I think i might actually bf in my own living room a bit more this time...

[jaggythistle]

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. :)

I am hoping to be more successful this time round (I fed until 5 weeks last time). There were many issues, but one was my total inability to bf in public or discreetly! I seemed to only be able to latch him on if I wapped my whole boob out. Which isn't good! My dad and FIL were very nervous too, so I often went into another room.

I won'r be this time!

See when you find your own old threads and it makes you smile a bit... DS2 is now 6 years old not 6 weeks.

And he somewhat reluctantly stopped bfing while I was throwing up every night while pg with DC3.. when he was about 2.8. DC3 stopped at about 3.2. think I added 6 months each time
