He he, I laugh out loud in memory, recognition and just because it’s you Bon!! I love the way you write, and the picture I have of you in my head as I read these stories. And yes, as the others have said, it does get easier – I fed in public all the time, restaurants, cafes, on the train – I even answered the door feeding once (I knew it was a friend). The key is layers. Wear a thin under-layer with no zip, then a zip / button up on top. You pull the under one up over your boob and leave the zip on done up enough to cover your tummy. Works wonders. Otherwise you can get one of those shawl / poncho things but they cost a bomb and look like a hassle – beside, it’s just one more thing to remember to put in the nappy bag!!

Hey there Bon, it does get easier, I suggest investing in a Snuggli with a zipper , I used to go for walks and cook supper with Geoffrey in the Snuggli, happily feeding away, no wonder the little gaffer gained so much weight so fast! Say hi to Dave and pass on some cuddles to that wonderful new nephew of mine! Hugs to the new mama too.

My gold @ 1st was to master breastfeeding (which took about 1 month )and then work on discretion….it does all come together.

LOL! It does get easier. Heck, I have even managed once or twice to nurse in public without a blanket. :) Give it time my friend. Everything will become easier with time. Actually, it happened for me at the 3 month mark. I love reading your posts.
