locations would make an awesome coffee table book!

Just took the kids over to the local velodrome to have a ride on their bikes. Few other cyclists on the track, middle aged males. Footy training going on in the middle of the track and a couple of blokes doing their personal training. Miss P was screaming for a feed so I popped her on the boob. Trouble is, DS5 still needs a bit of help starting off on his bike without the training wheels. So there I am, bub on boob, one hand pushing DS along, trying to keep an eye on DD7 so she didn't cause a big stack...
I tell myself the looks I received from all those blokes was not horror, it was admiration for my multi-tasking!!

Not a stalker but it does have me fascinated ................. I actually made sure I chose a breastfeeding suitable top that day because I knew she would want to sleep at some stage, even though she was 15 months at the time and me quite pregnant. That means you heard me speak too ..........

This is a wonderfully inspiring thread, kinda tempted to write a "wish list" of places to breastfed!

The feed was discrete etc but as a BF mumma you can just tell when another mumma is BFing, and to be well into a pregnancy... aweinspiring.
I did hear you speak and your DHs colleagues. Lots of tears shed by me. I wrote in the memorial book and made a comment about BB as I know so many wanted to support you but were not able to be there in person. It was a lovely memorial, your DH was well loved by so many.

This is a great thread!
I'm collecting transport modes... we've done train, plane, tram and bus. Once Brissie ferries are all sorted, we'll take a ride to daddy's work and we'll have the full quota!
I don't really have anywhere "strange" yet... my most exposed was on a bench on Stanley St (four lane busy inner city road) She was a week old an we were on our way home from the markets.

I think the memorial book is still with work. They were all finding it too hard to write anything and wanted to keep it for a bit longer. But thank youDD is actually still feeding. 7 months tandem feeding and still going strong. Who'd have thunk it

i have done that - the Laa and I mastered the art of feeding while she was upright in a mei tai - I have walked through shops and paid for things while she was feeding away. No one had any idea!!great thread! dont think i have BF in any out there places. one that i remember was at the surf club on the deck watching whales go past, that was nice.
i saw a lady in the line at woolies clearly having a bad day, three other young kids running about yelling, she looked pretty flustered, and her baby started crying, for a second i felt bad for her....then she just grabbed her baby and got her boob out in the line while still putting her shopping on the till and fed him one handed. I was 9 months pregnant with DD at the time and i thought she was super woman!!! i thought the check out boys eyes were going to pop right out of his head!

I love re-reading this thread ...

OOO I've bfed at wet and wild tooo
I did it sitting near that pirate waterpark under one of the shaded areas
Strangest place for me, would probably be at my gdads funeral. Was a graveside service, I was sitting under the tent, directly facing roughly 300 people.
I bawled my eyes out, all with my boob out and my little man nuzzling away! hehehe!

Great thread! I can't think of anywhere that spectacular for me though

At my mum's funeral, Charlotte was 13 months old.

library, wedding, and on a big fountain (on the wall bit, not the wet bit)
BUT weirdest place not being able to breastfeed - in a maternity clinic!!! I was there for an appointment, and they don't have a breastfeeding area. The beds were all taken so I couldn't go use one of the chairs by the beds, the waiting area was cram packed and noisy with kids running around, and much too distracting for a little one, and the big comfy chairs which I've nabbed a couple of times in the foetal monitoring unit (when others aren't in there, of course!) also were unavailable, because they're moving the unit ...
So my options were to sit in the tea room, or go back to my car, or do my best in the mosh pit - uh, I mean waiting room ...
