extended bfers: When, if ever, did you feel uncomfortable feeding in public?

[kittywise]

Hello
Ds3 is 21 months and still very much a boob boy. He would feed all day if he could, infact he is happily talking to my boobs as I type!

I am happy to feed him as long as he wants to feed, although not as frequently as he wants

Because he is my youngest and I don't know whether I'll ever have another,( although I'd dearly like to.) I don't want to stop feeding.
I guess I still think of him as my little baby.
So for me it's perfectly fine to bf him, yet I notice, in public that I get some sideways glances now.

Obviously he is not a baby to anyone else watching. It's making me a little self conscious, only a little.

I wondered whether any other ex bfers don't feed in public, don't care what looks they get. Do you wait until you get home?

Thanks

Thanks for all your replies everyone. I am quite surprised by the number of people who are uncomfortable feeding in public.

It makes me all the more detirmined to carry on!

DS is almost 12 mo and we almost never feed in public (this has only happened over the last month, and because I stopped offering due to biting and he is easily fobbed off with a snack while we're out )

Funnily enough, I was made to feel uncomfortable at baby groups from around 9mo. Where people would previously chat to me while I was feeding I started getting ignored. But by then almost everyone I know had either stopped feeding or was planning to stop soon and didn't seem to feed in public.

I still plan to feed in public where he really wants it, and although I would like to make EBF more 'public', for the sake of my nipples, I'm making sure DS is calm and really wants his feed!

biting, ouch!
