For a second there I was thinking “wow – your house is wonderfully designed!” Then I realized that’s Ikea… LOL! I LOVE that last picture!
hah – yep you are the second person who has said that. There was actually a post that goes with that photo, at the time: http://lovingearthmama.com/2010/08/27/can-you-flat-pack-breasts/. It is one of two ‘breastfeeding in public’ photos here. The other one is the second to last one which was the other day at Stanford Mall. I wanted a picture of me breastfeeding Anya as a toddler. And yeah, that last one is by far my favourite one, too. Love it!

Oh holy cow, these are awesome! I especially love the football hold / last pic! Thanks for sharing, these are just absolutely gorgeous!
I enjoyed your photos. I have fond memories of breastfeeding. I had a friend who was so embarrassed to do it in public. I remember telling her to relax and that eating (or drinking milk) in public is no biggie. Everyone does it. Even her baby deserves to do that freely. :o)
@Momma Jorje – thanks. Me, too, that is definitely my favourite!!
@Soniac9 – yep, two of these were in public (not sure where you saw these, so not sure if you knew that already) – one is the one in Ikea (big living room ‘set’) and the other is the second to last one which is at a local Mall (outdoors). I do it all the time and quite brazenly… though with sensitivity. I’ll try and cover up with a shawl (baby permitting) if I am in the company of husbands (whose wives may not want them viewing other women’s boobies – haha) or people who seem generally uncomfortable with it. I try to feel and respect other people’s feelings even as I myself am quite comfortable feeding my child whenever, wherever she is hungry, thirsty or in need of connection with mommy.
Thanks to both of you for stopping by!
