We went to Wet n Wild yesterday and Ds2 had a lovely feed while we floated around the calypso bay part with my feet dangling in the water. So relaxing.....but I had a few cross looks thrown my way which was really quite comicial since I think I was more coverec up than some of the other girls :P
thats awesome!!!
that sounds like a beautiful place to feed!
I have breast fed everywhere - even whilst having my eyebrows waxed!! (that has happened twice actually LOL)
I breastfed Harmony in the warm spas they have in the winter, its under the wirlpool thingy?... and pumped for Kane while watching the kids in the kids pirate playground!!!
Good on ya, sounds gorgeous!!!! xoxoxo
PB oooh the warm spas is a good idea :)
Kitten at least it would have taken your mind off the waxing :P
I pretty well feed anywhere but this was a first :)
I fed DS under a hairdresser's cape while I had a haircut :)
I breastfed on uni campus wearing my graduation gown.
I breastfed during Question Time at Parliament House. And tandem feed my nearly 4 year old and 16 mths old in the Government House dining room. We were on excursions with our homeschooling group. :)
These are great ladies! Thanks for sharing :)
What a beautiful, relaxing time that would have been. Pure bliss.
In a committee meeting with a roomful of male lawyers (average age of 55) :)
At my chiro getting my neck adjusted! Lol...
What an AWESOME thread! :clap:
Love these stories girls, good on you!
thats awesome i havent bfed in strange places bunnings is probably the strangest
Sounds most relaxing Boomba, if I was there I would've stared out of admiration :) GO GRRRLL!!!
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,
1 person I saw feeding and take my hat off to is lady feeding in butterfly house at zoo in summer!!!! I could not do that without passing out LOL love it in there but couldnt stay that long in there!
Me too!! And I was getting my eyelashes tinted aswell so couldn't open my eyes! My beautician had to attach my DS to my boob for me! Haha:
Great thread Boomba! Sounds like a lovely place for a feed.
I haven't fed anywhere exciting, but I remember long before we were even married DH and I were up the coast on a dolphin cruise and there was a chick sitting in the net off the side of the boat in the water feeding...DH was mortified lol. Now....I think he'd even go and say "good on you".
i saw a lady with the hugest boobies feeding her teeny bub in the kmart line yesterday, she was just standing there without a care and i couldnt help smiling, soooo cute!
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 :D You name it, I have probably fed there. The ultimate convenience food!!
Same here.:
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! :)
Except for the number of children, that woman could have been me :rofl:
Great thread. I have often thought about this!!!
Mine would be: walking along Cape Tribulation beach up north of Cairns (sad face... Thinking of you north Queenslanders...) and just yesterday in the play pool at our local leisure centre.
Weirdest place to express: in the "head" (toilet!) of a dive boat, on the way back from a dive charter out the the Great Barrier Reef (another sad face)! I was in there long enough that one of the staff got worried that I was sick! :lol:
Haven't read any other replies, but my first thought was a toilet... :lol: :p
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!
Well done boomba!! We were there few weeks ago, it's so fun and DD loved it in those tubes floating!
When I was BF I would feed anywhere!
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... :rofl:
I have fed DS2 whilst riding on a minature train.
OOO I've bfed at wet and wild tooo :D
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.
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.
I breastfed Jack on the floor of a cave while we were walking through it on holiday in Margaret River. Some people wandered past, but most never noticed me. I was hoping he would wait until we were outside, although it wasn't as uncomfortable as you might imagine!
The next day, I breastfed him at a high-brow winery over lunch, while the waiter was taking my order for dessert. What a fantastic & professional guy he was - he never batted an eye as he ran through the desserts list for us.
Just randomly, Margaret river has got:
To be one of my favorite places in australia!! Lol...
Hmmmm nothing to strange although the place i get the most looks from is feeding DS on a bench seat at the front of a kmart store (inside)
:) 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 ..........:
