I make him leave the room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anyoneanywhere-youre-not-comfortable-bf-in-front-of#post-359335 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 01:00:14 +0000 lovehoneybee 359335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Haha my MIL did the same thing!</p> <p>I use a cover (a small, thin blanket) sometimes, especially if we're out in public, but generally I'm pretty comfortable breastfeeding in front of people. I figure if they have a problem with it they don't have to watch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anyoneanywhere-youre-not-comfortable-bf-in-front-of#post-359318 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 00:42:24 +0000 brownie 359318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will nurse anywhere and everywhere mostly without a cover. I have nursed at Disneyland, the fair, many different stores, sporting events (Olympic trials for gymnastics), in front of daycare and the kids, in front of male friends, my dad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anyoneanywhere-youre-not-comfortable-bf-in-front-of#post-359314 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 00:09:46 +0000 MsMini 359314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Other than when I am at home, alone or with just DH here I always nurse with a cover. At my IL's it has been made clear that I am to go to another room to breastfeed (though I BF with a cover when they are at our home). I usually opt to go out to my car to BF anyways, as LO is too distractible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anyoneanywhere-youre-not-comfortable-bf-in-front-of#post-359308 Wed, 24 Oct 2012 23:45:20 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 359308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: It's easier for me to count all the people I can nurse in front of:<br /> 1.My husband<br /> 2.My mom<br /> 3. My MIL<br /> 4.My SIL<br /> 5. Nurses<br /> That's it! Ahh...life is hard right now. Maybe I'll toughen up later: baby is only 9 days old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anyoneanywhere-youre-not-comfortable-bf-in-front-of#post-354368 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 15:04:40 +0000 mrs. wagon 354368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: @meredithNYC: @sunny: @stargal: @MungBean: oh, I could write a book.

I just actually snorted out loud! at the MIL one.</p> <p>I've had to feed her at my parents and it's hysterical..my dad disappears down into the family room, my brother goes into his room, my younger sister goes into her room. </p> <p>the only people I'm comfortable feeding her in front of are my husband, mom and aunt, and the lactation consultant. anyone else I'll use a blanket or wait. I've nursed her in my car (backseat) before but not in public. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anyoneanywhere-youre-not-comfortable-bf-in-front-of#post-354200 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 14:08:54 +0000 Mrsbells 354200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad too! Also everyone else. . Basically I'm a coward and cant breast feed in public, I also have to go to another room or if I am going out I have to pump and take it in a bottle. I dont know why. I basically never really get to use my nursing cover. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anyoneanywhere-youre-not-comfortable-bf-in-front-of#post-354190 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 14:07:47 +0000 mrs. wagon 354190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh and once, with Wagon Jr., I was BFing and my MIL came in and kissed Wagon Jr. on the cheek while he was eating. FROM MY BREAST. So yes, her lips were like MILLIMETERS from my nipple. NOT COOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anyoneanywhere-youre-not-comfortable-bf-in-front-of#post-354188 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 14:07:12 +0000 mrs. wagon 354188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad! Just the other day I was pumping (under a nursing cover) and he came in and plopped himself down on the couch right next to me and I almost had a heart attack!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anyoneanywhere-youre-not-comfortable-bf-in-front-of#post-354187 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 14:06:59 +0000 Weagle 354187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FIL... that's pretty much it. I use a cover when males are around, but I'm a bit more relaxed about it when it's just females. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anyoneanywhere-youre-not-comfortable-bf-in-front-of#post-354184 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 14:06:13 +0000 Smurfette 354184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that I will feel odd doing it in front of male friends, FIL and Step-MIL. We will see once baby gets here. Hopefully I can handle doing it with a cover. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anyoneanywhere-youre-not-comfortable-bf-in-front-of#post-354153 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 13:58:20 +0000 Bao 354153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feed her in front of family, friends etc with a cover but haven't done it in public yet. She's only 8 weeks so I'm assuming eventually it will have to happen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anyoneanywhere-youre-not-comfortable-bf-in-front-of#post-354145 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 13:53:16 +0000 LivsMama 354145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's friends. I BF'd liv with a cover once in front of one of them, but he was the first of his group of friends to have a baby, so I think it would have made them uncomfortable. And I wasnt comfortable doing it. So when she needed to eat, Id go to her room. I did it in front of strangers, my dad, my brother, etc. That I was fine with (covered as much as possible) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anyoneanywhere-youre-not-comfortable-bf-in-front-of#post-354142 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 13:51:49 +0000 mrsjazz 354142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I BF in front of everyone! (With a cover in front of any men).</p> <p>Since we live in NYC and take public transportation everywhere, I refuse to feed her on the subway or bus. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anyoneanywhere-youre-not-comfortable-bf-in-front-of#post-354135 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 13:50:27 +0000 autumnlove 354135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Dad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anyoneanywhere-youre-not-comfortable-bf-in-front-of#post-354124 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 13:47:20 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 354124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>teenage boys? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-there-anyoneanywhere-youre-not-comfortable-bf-in-front-of#post-354121 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 13:46:38 +0000 mediagirl 354121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Dad, his Dad.

Or is there any place you wouldn't do it?</p> <p>I'm still not comfortable in front of my male friends and will excuse myself to another room if we are at home or a friends house. If we're out with friends I bring a bottle of pumped milk with us.</p> <p>I can't think of any place we have been lately where I wouldn't BF though. </p>
