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 steps in front of an office block. DD wanted to be fed immediately and it was the only place to sit comfortably.

Middle of Bridgewater hall waiting for my sister's graduation then during the graduation - even stood up for the processions coming in

During a business meeting this week with a 50-something man - he was totally unfazed by it!! - which was lovely!

Walking across the sand dunes at Shell Island on DS's first camping trip aged 8 weeks.

Paddling in the North Sea.

At my grandmother's funeral.

I have dangled my boob into the back seat of a car into my dd's car seat in a traffic jam, not my finest hour and I think the lorry driver is still having counselling after seeing it

eilidhfi · 01/11/2008 09:40

The most interesting I can think of is in a pub watching the football.

Am going to find somewhere very interesting to feed her today...

Flightattendant4 · 01/11/2008 09:43

My dentist would faint if I did it during treatment, so i have not so far. I feel sorry for the guy

However I did feed ds2 while sawing a kitchen unit in half with a handsaw. It was a bit wobbly, but he was only about 3 weeks old so could be rested on my knee while I crouched on the floor.

Not recommended really. For all sorts of reasons. Husband would have been useful.

happy2bme · 01/11/2008 10:15

Fed ds at the cinema last night watching James Bond - the idea being he would fall asleep - but not a bit of it - i think he's now a fan!

am also feeding him while writing this!

waitingtobloom · 01/11/2008 12:32

On the steps of a church when DS screamed through my friends wedding - with the traffic going by beeping at me.

DD - in the front of a RAC van when the driver asked me if I had any food pointing at my bag and I said yes pointing at my boobs...

RedOnHerBeheadedHead · 01/11/2008 12:37

I am feeding right now too!

RedOnHerBeheadedHead · 01/11/2008 12:39

Oh, and under the gown at the hairdressers - she said she had never cut hair while a baby fed!

RedOnHerBeheadedHead · 01/11/2008 12:40

in a tent
basically, wherever i am i will feed!
its a case of:
have boobs, will feed!

milkybarsrus · 01/11/2008 14:40

whilst having a pub lunch one sunday! why not? everyone else was eating so why not let little one have a feed too

janx · 01/11/2008 14:53

In the ball pool of soft play area
In a phonebox - caught out in the middle of nowhere in the rain!
Having my hair cut

3littlefrogs · 01/11/2008 15:05

On a bench near the local library - only to realise that I was sitting directly under a sign promoting breast feeding. People must have thought I was part of the promotion.

filthymindedSixSixSixen · 01/11/2008 15:12

I once mamanged a feed on a train with ds just under the lip of the table while conducting a convo with a very stiff upper lipped businessman. As I was winding ds the businessman said ''oh, do you need to feed him? I'll go to the buffet car?'' I was so proud to say ''I just did feed him''

filthymindedSixSixSixen · 01/11/2008 15:13

I used to whip my baps out any old place. Other people's goosebumps are bigger than my boobs, so was never a big deal

BBBee · 01/11/2008 15:15

filth

HellboundNinkynork · 01/11/2008 15:29

West Midlands Safari park on the mini-bus next to some lions.

The next day DS was fed on a steam train at the Severn Valley Railway to disapproving stares from Hyacinth Bouquet types

LadyOfRoffle · 01/11/2008 15:31

Just been feeding DS with the buiders here, the poor blokes don't know which way to look! Made me think of this thread
