It's never occurred to me that it wasn't appropriate!

I think that this may be a difference between the US and other places, I've
just moved from the UK to the US, in my church in the UK, most people
breastfed in the main part of church and when they didn't, it was mainly
because the baby was already in creche or something and they'd just settle
down there, but I've just moved to the US and I've already noticed
differences, today I went to a morning group and a women at my table asked
all our permissions before she nursed and then did so with a blanket, which
of course meant everyone noticed, when had she not asked some people may not
have done and I think in the end I saw just as much as I would have done
without a blanket, I looked round and only saw people nursing with a
blanket, not without, what I saw today may not be a decent assessment, but
it felt as if people were apologising for nursing and questioning every
location.

I've done it in church, and I've seen at least one other mom do so,
although I often will go to the nursery. By the time he's hungry enough
to tell me, my boy is crying and making a spectacle of himself so it's
better that we remove ourselves as to not disrupt the service.

I wouldn't have done it early on in my breastfeeding days, I just
wasn't comfortable NIP anywhere in the open really when we first
started. But now that my son and I are both breastfeeding pros, we can
accomplish a feed without anybody really realizing - and without either
of us really caring if someone DOES figure it out.
