I breastfed for a total of 32 months (holy cow) and guess what? I occasionally left my home, with my babies during that nearly three-year period. That means I have nursed:
- on airplanes and in airports
- on busses
- in (parked) cars
- in dozens of restaurants
- in stores and shopping malls
- in Central Park
- in many other parks
- in my boss's office (during a meeting)
- in my own office (sometimes with baby, sometimes with pump)
- at the hair salon and the dentist's
- during a pelvic exam (I wish I were kidding)
- at church
- in front of my dad, my brother, my uncle, my brother-in-law, and my mother-in-law's "gentleman friend"
I only wish I had some photographic evidence to stick in Facebook's eye. Well, maybe not from that time during the pelvic.

Cheers to you! I don't have any photographic evidence either, but I have to admit that I actually did nurse in a bathroom. More than once.
Not this time though.
Yeah - maybe not from that time during the pelvic - yikes!
Very impressive. I can barely make small talk during gyno exams.
It's great to know that there are a lot of women out there who wear their breastfeeding badges proudly.
During a pelvic exam! You are talented, my friend!
All my photos and old disks of digital stuff are packed away but I'm not sure I had much of me nursing.
That would require me to prompt my husband to get the camera and take a photo and I was probably busy and it NEVER freaking occurs to him (even if I prompt him in advance) (like 25 times on the way to the event) (or every morning over breakfast during vacation).
I did nurse during a dental visit. That was the worst. As in most difficult and uncomfortable.
Loved your list!
That's impressive... especially that pelvic exam.
My list is less impressive. I wish I could have nursed longer. I only lasted five months, but I really enjoyed it. It was such a special time for us.
But never, not ever in a bathroom! That sounds like the beginning of a great Dr. Seuss book on breastfeeding. I know he'd do it if he were alive. Bravo to you!
I couldn't breastfeed so I stole someone elses picture to swish around under facebooks nose.
They haven't banned me yet but I suspect it's only a matter of time.
I nursed in a bathroom once (defying the objections of everyone at the table who assured me they'd block all view). It wasn't very comfortable.
During a pelvic exam, though - that's a good one. Is there some kind of prize for that?
Good for you! Not in a bathroom ... can you imagine?
