MIL called dp last night when I was out to say that she was worried that I didn't appreciate that not everyone is comfortabe with bf in public. we are going to hers for xmas and this involves her church and drinks with neighbo0urs. I am feeling really uncomfortable. She was nice about it and sounded embarrsared saying it dp says but now I don't know what to do. do I have to leave the room or just be subtle? The problem is baby is just 8 weks old and feeds alot. Its hard as she was round here alot when baby was v young (to help with toddler) and I was having problems so often bfing topless and spraying milk everywhere etc. Obviously I am not going to do that at her friends house but maybe she thinks I am and its just that she wants to avoid (fair enough). My sil gave her dd a bottle at the family table to avoid feeding in front of uncle! I was quite embarrased as I was feeding my baby at the time. I am not militant about it but do feel subtle bfing is OK! any advice? I want to keep peace

I agree with whomovedmychocolate. I used to love saying "I'm just going to feed the baby" and buggering off for half an hour! I wouldn't worry about it and do whatever you feel most comfortable with at the time.
