Nursing in Public....

Anyone have an issue with doing this? Not me.. You name it, If we've been there, we've probably nursed there..

I used to be very shy and nervous about nursing in public.. UNTIL.. My experience with my second child.. She was two weeks late, and I thought she'd be about 5 weeks old, but she was only 2 weeks old when we went to Florida on our vacation.  We went to Disney World.. I was so afraid of dehydration with the heat, so I nursed her EVERYWHERE.. I walked and nursed her, I sat and nursed her, I nursed her in the restaurants, on the streets, in the mothers rooms, and even in the middle of live shows.. I didn't care.. My baby HAD to drink a lot.. And I had to be a good mom and make sure she was well hydrated... and she was!

In Disney, there are so many walks of life there, so nobody flinched.. I had one guy say to me as I was panicking trying to latch her on, and me get situationed.. he said.. "You should do that somewhere more private."  I said.. "I do it where I have a right to do it, and if you have a problem, keep harrassing me, cause I don't mind taking this to court." He said, "Mam, I didn't mean anything by it.. " Sure you didn't!! Jerk!

Now with my last baby.. I don't care.. I kinda felt bad when I was at Cracker Barrel and she got hungry.. I waa facing the door where people come to be seated.. I felt a little awkward, but di d it anyway.. I faced directly there so everyone who came in the door saw me.. *smile* So what.. I'm worrying about my baby not about other people, right?! :) LOL!

Oh and nursing tops and things.. I was in a breastfeeding group, and couldn't believe that people were saying that nursing clothes were a waste of their money.. When I asked why.. they aid.. it was more trouble then it was worht.. So I explained that you need to tuck the bottom layer into your pants, and that's what covers you up.. Everyone was a little suprised.. haha.. I was just as supried that they didn't know how to use these clothes.. These are EXPENSIVE and it's nice to have.. But if your broke like I am.. I can't afford them.. I tried to make my own, but no, go.
