I was the only wearing more than a bathing suit.

I nursed Monkey for almost 10 months. Not once in public. I don't have anything against breastfeeding in public, it just isn't my thing. I'm too embarrassed, shy, whatever, to get the girls out. I feel way too naked doing that.

Today I set my irrational fears and emotions aside (because I know that's what they are: irrational) and decided if millions of other women can do it. I can do it.

Of course I picked the perfect occasion for my first time nursing in public.

I didn't do it at a rock concert.

NOOOOOO, I nursed Roo in a place where I thought it was very likely that breastfeeding would be accepted. A place were most people were partially naked (so you know, the tiniest glimpse of my milk factory wouldn't be noticed), where most people were either a mom or a dad and where most people were with a toddler.

Monkey's swimming class! (perfect place, it felt like burping in a trucker's cafe).Today I joined my husband and Monkey to their toddler swimming class. I took Roo too, and we were sitting on a bench cheering at our men in the water.. and than, well, it was feeding time.

So it was either miss Monkey's swimming class (it was first time joining the guys) or get over it.

So I waved when Monkey checked if I was still there, watched him cry when they all had to go under the water, saw him hold on to his daddy as if he would never, ever let go, smiled confident as he struggled to walk in the water and saw him forget all his water fears to grab a ball that was floating around.

Anyone else got over a fear today?
