Who wants to join?
I have just (yesterday) got back from two weeks in Mallorca and while I was there I ended up feeding Barney in some really odd places. It got me thinking, what is the most bizare place you have given your lo a bf?
My three best were
On a tourist tram in Soller
Sat on the floor in front of one of the big tanks at Palma aquarium
And my best, whilst standing in the queue to have our bags x-rayed at Palma airport!

also had first experience of people being rude about bfing was in cafe and two old ladies started whispering and then started to declare in was indecent.... so gave Ella an extra long feed! huh!
I aspire to be able to feed in a queue!
I haven't fed her anywhere that unusual yet...only resturants, cafes, and once while walking around in Debenhams on a shopping trip and no one battered an eye lid.
I haven't received any looks or comments as yet touch wood. It might be the area? I'm in Stoke-on-Trent...people tend to be friendlier up north
if i have another baby i know i'll be much more confident and will strive to feed wherever.
and whilst waiting for car to have tyres fitted in the service office, i did get a few stares and my oh said 'yep thats right my lo is hungry, and she needs her magic milk ok' he's really happy our daughter is breastfed bless him lol xx
Tracey n Caitlin
doctors waiting room
car park outside tescos while dh did the shopping - we only wanted a few bits and I knew if lo woke up shes cry for food I stayed in car and when she woke up I just fed her
sainsburys car park (crying at end of shopping so left dh to pay while I sat in the car and fed
oh, another car park - shopping centre car park - we were early and shops hadn't opened so fed lo while waiting
and again in the car in the car park of stables where my mum keeps her horse.
I think I must have a thing about feeding in the car lol - find it more comfortable and clean than some feeding rooms i've been into!
we went to a wedding reception last sat evening - I was working out where I could feed - not the car as it was cold outside - and was shown to a room not being used - very kind of them
i've fed Ollie in a cafe, in a+e (waiting for hubbys bitten through finger to be dealt with) erm, at the gps, in the car in numerous places, and actually fed at the top of a small mountain at beacon tarn.
Feeding isnt so adventurous - i've expressed in more unusual places than fed (blame going on honeymoon without baby) - at the top of vesuvious.... in the airport loos, in a restaurant toilet, just outside of pompeii, in a public loo on the isle of capri.....
on a ferry....
xxxx
I don't think I really qualify to join yet, haven't really been anywhere adventurous since lo was born. I'll definitely try to follow S.Y.'s example and feed at the top of a mountain somwhere, I love walking!
So far i've only managed a couple of parks, a pub beer garden and a restaurant. I haven't had any negative comments yet, touch wood.
Tracey- that sounds so uncomfortable leaning over the car seat- lol!
I have fed in the car, on a park bench, on a bus (not good when going over a ramp
If I think of any more random ones I'll get back to you all.
I will never forget the first time I met up with3 of my antenatal class friends once we had all given birth (all due the same day but 2 months between oldest and youngest babies!) at one of their houses and we all sat around in the front room and bf together - it was a real visualisation of how much all our lives had changed!
I've BF in the car, Mothercare stinky room (in Crewe), airports, doctors waiting rooms, cafes, friends houses, wedding reception (where a drunk relative wrenched him off me as she didn't realise he was feeding & she wanted a cuddle!
xxx
Oh and i will aspire to a q, but it may take some practise!!
We've done the usual I guess,
Pub
Restaurant
Cafe
Beach
Mountain
Plane - on the way to Toulouse and Portugal (and the way back!!) joked about getting me a t-shirt printed "I GET THEM OUT AT 30,000 FEET" hahaha!!!
But the best for me has to be Old Trafford, crowd of over 68,000 too
Then I realised I've actually bf him while DOING something unusual so thought I'd put my pennerthworth in!
I'm a beauty therapist and have my own treatment room at home. One day a friend of my daughter's came round to have her eyelashes and brows tinted. I told my dh that I was going to go into my room and that I'd be finished in around 20 minutes and he'd need to look after our two week old lo. I also reminded him that our 4 year old needed picking up.
Anyway, getting on with the treatment and I just applied the tint and set the timer for 10 minutes when I heard lo wailing from in our lounge. Lo carried on crying and so I went to investigate to find my dh had left to pick up our 4 yr old and had left the lo as he was asleep.
Now, eyelash dye is even more potent than hair dye and needs precise timing so I'm now panicking as I have a client on the table and a screaming baby. I whopped him on my boob to see if a quick fix would do but as I got down to a 2 minute countdown I had no choice but to stick him in my Freedom sling and bf him while I took the dye off and finished off the treatment!
My dds friend obviously had her eyes closed but could hear him slurping and smackng his lips.
Needless to say I had to give her a big discount for that one and beat my dh extremely hard when he got back!!xx
