My dd2 (12 weeks old) is impossible to take out and about as she won't breastfeed anywhere unfamiliar (i.e. interesting to look at). Cafes are particularly bad as she ends up craning her neck to look at everything, won't feed, gets massively over stimulated and has a melt down. She recently went 5 hours without feeding when we had a family day out, which was really stressful obviously. I feel like i can't go anywhere with her for longer than a couple of hours at the most. Has anyone had this experience and will it pass or does anyone have any tips? I have tried a bebe au lait cover up for the boob to see if she will feed under that but she just screams with frustration as she can't see anything any more!
