Nursing in Public

(c) Flickr User Tim/Selena Middleton

Do you/have you ever nursed in public or are you a private nurser?

I pride myself on being able to nurse anywhere without showing everything to everyone and without covering up my baby either. I’ve practiced a lot and can nurse, often without anyone knowing what I’m doing. I thought I’d make a list up of the places in public I’ve ever nursed.

This is mostly for my curiosity but I hope it also encourages other nursing moms to try breastfeeding wherever they are, instead of hiding in a corner or worse, a bathroom to feed their baby. Practice at home in front of a mirror to see how much you are showing.

After you check out the list, let me know if you’ve nursed in public somewhere I haven’t.

Places I’ve Nursed:

1. Front Porch
2. Back Porch
3. Park
4. McDonalds
5. Tim Hortons
6. Burger King
7. Highway Rest Stop
8. By the Side of the Road
9. On the front steps of a church
10. Inside a church
11. At a Girl Guide meeting
12. At Girl Guide Camp
13. At family camping
14. At playgroup (which is in a school)
15. Library
16. On the bus
17. At the bus stop
18. At the beach
19. At Jungle Cat World 
20. The Mall (thanks Canadian Coupon Mom for reminding me) 
21. In a pool (a few pools actually) (ADDED July 7)
22. ?? I’m sure I’m forgetting some

So have you nursed somewhere I haven’t? Maybe you’ll help me remember something I’ve forgotten. Leave a comment!
