Just because I am comfortable with it doesn't mean everyione is and at a formal event I would slip away to a more private place. Dinner at your own house...go for it, but someone elses wedding...IDK. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-a-wedding-would-you-breastfeed-during-the-meal#post-623302 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 23:09:55 +0000 mrskc 623302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would. As long as DS wasn't a distracted nurser at the time. I can get him latched on pretty discretely so I would feel comfortable with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-a-wedding-would-you-breastfeed-during-the-meal#post-623280 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 23:06:33 +0000 sarac 623280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. But I'd breastfeed pretty much anywhere. I might throw a cover on (lol, that would be a joke) if I felt especially judged. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-a-wedding-would-you-breastfeed-during-the-meal#post-623246 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 23:00:08 +0000 googly-eyes 623246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I were BFing, yeah I would. (Unless I was having a hard time doing this discreetly, then I'd sneak off somewhere, because it would be more relaxing for me. That would be what's most important- that baby and I were comfy.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-a-wedding-would-you-breastfeed-during-the-meal#post-623228 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 22:56:02 +0000 travelgirl1 623228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: Oh I'm a disaster at nursing discreetly. Right now it's so hard nursing even at home because A's harness makes it hard. I have to lean forward. In public it's a nightmare, it stresses me out. If we go to Spain though, it will be because she's out of the harness so fingers crossed, it might be easier. I don't like the nursing in bathrooms though - I don't want her to eat by a toilet, bless her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-a-wedding-would-you-breastfeed-during-the-meal#post-623225 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 22:55:36 +0000 tysonja 623225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>restaurants yes, but at a wedding... maybe, maybe not... depends on where i'm seated and who i am with at the table! and also if LO is at a distractable stage or not, and what I'm wearing :) so many factors! :)</p> <p>ETA: i SUCKED at nursing discreetly :) I still did it when i could, but haha it wasn't very discreet unforunately...! hopefully for LO #2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-a-wedding-would-you-breastfeed-during-the-meal#post-623222 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 22:54:48 +0000 travelgirl1 623222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my heart, I agree with @Arden: - baby deserves to eat as much as anyone. But with FIL, loads of my BILs, five of my nieces and nephews and loads more family around, I don't know if I have the courage of my convictions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-a-wedding-would-you-breastfeed-during-the-meal#post-623220 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 22:54:32 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 623220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelgirl1: if I were good at nursing discreetly then yes. I never mastered that though &amp; it was always a huge production when I nursed so I'd absolutely find a quiet place (weddings usually have nice bathrooms) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-a-wedding-would-you-breastfeed-during-the-meal#post-623215 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 22:52:51 +0000 Kemma 623215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would probably depend on what I was wearing and how distractible LO at the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-a-wedding-would-you-breastfeed-during-the-meal#post-623211 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 22:52:11 +0000 Mrs. Bee 623211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope i would find a quiet corner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-a-wedding-would-you-breastfeed-during-the-meal#post-623208 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 22:51:33 +0000 Weagle 623208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, and I wouldn't right now with my LO. She's at an age where she gets super distracted and is basically turning flips while nursing even in private. I'd rather not bare my goods at someone's wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-a-wedding-would-you-breastfeed-during-the-meal#post-623204 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 22:51:11 +0000 runsyellowlites 623204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was still a bit novice at NIP when my SIL got married and we were sitting under some bright lights so I stepped out (they aren't too keen on NIP) but now.. I'd nurse right there &amp; have a number of times while out to lunch with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-a-wedding-would-you-breastfeed-during-the-meal#post-623202 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 22:50:26 +0000 Mommy Finger 623202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, I wouldn't feel comfortable nursing at any dinner table. Again, not that I think it needs to be a secret or anything but I would feel more comfortable in a more private area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-a-wedding-would-you-breastfeed-during-the-meal#post-623195 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 22:49:36 +0000 LittleFox 623195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It would depend who I was seated with. If it was friends and family or my tablemates didn't care, I would definitely go for it. I might be a little shy if I didn't know them well or if they seemed uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-a-wedding-would-you-breastfeed-during-the-meal#post-623190 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 22:48:50 +0000 Weagle 623190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends on who is around and if I want to deal with it. It's not that I think nursing has to be in private, but sometimes I just want it to be. And sometimes I don't want to deal with people's opinions about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-a-wedding-would-you-breastfeed-during-the-meal#post-623177 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 22:46:57 +0000 FarmWifeGina 623177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-a-wedding-would-you-breastfeed-during-the-meal#post-623176 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 22:46:25 +0000 Arden 623176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely. Baby deserves to eat too! I don't think it should be an issue, people can just look away if it bothers them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-a-wedding-would-you-breastfeed-during-the-meal#post-623151 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 22:42:47 +0000 travelgirl1 623151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As in at the table? I'm not sure if I will or if I'll sneak away to a quiet room somewhere... Probably the latter. The wedding's in Spain so I'll have to brush up on some Spanish to be able to deal with any questions about it I guess... </p>
