Every mother should have a Plan B (as in breastfeeding)!!
We all have wished at one point or another that we could just disappear. Maybe you were obligated to make a family gathering. Or maybe in the company of annoying people that you just wanted to rid of but couldn't. Or just maybe you need to get away from the New Years Eve festivities where your drunk Uncle has had one too many drinks and is now embarrassing every one within his blurred eyesight... Was that just me? lol well you get the picture! I for one have been in these sort of situations. What I would've given to have a fire escape slightly out of sight but within reach so that I could slip away at a moment's notice...
There's one thing (out of many) that I cherish about breastfeeding. That's using the need to breastfeed to get out of situations. Come on! I know I'm not the only one who has played the "my baby's hungry card" to ease out of unbearable situations. I for one will tell you that this strategy has been tried and proven effective!
As healthy as breastfeeding is, many people still view it as some sort of ungodly act that should never be spoken of let alone witnessed. As unfortunate as this is, it gives you the ability to duck off into a vacant room without much worry about others coming in. And if they do they'll leave faster than they came. Can you say peace? To this I say don't feel bad. As it's one of the many perks of choosing to nurse your baby.
Use it to your advantage!
