It's my IL's. Appearently, my nursing DS makes them (DH's grandfather esp) very uncomfortable. The whole issue is causing tension between them and DH.
He totally supports my BFing. Buuuut, when it comes to his grandfather's house, he wants me to nurse in another room away from everybody. WTH?
I refuse to seclude myself just to feed my baby. It's not shameful, and I will not hide to do it. (Besides the fact that DS likes to rock in a chair while nursing and the only rocking chair is in the living room.)
If I can't nurse over there..... I just can't go over there now can I?
I would love for my kids to have a good relationship with their grandparents, but seeing me nursing and visiting with their grandkids is a package deal. YK?
Do you think I am being unreasonable? I just don't want to enforce the idea that breastfeeding is something that can only be done in private.
What do you think about this situation?
TIA.
