I don't have a problem with people breastfeeding in public. I am a bit uncomfortable when I see a child run up to their Mom, ask for it and start breastfeeding. I don't care what you do at home, but...

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...

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...
