Something weird happened today and I'd appreciate thoughts on whether I should take any action! (sorry it's long!!)
My dd is 5 weeks old and I am breastfeeding her. I've only just started to feel comfortable bfing while out and about. Today we were out on a walk on a route that is pretty well used by other families. It was hot as hell though and dd started crying for a feed, so I turned off into a nearby park. It was fairly quiet so thought this was a good spot to give her a feed. Anyway, this guy walked past, then stopped some distance up the path from me, squatted down, and appeared to be looking out across the park. I didnt think anything of it at first as he didnt seem to be looking at me - I thought he had lost his dog or something. Also, he was far enough away that he couldnt have seen anything especially as I had clothes draped over the boob! But after a while it started to make me uneasy as he was not shifting - but it was still just so hot that i didnt want to interrupt dd's feed before she had finished, plus there were a few other people scattered about so the place wasnt completely deserted - this was about 5pm.
Anyway, eventually he stood up and walked back towards me. He came up to me and said 'Do you live here?' (I was already standing up and gathering my things to leave in reaction) Then he said 'Aren't you scared - it's dangerous here!' SOO creepy. As fast as I could I dumped DD in her pram without even buckling her in, and bolted back to main path where there were more people around. (All this with one boob still hanging out, which luckily i had managed to keep covered with my scarf/cardi!)
I accept I should have gone with my instinct and not stuck around in the park, so in future going to seek out more crowded places and not take the risk to myself and DD of going somewhere quieter for the sake of privacy. But is there any point in reporting to police? Have others had similar experiences? To be fair this would have spooked me out anyway regardless of whether or not i was bfing at the time.
