I have no idea why - but the other day I had a conversation with a customer about all the.... let's just say strange places I've breastfed. I know a little odd, but if you're not a nursing mom yet - you'll see, just sayin. Several places went through my mind, airplane washroom... don't ask why, at bosses house at dinner table, trade show (that I was participating at).. then I remembered the one that sticks out the most in my head. Curious where? Have a read.
Picture this, the norwalk virus came calling one January. Mom has a 5 month old & 2 1/2 yo girls. It's January, winter outside sucks, snow everywhere - and eldest gets the flu. Literally hours later, my husband falls ill, then another hour later, I fall - we were falling like dominoes and there was no one left standing. Remember the Exorcist? Well it was like that but there was no need for any exorcisms.
So needless to say, when you're little 5 month old has norwalk and is keeping nothing in, when she's hungry you got to feed her, or at least try and feed her. It was so bad my husband even offered me $5 bucks to change the DVD in the DVD player! I'll try not to get too graphic, but as I was on the throne with bucket in one hand, babe in the other I actually heard myself moaning and thought - this is definitely not something I'm saying at her wedding!
How about you? If you feel up to it, share your story. Your name will go in for a $25 my Bump Gift Certificate just for sharing.

I've nursed my babies anywhere and everywhere, including on an inner tube in the middle of the lake in summer. Great way to cool down and get baby to drift off to sleep.

I have too many!
1) in the front seat of a semi that ws towing ourpickup and 5th wheel
2) in a wetsuit at the georgia aquarium while waiting to go swim with the sharks...and after
3) on trading floors in at least 2 countries (i think 3, but can't be sure)
4) in 25 states and 4 countries
5)leaned over the carseat from New York to Chicago when we moved from overseas
I could go on and on!

I, too, have bf while everyonr in the family had the flu (not on the toilet though, you take the gold for that one!). I have two other "fun" places I've bfed though: on a train tour around the zoo, and at an upscale Las Vegas buffet (at the table). =)
...while standing trying to supervise my older two children at the playground! Busy street, cars going by...it was the third kid and I had sat down to do it discretely, just latched my son on, then the other two erupt in a big blow out with the school bully. I ran over there in a big hurry and literally didn't even think about unlatching--came from the bad habit of walking around the house while breastfeeding. Ah the fate of that third child!
Sorry I've been so negligent in responding to your comments. We introduced a new puppy into our family and .... well it's mayhem! Have neglected work, twitter & blogging! I need a March Break from my life. (not really - but a night out with a glass of Merlot would suffice:))
