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 top of Table mountain and Cape town and on the back of a quadbike through the vineyards on our way to dinner. ( only going slowly - it was that or walk)

On a bullet train going between Toyko and Kyoto.
While teaching a class (using a sling). It was a class of bf support volunteers so hardly shocking!
On GMTV (last Spring. Talking about bfing reducing cot death. My child has JUST got over chicken pox and had the odd pock mark so luckily it wasn't discussing bfing reducing chicken pox!)

Under a large Acacia tree at the side of a road in the middle of the African bush, surrounded by rural women who laughed their heads off at seeing a white woman bf

I fed DD today at the seafront in Clacton on a bench watching DS and DP throwing stones into the sea. It was really nice, I didn't have the confidence to do it in public with DS.

Simplysally · 02/11/2008 19:03

I fed my dd in my car, sitting in the driving seat, at a service station - realising afterwards that there was a car full of lads parked next to me! I tended to be quite shy though and it was mostly indoors or EBM in a bottle.

Ikea cafe @ 6 days old,
On a range of trains - including clearing a carriage from Brighton to Three Bridges @ 9pm at night
On the cliffs overlooking the railway line between Dawlish and Paignton
At a Levellers gig at Arundel Castle
And DS is only 4 months old, so looking forward to lots more extreme bf incidents to come

In the Sistine Chapel.

And tomorrow will be my last ever day of b/f as DD2 is 4 tomorrow and I am finally weaning her totally. and at the same time!

BananaSkin · 02/11/2008 23:39

Good luck Blessthismess - I was traumatised doing my last ever b-feed too. DH had the camera and video out . It is surprising how quickly you move on though.

Everywhere, on the bus, various cafes, friends weddings and, most recently, at my (enforced) Lone parent 'back to work' interview. I think the job advisor realised that we weren't ready for me to start work yet...

planes (UK to Austria)
trains (to London)
automobiles (loads of times and all over the place)

All through the Christmas Carol Concert to keep him quiet

Most beautiful ( but cold) - by the edge of the Grand Canyon.Pretty much everywhere and anywhere between home and there ! Restuarants, planes, churches, school plays, back of a car ( whilst both remaining strapped in), museums . Through a few Disney parades, and on some beautiful beaches. Can do - will do!

pippibluestocking · 03/11/2008 20:50

Did it in the car in a car park at a shopping centre. Embarassing thing is that I neglected to to cover myself up afterwards and only realised when I got a strange look from another driver {blush}

In an internet cafe where I was applying for a job online. Sadly my multi-tasking didn't stretch to keeping my eye on my phone which some horrid person stole and ran up a £120 bill.

Dakiara · 12/11/2008 17:13

In an old sawmill just next to where the wood was sawn, with the rushing water just outside. Was a lovely Summer's day that, weirdly enough for this year! Figure that's my most interesting place.

Weirdest place has to have been A&E cubicle - had to be admitted right at the time Wee One was due to be fed to sleep, poor mite! He was rather confused to be sure.

He's also attempted a feed in the aisles of Asda - bent down to the trolley to see what he wanted and before I knew it he was trying to help himself, displaying my wares along with the tins of baked beans!
