I went to "The Show" yesterday with DH, SH, Dad and his GF and her DD, and Brother and his GF. We had a good time, although the show itself was disappointing this year.
Anyway, I wore Jett in the Baba Sling and nursed on the go. He nursed three times while we there and it was easy. I noticed that several people noticed what he was doing, as everyone was always trying to peep at "the baby in the weird holder." But, to my surprise and disappointment and relief, nobody said anything. Nothing positive,
. But nothing negative, 
.
I did almost get in trouble for changing him on the floor outside the restrooms. The security guards were yakking about me, literally behind my back, saying that was indecent and wrong and I should use the changing station. So, the other says, "Yeah, you know there's one in there. What's her problem? I'll show her that she has to use it." So, she goes in the bathroom, comes back out and says to the other first guard, "Actually, there's nothing in there. She should go find another bathroom." But, they never apparently had the nerve to confront me. Out of five bathrooms I entered in the Convention Center, only one had a changing station. That's sad. I got in a conversation on the matter with a man and his wife who had a son, maybe 10 yo, in a wheelchair. They found the place very inhospitable to their needs, as well. That just sucks.
Anyway, I've nursed in a lot of restaurants so far, but this was my first NIP, walking around and mingling...quite pleasant, simple and straightforward, I thought.
Just had to share.
