A friend and her DH came round yesterday and while we were stood talking (no chair available) DD wanted feeding, so without thinking I picked her up, pulled my vest top down (I don't wear a bra at home) and latched her on. Cue friend's DH sort of hiding round the corner and looking very embarrassed. Then we were chatting and after a bit DD unlatched and it was a moment before I really thought about it and pulled my top back up, cue friend's DH looking very embarrassed again. It led to a bit of giggling from my friend (they have no DC yet, although her DH has a son from a previous relationship) and a bit of ribbing from both of us, which he took well. We have another friend who they spend time with who breastfeeds and tbh, I just assumed he would be fine with it.
Anyway, she said she spoke to him today about it and he said he would be fine if it were her feeding their baby, but not another woman as he 'isn't supposed' to see my boobs. He also said he would probably have felt better about it if my DH were here.
I feel a bit guilty now for embarrassing him, but also feel that there shouldn't be anything embarrassing about seeing someone breastfeed a baby and that the more women who breastfeed treat it as completely normal, the more likely it is to eventually be seen as a completely normal, non embarrassing thing.
What do other people do when they have guests in their own home?
