woohoo Rhonda!!!
I have an update on me breastfeeding in public.....
this morning I was back in Penrith (same place I was booed and hissed at for breastfeeding baby on Sunday!), this time looking for a watch for my Birthday.... I ended up in one jewellery shop - baby in sling AND breastfeeding... whilst the young-ish sales girl had to try all these watches on my wrist (as it was too awkward for me to do it with both hands - baby in sling; the height of the counter.... and keeping my toddler sitting in the pram!!). My baby kept coming off the boob, so had to keep pausing to re-attach him! The sales girl never batted an eyelid.
Needless to say - I gave them some business - and bought my watch from them!!!
 
cheers,
Nicole

Well, having my own shop I used to sit/or stand and serve customers while feeding - sometimes getting them to "help themselves" to the jewellery that they wanted.  Then fumbling change one handed to them or I would just serve them and answer questions etc  -  I never once had anybody complain or even look twice.  I guess as our shop is really relaxed and being body piercing - the only question about feeding in the shop that I ever got was - "Do you have your nipples pierced?"
 
I never mastered doing a piercing while breast feeding though.  Just had to put him down for that one. Generally had so many happy customers and even passers by who wanted to give him a cuddle that it was never a problem though.

I used to breastfeed mine (one-handed) while pushing a supermarket trolley
around doing the weekly shop! I even managed to continue at the check-out by
passing up one item at a time from the trolley to the conveyor belt. Not
conventional or restful but when you have 4 small children things just have
to be done!
