About a year ago i was out with a friend who was just getting used to NIP with her 3 month old daughter. We were in a coffee shop (Tinderbox, GLasgow, UK if anyone is interested). I'd been NIP in there from when DD was 10days old so it seemed a good place for her to take the plunge.

Anyway babe woke, mama got to nursing. An old man, at the next table, immediately began to grumble and mutter. Soon he was loud enough that we could hear the grumblings of "disGUSting" and "public decency" and "should be ashamed". I just held my friend's eye contact and gave her my "Your legal right!" look (legally protected in the UK to NIP).

A few moments of this passed and then a member of staff passed, clearing tables. Old man pipes up "Aren't you going to do anything about her feeding THAT in here!? It's disgusting! They should be thrown out!" My friend was getting twitchy. I put a hand on her arm, and said "steady" under my breath.

The member of staff, a boy of about 18, looked at the old man, looked at us and said "one moment sir" to the old guy. He vanished. A moment later he returned with a paper cup and lid. He put the paper cup on the old guy's table, picked his half-drunk coffee up, poured it into the cup, put the lid on and then holding the cup out to the old guy said "You can't see them from outside, which is where you're going now."

The old guy had a face like THUNDER but he left. We smiled sweetly and BROADLY at him as he left.

I could have KISSED that boy! They have a BF-friendly attitude in there but this is seriously fabulous!
wow! just wow!

it's a shame you didn't kiss him

Cool!
I just got back from Glasgow and found that no one seemed to bat an eye at me nursing my big guy. The breastfeeding law is fab over there!
