I have no problem breast feeding in public. I don't hide away in a changing room. For example, I BF on a bench in the middle of a shopping centre yesterday. I don't drape anything over myself to 'hide' my boob, I just discretely pull down my top or whatever. If I'm wearing two tops, then one up, one down. So, I not flaunt anything, but I'm not shy (as long as its for BF).
PIL are coming to visit next week. I feel really awkward at the thought of BF in front of FIL. (I was sat next to my own dad in the shopping centre yesterday). I don't want to BF in the same room as him at home. We're all going out for dinner one night, so I'll almost certainly need to BF at the restaurant, which I see as slightly less of a problem for a reason I can't explain, but still slightly weird with PIL there.
I don't think I ever BF DD1 in front of FIL, (definitely did in front of MIL), but we didn't see them that much.
WIBU to leave the room to BF in private? It seems very rude and hypocritical, doesn't it?

I'm a hypocrite, aren't I? (Breast feeding, ILs)
