Haven't read any other replies, but my first thought was a toilet...
My second, more serious thought (although my first thought WAS serious!), was probably on the whale watching cruise we went on on Jazzy's 2nd birthday. Just out there in the middle of the ship. Didn't seem very strange at the time though. And my grandfathers funeral when Jazz was a week old. That didn't seem very strange either. I fed just about everywhere though, I did demand feed without much restraint!
It wasn't such a strange place to feed just a moment that kinda stuck with me. I was feeding a tiny DD whilst having lunch in a shopping centre food court with DH. It was the middle of the day & busy so we had a lady sitting really close to us, chatting away to us, then about halfway through the convo realised that I was feeding, said "oh, are you feeding?" then shrugged and continued chatting as if it was the most normal thing in the world & it was great to reassure a very new mum that it was the most normal thing in the world!
Today I fed my DD whilst wandering around the Optus store at a big shopping centre (yay, new iPhone4!). Got me a couple of strange looks from the 15 year olds working there. I suggested they should provide couches for breast feeding mothers...
ah, Target - I bf in the change rooms once, sitting on the floor, with him cradled between my pulled-up knees, and by BBs worked fine!
re the book, do you reckon the ABA would help out? or another linked cause, like breast cancer or something?
it could be used as a fund raising book ... we could all "donate" our stories, someone could do some great pics, and the ABA could use it to sell for a profit to support the ABA ... ??
^ I was totally thinking it would work if linked to the ABA - maybe a fund to further BFing education for expectant and new mums, or a charity like Bonnie Babes or something dealing with NICU babies? I don't know what's out there :/
