Where is the strangest place you have fed your baby?
« on: June 12, 2006, 19:15:09 pm »
Since my dd was born i have often thought about the varity of different places that i have bf my ds and my dd. Some have been lovely and i will never forget, some have been slightly more uncomfortable. Anyway i thought it might be fun to share where we have bf or bottle fed our babies. Perhaps these are not strange but now i have started this my mind has gone blank!

Wherever she is thirsty!

on a packed bus going downtown
plenty of kerbsides while at street fairs
at the top of the Space Needle in Seattle
beside the dinosaurs in a Science Museum
when Christmas shopping, I usually look for a bookstore as most have at least a few comfy seats

I'm curious about the beach at 5am...?
 
I love the convenience  :D

My father is running for congress against the incumbant so he is doing parades alot.  We usually ride in the car with my mother and my DD in a sling.  This last parade went into feeding time and when my DD was inconsolable I hoped into the back of the Cadilac and hid behind the "Elect John Jacob" sign.  I thought about nursing on the back of the truck in full sight of everyone but I thought that might not be good for some of the conservative votes.  lol.  I am sure we would have gained others!

This is a fun question, but it seems quite sad to me that we think that anywhere that we would eat (or feed our toddler) is a "strange" place to breastfeed....  :) It is great that we can change that!

Hmmm not strange but here's my list- Disney World (all of the parks), Sea World, car (too many times to count), zoo, at work, Dr's waiting room, his school, park, many restaurants, airplane, friend's houses, the gym, during church...basically I NIP at free will! Strangest-- during Shamu show at SW- I can't believe he wasn't distracted!

You are right, maybe i should not have used the word strange. I did not mean it in the sense of other people thinking its strange only that lo's do not fit into our schedule all the time so i often found myself feeding little one at odd times and sometimes in odd places! Whereever needs must really!
