to breastfeed my toddler when in a lesson?

Ds's nursery is shut next Monday, I have a 2 hour lesson in the afternoon and my plan is to put him down for his nap in his pushchair on the way to the class, he'll probably sleep between 1.5 and 2 hours, lots of people do this and then leave if the child/baby wakes or is upset.

If ds wakes before the end of the lesson would I be unreasonable to breastfeed him? I'd get another half an hour of silence out of him if he's feeding.

It's a class of people from all different cultures, many of the other women wear head/facial coverings, I'm not sure if this is relevant or not.

Its fine if children sometimes attend, just do it.

I love it when people say time to get them off the breast, like its that easy even if you wanted too. You can come around here and tell ds4 that if you like kilmuir.

And driving while bf? She deserved to be done for dangerous driving imo

I have never had any problems with other people's children coming along to lessons, it is a really lovely place to study, really family friendly so the actual act of taking ds into the class doesn't worry me.

The other people in the class have all lived in Sweden for 2/3+ years, the course is one of the courses leading up to university entrance rather than the courses you take when you first arrive in Sweden so I would think most of the class will have seen babies being breastfed but possibly not toddlers as that is very rare in Sweden, I guess it shouldn't really make a difference.

I am very happy with ds still breastfeeding, I am hoping to tandom feed ds and my new baby which is due in the autumn, I don't think there is any reason for us to stop at the moment.
