Yup my very first NIP moment and I didn't even hesitate or think twice. I tried to be discreet, but who knows I'm a 44 F, they are hard to hide. I have worried about this until now, and am still nervous about it if I think about the possibility.
Yesterday I had a dental appointment for a cleaning and brought my 3 week old DD along and my Mother (to babysit).
Despite all of my great intentions to breastfeed before we left (we did, but it was short) to keep DD satisfied she started crying 1/2 way through my cleaning. it was very difficult for me. My mom did great held, rocked, walked bounced the LO and changed a diaper until I could come out.
As soon as I got my hands on my DD I sat in one of the waiting room chairs wrangled a breast out and popped DD on. Like I said at the begining I didn't hesitate - My little girl was hungry and needed me. I wasn't woried about what people would think or say, it needed to be done. I was suprised since I still need pillows to help prop up DD at home, but then again the dental office wasn't the most comfortable place - but the chair worked.
Everyone at the office was really great actually and one commented on how natural it was and how she couldn't believe that people were bothered by it. So now I feel a little better about going out in public.
I was suprised at how happy and proud I was with myself over something that seems so natural at home.
