Yesterday evening I nursed my baby in a bar. I kinda felt like a superhero bc I dont NIP often, but i also felt kinda like a bad mom -especially after getting the evil eye from some cougar in hot pink leggings. In my defense, DH and I were there for a late dinner and I wasn't drinking (except for a few sips of his beer before I started feeding LO). Also, I may have mindlessly reached for his glass while LO was attached under the blanket... But caught myself before taking a drink bc that probably would have been frowned upon ![]()
Re: Questionable Parenting...
IMO no big deal. I nursed my first while drinking a margarita at a Mexican resturant when she was 8 weeks old, but I've always been klassy like that.
That cougar was probably just pissed because you've got awesome nursing boobies and a reason to show them off and she doesn't!
I think pink leggings are more inappropriate than a baby in a bar. But the owner of our favorite pub went and bought a high chair for S, so...... yeah. (In my defense, it's a restaurant that happens to also be a bar. They have really good burgers. And Guinness on tap. Dark beer is good for milk production. Therefore, MOTY.)
And you go! NIP with no shame. You don't put a blanket over your head while eating, why should your baby?
