Many, many feedings happened in the back seat of our car! I hated breastfeeding in public. I'm super self-conscious about my breasts in general (disproportionally large, not in a good way) and RJ loved...

Sha on "Breastfeeding in public... I was ashamed."

I never really did this successfully either. Max would get really hot under the cover and move around too much. I could do it "semi-public" at mommy groups or other "safe" feeling places. Maybe...
