Weird and wonderful places!!!

I have just had to Bf my ds while having a dental checkup! Ok not the safest but needs must, he was hungry and dentist already running late.
I don't do routine very well and quite often just pack up and go for the day as a result have fed my dcs in some wonderful places.
Just wondering what the weirdest or most wonderful place anyone else has fed?

I once fed my DD2 on a deserted beach in the middle of winter! We were walking the dog in coat and wellies and she decided she just couldn't wait.
Even though it was winter, the sun was shining and as I lay on the sand in my big coat it was almost a spiritual experience

When DD3 was born by section, my scar burst open 6 days post op and I had to go back in to be re stitched. I was lying on the table waiting for the doctor with instructions not to move and they had to pass baby up for me to feed while I was flat on my back

On a bar stool in Canary Wharf. On the Docklands Light Railway. On a bench in the middle of the Imperial War Museum. In church (many times).

I have no shame!

In the playground, pushing DS1 on a swing with one arm, BFing ds2 with the other. He was newborn and very light.

I have fed her on a ferry (and it made her very merry).

I have fed her on a farm (nestled on my weary arm)

I have fed her at the bus stop (hoicking up my long sleeved top.)

I have fed her at the court (when with sweets peace could not be bought)

I have fed her at the gynae (though not with an exposed hynae)

I have fed her in a queue (for the only women's loo)

I even fed her in Waitrose (sugar aisle, by sweet and low).

I would feed her anyway, even though they stop and stare.

(you must like your nipples bare,
you have fed her everywhere)

Fed my ds whilst my hairdresser cut my hair (he was covered by the gown so he didn't get covered in hair!)

On a plane, in the airport, on a beach (holiday theme!)

So far...

In a noodle restaurant (under a shawl)
In a pub garden (under my scarf, and tucked into coat)
On the beach (under my big warm cardie - was a cool day)
At the dinner table at home (tits out - dh loves this one!)
In the back of the car, in an underground car park

Fab Whomoved

We had a similar thread recently (will try & find it) and my 'in a tree' entry fared well....

ds was bf for 2 1/2 yrs and I never fed him anywhere interesting! He always wanted feeding when I was eating, so mainly in cafes and pubs.

Fab, been having a good think and I think the most public feed I did was when I was chief bridesmaid for a friend a year ago and fed my ds1 at top table while groom gave his speech. No one batted an eyelid, his speech was too funny for them to notice what I doing

I just came home feeding ds on the bus. He kicked the man sitting next to me...

LOL whomovedmychocolate!

In front of Father Christmas at the baby group Christmas party.

Same as you, only1 - during the best mans (DH!) speech at my brother in laws wedding last weekend - but was interrupted by DS shouting 'Mummy I need a wee' so had to take him out in front of everyone with DS still attached. I'm not sure anyone noticed.
