@lemondrop: I've considered carrying around an eye mask for those who complain about being able to see... "Oh really? So sorry. Here you go, I carry a blindfold just in case for people like you."

@Arden: Fortunately I really haven't run into anyone who has given me any problems with it in public. I have gotten a few glances, but nobody has verbally been a problem.
Of course I like to stay as covered as possible in public (nursing cami with a shirt or sweater over)... the little guy doesn't though- he prefers to uncover and flaunt mom's boobs

@Shimmer: I'm not worthy (Wayne's World) Feeding a singleton at 2 weeks was hard enough, mad props to you for doubling that!
Would that be considered multi-tasking?

ok - when I feed LittleBebe I have to hold my breast tissue away from his nose so he can (obviously) breathe - how do you larger breasted ladies manage not to? Having breastfeeding being a two-handed job is KILLING me (I'm the type of person who nairs her legs instead of shaves because with nairing you can multi-task while waiting). GAH.
(Although I have an inkling suspicion it's because I have a lot of excess breast tissue from losing 120 pounds isn't it. Sniff/sob/sigh).

@bebefly: How old is your LO? I am over a D cup and those first 4-6 weeks were really hard. I didn't understand why people said they were able to read and snack while nursing because it was a two handed job for me! Now that she's older, heck I have both hands free. Sometimes it just takes time for them to learn how to latch better.

@Thehistoryofus: he's 3 months & latches well....maybe i should have him farther 'out'?

@bebefly: Do you use a Boppy pillow? I started around that age setting laying her head on the boppy and letting her nurse that way.

Probably not my brightest moment- we had a quick lunch at Chipotle and he had been practicing feeding himself. But he hung onto the fork while I topped him off... big fork waving at close range in my face

I had my husband take some pictures last week because I love these moments so much, I don't want to forget them. She kneeds my breast with both hands while eating.
