That's led to some interesting breastfeeding locations! I hope you'll share some of yours in the comments, or even in your own post.
(I wanted somewhere to sit, so originally they directed me to a sheltered spot. But eventually I wanted to get back to work on my lavender crafts so I just propped Mikko up while I got to it.)
In a mountain village
(And on the way there. My father-in-law was rather exasperated we had to pull over.)
On ferries
On a tour boat
(That was during my only — failed — attempt to use a blanket as a cover — it kept blowing off!)
On a sailboat
(I still question the wisdom of taking a newborn on a sailboat…)
On a motor boat
(That life jacket was pretty hilariously big for Alrik.)
At Pike Place Market
(I remember how awkward I felt getting settled on a bench there with newborn Mikko, with strangers sitting and standing all around me, but we managed!)
At two Nordic Festivals
(Skål!)
In the bathtub
(Hey, they're out and available.)
In the shower
(Hold on tight! Slippery baby!)
At a pirate festival
On the beach
At the wading pool
In a hot tub
At a fire station
In theaters
(At movies, concerts, & plays.)
At Navy Pier
In coffee shops
At restaurants
(We all eat frequently — what can I say?)
In the bathroom
At the Olympic Sculpture Park
At a state fair
On playdates
In a cupcake shop
In classes
While video chatting
At friends' houses
At relatives' houses
(And everyone's been supportive, too!)

At story time
At a hot springs
At the airport
On airplanes

At a cider mill
At church
(In the service, in the cry room, in the nursery, in the lobby, in small groups)
At a tea party
At baseball and football games
At birthday parties
In a cave
While trick-or-treating
At the library
In a portrait studio
(There's no point trying to photograph an unhappy baby.)
At a bowling alley
(Candlepin!)
On a subway
In my sleep
At a caucus
While shopping at stores
(Sometimes I sit; sometimes I walk, even without a carrier, for I am talented.)

On a water taxi
At a wedding
In a teepee
At the aquarium
At the zoo
At various museums
During a kids' project at a home-improvement store

On a hike to a waterfall
On a ferris wheel
At an arcade
While riding a carousel
In the hospital
In a tent
While peddling a surrey
(And taking a selfie! Don't worry — I wasn't steering.)
On a farm
On a tractor ride
In the car
(Not while it was driving.)
In parking lots
In a mule-drawn carriage
On a hay ride
At a fireworks display
(More than once!)
On a train
In a rainforest
In a redwood forest
At the dentist
At an amusement park
At home
What are some of the unique places you've breastfed?
Obviously, I didn't take all these photos. My thanks to Sam, Shannon, Amy, & anyone else who helped me fill out this collection!
