Strangest place to breastfeed.

[Kitt3n]

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 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!!

Today - the park at Lake Gillawarna near Georges Hall... DD was running and fell over so it was mummy milk to the rescue!

ETA: the above was a 'strange' place as DD is 26 months old and I got all sorts of looks.... oh well!

I never saw this thread!
When I was in Ireland, everywhere was weird according to most, because DS was 19mo But, in Ireland, DS decided he really needed to feed in the burial chamber of Newgrange (neolithic stone druid site), so I sat on the floor in there, looking up the light shaft to imagine the Winter Solstice and Druid priests doing their thing right where I was sitting!
All sorts of places, though, that I've fed. I was doing gas suit training with fire brigade it was assessment night. DS was about 8 weeks old. He'd been asleep for most of it, and decided to wake at the moment I had JUST finished donning all the gear in correct order (my structural gear, gas suit with the gumboots attached, my breathing apparatus and my helmet), so I then had to take it all off, in correct order (according to Fire Ground Practices or I'd fail the exercise I was being assessed on), strip out of my structural gear and get an engorged (oversupply) leaky boob out. I was so proud of myself - not just correct order, but record time, too!
My crowning glory, though, has to be the time I was out with my horse where I used to agist, and DS was riding with me at my front. He would have been about 2.5yo or less, but he had a helmet and I was riding bareback with him. It was a warm day and as we rode around the arena he decided he was thirsty. No-one else around to help with my horse, so I lifted him up, turned him around and let him feed - it was such a blissful moment, combining the two things I'd been most passionate about in my life till that point! Ever since then I've been planning a photo of the kids and me on my horse, feeding DD - but DP is one of those who suddenly becomes allergic to cameras when I ask him to take photos of me...so I'm still in planning stages! I wanted to have it for the ABA calendar, ya know, some time before I stop breastfeeding...!
