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 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!)

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!
