pathetic but a step-up nonetheless

Today I nursed in front of FIL and BIL for the first time. Sure I had a blanket over my shoulder but at least I didn't run and hide in the bedroom like I usually do.

I had my first dd in 1999...now I have a second dd who is 26 months and I have no qualms about nursing. It didn't take this long to feel comfortable, but it did take more than a few months...you'll be a pro in no time!

Woo hoo! Your confidence will continue to grow, too!

I usually sat in an adjoining room from my FIL, their house had an open plan so I could be near the action without sitting in front of him, although I'd nurse in front of MIL. I wished later that I'd been more confident - turns out there was no reason for me to be so shy with him. After FIL passed away, dh told me about a conversation they had regarding me nursing ds past one year. Turns out he thought it made a lot of sense and was supportive. I never thought he'd feel that way!

Your not pathetic. Baby Steps = Big steps.

Don't feel you need to live up to anyone's standads but yours. If nursing under cover made YOU feel better and more comfortable, that is what is important. Confidence will come in no time.

Good for you hon!! One of the hardest things I've ever done was NOT jumping up and running away when GFIL came within two feet of my boob when dd was a nursin' newborn. Keep on nursing!

wow i feel like a nursing slut i BF'ed in front of FIL, BIL, my own brother and father from the day i broght her home! Good Job though i can see where it could be hard! i think my FIL and BIL were a bit suprised the first time but got used to it pretty quick considering my SIL bottlefeed.
