Need thoughts regarding this
It’s our anniversary tomorrow and DH booked a table for high tea in a upscale restaurant. DC is 3 month old and exclusively breastfed and feeds every 2 to 3 hours. We don’t have anyone to look after her and the fact that she refuses to take bottle makes it difficult for us to leave her with anyone. I have generally breastfed her in places like malls and service stations ( I use breastfeeding cover ). However I don’t know if it’s ok to breastfed her in a upscale restaurant?! The last thing I want on our anniversary is looks and nasty comments. I will breastfeed her before leaving, but travelling and everything will take around 4 hours I suppose. So I will have to feed her in between.If it’s relevant we are going out to restaurant after 3 months☹️

You’ll be fine. Do it as discreetly as you can. Have a lovely time.

I fed in a few different foodie places - not exactly high brow granted but I never got any dirty looks or comments.

I did the 2 top method so no one ever really noticed.

Does the restaurant allow children? If so you’ll be fine. Don’t use a cover (unless you want to) as they actually draw more attention! Most people don’t even notice a baby being breastfed. I’ve had people approach me and stroke my baby’s head before realising they are latched on Grin
