That's awesome!

DS nursed while I made calls from the Dem headquarters phone bank in 2004. We used to joke, "where haven't I nursed?" When he was a toddler we did a cross country trip, so he nursed while I hiked in numerous national parks in the sling. Also while taking the guided tour of the Capital Building and Independence Hall.

In the emergency room, while the ER doctors cut through my toe to try to dig out a sewing needle that I had stepped on.
On crowded buses.
On the floor/ground in several public places (including grocery stores and a museum) when my daughter didn't want to be in the mei tai.

In front of a judge and roomful of people waiting for bankruptsy hearings (our business went down). During our turn my babe wouldn't settle down so I had to nurse her standing up and bouncing so I could hear and answer the questions. The judge was obviously upset by it and spoke to me harshly and rudley for the entire hearing.

I wear her in a sling a lot, and she latches on, as needed. Grocery store, knitting supply store, outdoor cafe... wherever.

Wow, I love reading all the fabulous places women have nursed. My DD is only 6 weeks old and the most exotic place we've nursed so far has been the shoe aisle at Target.

I've seriously considered the backseat nursing thing, haha.
I'd say the strangest place I've nursed is in a cave. I've done planes, funerals, and weddings too. I nursed my son when he was dressed as a hot dog, hehe.

I've nursed dd and dh pretty much everywhere we've been, but the most unusual was when I took dd to an osteopath to clear up some sinus drainage issues and she nursed while he worked on her head.

I nursed ds in the Ergo carrier while walking all around Paris. That was a great trip....

The strangest/coolest place I ever nursed was a few weeks ago at a Several Species (Pink Floyd Tribute Band) concert.

It was at a wonderful waterfront outdoor venue, and with the lasers, music and happy dancing people, It tops them all!

We parked ourselves on the lawn with our camping chairs and had a nice family outing.

I know boobs usually pop out at concerts, but not for that reason

I guess the car seat must be a staple. Resturants, Stores, Weddings, Movies, Large family Xmas with a room full of formula feeders. : Anywhere I was. But the two most memorable were

1. While hosting a baby shower. I held DS and nursed while giving instructions for various shower games. That was fun!

2. At my 12 year old nephew's DARE graduation. Not really that strange until a full row of 5th graders started pointing and giggling!

Love this thread!!
Some of the interesting/different places Ive nursed:
Disneyland- on several rides, while waiting for the parade to start, while waiting for DH to get off a ride. Ive nursed Cinderella, Snow White and Aroua (DH got DD a bunch of Disney costumes when she was a newborn).
Disneyworld: Several rides and almost every show there is
At a Dodgers game in the middle of the National Anthem (made the people sitting next to me VERY uncomfortable)
During church
While walking down the street when we first moved to Japan.
At the Zoo, Botanical Gardens, Aquarium etc.
At several of my husband's work fuctions.
During a formal ball we had gone too.
While the military movers packed up our household gear.
At the animal shelter while waiting for the paperwork on the dog we adopted
While helping a friend move (she didn't realize that I was nursing and scared her when she figured it out- she was sure I was going to hurt DD)
On several planes
At work while I was in Cammies (Military uniforms while comfortable aren't really made for Breastfeeding)
While waiting for the ID place to print out my new ID
At waiting for a prenatal appointment (I was 22 weeks pregnant, I got a LOT of weird looks from everyone else)
While visiting a friend who was in the hospital

Im sure that there are others as well.

I know there was unusual places with DD1 but for the life of me can't remember..

But with DD2 so far the most unusual place for me (stores, restaurants are normal here) would been in the middle of a beer garden at DH's ball tourney... DD2 was like 10 days old...

Hilbert Circle Theatre just yesterday 'cause she was getting hungry while we were enjoying the symphony. Tons of fun.

I would have to say the most unusual place that I have nursed would have been in a massage chair while getting a pedicure. Defiantly have whipped out the boobie in the middle of a state parks, playgrounds, grocery stores and restaurants without a second thought. I may be weird but I love seeing peoples reactions. I just sit/stand there thinking "go ahead say something, I dare ya!"

Walking through a corn maze!
My 10 YO nephew turned and said, "Is he sleeping?"
I said, "Nope, He's eating!"

His eyes got real big! hehe I guess I did a very good job at being discreet.

I nursed at the zoo, watching the keepers put out food for a black jaguar.

Wow, this thread is so much fun to read! How cool that we can feed our babies immediately, whenever they're hungry, no matter where we are!

That said, I haven't actually nursed anywhere special... apart from at home or in friends' homes, and in the car (not moving), I can only think of... the park? Oh yeah and a café once. That's pretty much it! How boring!! I need to work on that.
