[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]**Let me preface this by saying I nursed both my boys until they were 1, and they didn't love covers and I did nurse in public but tries to walk a line between comfort and being disscreet.

I went to a new friends home for a play date with our 3 year olds and her 2 year old. I knew she was a little hippie crunchy and really liked her from our interactions at preschool.
She answered the door with a men's shirt on, unbuttoned to her navel, and as soon as I was in there she undid the whole thing so it was casually open in front, with full view of both large boobs, so her 2 year old could walk up whenever he wanted and have a drink.
So we sat at her kitchen table drinking coffee while she had both boobs out and would occasionally have to lean over when she felt her son tug and want a drink.
I fought a furious battle in my head trying to be open and nonjudgmental that I ultimately lost after futily trying to look anywhere, anywhere else but at her chest. It was like Jesus himself was beckoning me to look, I literally could not *not* see them, like they were following me or a weird Mona Lisa type thing. 
I was so exhausted from the effort to not think it was weird and be normal that I had to take a Tylenol and go to bed.

I just laughed so hard at this that I got a "wtf" look from my puppy. I nursed mine until 2 1/2 and I can't imagine doing that, in front of a new friend at that. Thanks for the laugh, PP!

That IS funny. I also nursed both my kids past age 2, but most of the nursing past age 18 months happened at home w/o visitors!
It reminds me of my own odd playdate with a new friend....we had grabbed cold coffees and were at a nearby park, and she kept alternating between nursing her two year old (not discreetly) and giving the toddler her own iced hemp milk mocha cappuchino. I kept wondering *what* are you doing? Are you seriously giving a toddler breast milk, hemp milk, and caffeine all the same time ? She was actually a neurologist turned sahm so it wasn't lack of smarts....it was just odd![/quote]

Ha! I remember I gave my DD some of my iced coffee on a playdate with a close, but very straight-laced friend, when DD was about 3. I thought my friend was going to pop an vein right then and there. I was not aware how strict some people are about kids and caffeine (in my culture lots of people allow kids to have a little milk coffee)!

BTW, where in the DMV can I buy iced hemp milk mocha cappuccino? And can I be friends with your hippy-dippy neurologist SAMH friend? She sounds like my type of mom friend :)[/quote]
