Where are the strangest/funniest/most interesting/unusual places you have breastfed?

[Catzenobia]

Thought it would be interesting to see all the different places people have breastfed. I was pretty shy to start with but since then was at a street festival and I just sat down on the pavement and latched DD on...

on the bed whilst my pregnant cat's water broke all over dd. She then proceded to give birth next to dd and I.

In the car going through the lion's enclosure at Longleat.

And in too many shops, restaurants and forms of public transport than I care to remember!

Not deliberately, but in front of a busful of hungry soldiers hitting the Naafi cafe, just back from excercise. We were akready there having a drink and a pitstop for DS.
Unfortunately, he was in that phase where they like to pull off part way through and check nothing more exciting is happening behind them............ Cue lots of young blokes whistling and looking at the ceiling

I attempted it in a church at a christening. DS had decided to go on nursing strike though and kept screaming and throwing his head back so the vicar got an eyeful!

We left in disgrace.....

when dd3 (5th child very portable) was 8 days old she visited her first car boot sale.

chaps garden furniture that he was selling came in really handy. did the job.

We feed anywhere. Most notably:

• at a conference dinner (managed to get him latched on in the kari-me so I could eat with both hands!)
• while making a comment about DH's talk at an expo in Olympia
• While interviewing potential employees (in a pub)

Feeding on the tube last weekend made me most nervous as I've heard stories of people being had a go at, and at 9mo, DS is hardly the smallest thing (we're starting to get surprised looks even at baby groups already)

Rheumatology clinic in front of hordes of OAPs...some smiling, some not so smiling...

On Air France from EDI to CDG, CDG to YUL...and back...In line at customs in Montreal...Breastfed in 4 countries on two continents in a 12 hour span!

In the car park everywhere...

Various park benches/coffee shops/retaurants/soft plays...

in a toilet cubicle at a pub (was a funeral do)....never again! Smallest cubicle in wales no doubt, Any more baby weight and we could have been stuck in there for a while....
running through a supermarket chasing our 4y old who needed the loo - thank heavens for wrap slings - think it was milk shake on the menu for ds!

most memorable was when DH finally woke up after 5 days on ITU and he recognised me straight away, DD was breastfeeding wiothin minutes after he woken up.

On a tractor ride at Wimpole Home Farm.

Coventry Cathedral, family seats at the front, during my husband's ordination (when they make you a priest) - got some positive comments from some older priest wives.

I am on the management committee of our local community centre, ds feeds his way through the evening meetings generally

most motorway service stations between here and Holland

wonder how they will respond to him in Holland this time, the norm there is to breastfeed for about six weeks if at all and ds is now (a smallish) nine month old , well someone hasto teach them

oh and a few weeks ago when i decided that as ds is not giving up night feeds I needed a chair for the nursery, found a nice one at IKea, say to dh 'this one will work' and ds promptly lunges for my breasts', few bystanders thought it was very funny. bought the chair

Platform 10, Birmingham New Street station

wow - during root canal!

On the very busy bus from regents park back home on a very hot summers day.
Also at my grandads funeral.

While chopping veggies. DS was about 2.5 at the time and was standing on the stepladder next to me so he could reach.

I think I was going out or something and couldn't take time out to sit with him while he had milk, so told him that if he wanted milk, he would have to get the steps!!

On the Gorner Glacier on the Monta Rosa in the Alps.

oh mawbroon, pmsl do you have a picture of that?

on clacton pier, on steps of science muesum and

Just tonight, we took dc on a spooky guided walk around Exeter, had ds (who is no tiddler) in his Close sling and managed our first real 'on the go' feed in it Am really pleaed with how easy it was, and the fact that noone knew he was even feeding.

In the Warden's Lodgings of Keble College Oxford and also in Hall there during lunch in term time. In church loads of times - it was the easiest way of keeping DS1 quiet through the intercessions!

oh my long-lost great aunt arranged for us to meet her for lunch at an exclusive Ladies Club in London.(average members' age 97 )
She told them with great pride i was breastfeeding my son and would there be a problem in the club?
When I got there the staff were waiting to greet us and they ushered me with huge pride and ceremony to an area of the claokroom they had provided''especially for me''. There was chaise longue, a caraffe of iced mineral water and glass, and csome chocolate
When I went to feed ds, they literally gathered round to watch, so pleased were they with their efforts....
I had to ''hem hem'' several times before they left me in peace.

on plane sitting next to strange man. Not easy as he (the nursling not the man) is nearly 3 and very long

in dentist's chair (dentist was complaining about screaming toddler)

In a glow worm cave on a boat probably stands out the most. We travelled by train from London to Istanbul when ds was three months old and I breastfed ds in 14 countries along the way with no comments other than can I get you a glass of water or would you like a chair if I was sitting on the floor of a museum or gallery. DH got all the funny looks for having a baby strapped to his front. I breastfeed anywhere but its getting harder now ds is one and is so nosy.
