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 :/
