I got into the habit of hiding sitting in a bedroom to feed DS when we had visitiors round, except maybe my friend who was quite interested and didn't make me feel nervous. :)
I had never bf before and we had a bit of a shaky start with tongue tie and me feeling a bit wiped out after an unexpected CS.
Looking back I don't like how it really seemed it was something to hide and want to be a bit more confident. All being well I should be happily bfing DC2 in 3 and a bit months time...
Just looking for tips and positive stories about chilling out a bit infront of people you know. I was actually ok feeding out and about once I got the hang of it, I only got nervous around my parents/PIL etc. If Dh and I were out for a meal, I would just feed DS at the table, but if anyone else was there I would scuttle into a corner which seems a bit nuts as no one could see anything.
I expect my MIL will still suggest I go to another room at their house, but that's totally up to her I guess so I am not too worried about it. :)
I'd like to claim the comfy couch back a bit this time!
Thanks in advance. :)
