Breastfeeding Stories

I remeber when the baby was approx. 2 weeks old my husband was working out of town so I took the new baby to the Dr. all alone. Okay I was very nervous bc I just knew he would want to eat while we were in the Dr.s office. Before I left home I fed him, before we got out of the car I fed him, and guess what the minute we get into the Dr.s office BAM he cries the "I want food now" cry. I was so scared and intimidated about breastfeeding in public and so I went to the restroom and sat on the toilet, and tried to get him to eat....I knew they were calling our name now too but the baby needed to eat. When I told the nurse I was going to feed my baby she said "well were fixen to call your name" oh my what do I do now. So I brought a screaming baby back into the waiting room and tried to console him with everything but my breast but nothing worked....lol now I look back at this and think "how silly" why didn't I just feed him right there. Now I can feed him anywhere and if your offended...ha look away!!! Breastfeeding is the most natural thing yet in America we can be criticized for not doing this privately! Seems so crazy. It's not sexual....my baby is hungry!!!! Now my son is old enough that the nursing covers don't cover up a thing bc he pulls them off, so wow this could get interesting.
