For those who have breast fed in public, what was it like that first time? I guess you never know until you've done it. Was it an odd/completely natural/joyous experience?? Were you self-conscious? My first born was prone to have a fit from day one, so I was willing to do anything to keep him quiet, at any given time. I was one of those who carried around a receiving blanket, just incase to cover up. It was awkward, but ya do what you gotta do. pretty horrible, I HATED being stared at, and that was before I even had my breast out, because my child was screaming so hard it sounded like I was killing him or something, my husband was shouting at me "give him the boob!!!!" and I was so flustered, then my baby wouldn't latch on, still shrieking with my nipple in his mouth. Awful. Everybody staring. Not ever something I would choose. | |

Dayum!  That sounds like a stressful situation to be in!  Did it affect the way you did it in future?? 
By the way: Hi Charlotte! It feels like AGES! I love your signature, by the way.

 thanks!
yes  UNBELIEVABLY stressful
I would be on the verge of tears, I felt like a cow, truly. Nothing natural/joyful about it. That was only with the first one. With the next 2 I avoided going out in public with my husband, he only added to my stress! | |

I don't mind aslong as they're covered up, and not like that lady in that pic. Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U. | |

There are certain things men need to butt the HELL out of, sometimes.

I start screaming for boobs in my mouth in public, she gets embarrassed and pepper sprays me, and I go home and drink 8 cartons of milk to ease my depression. ~ I'D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR ~
