In your opinion, is it proper to.....?

it sounds weird, guys are gonna be staring.

I like the new pic by the way. :)

At home I would nurse my daughter wherever we were. If we were at anyone else's house (regardless of how formal the occasion was), I would ask the host if there was a room I could use to nurse. If we were in public, I tried to use a restroom if possible. If there was not any room that offered some amount of privacy, I would bring a chair to a corner and cover my daughter (and my breasts) with a blanket.

Once my daughter was able to easily go between the breast and a bottle, i always gave her a bottle in public.

Not really. A formal dinner party is no place for an infant and with today's breast pumps, there is really no reason you can't pump and leave a bottle for a sitter to feed the baby in a more appropriate place.....I'm not against doing whatcha gotta do, but I am against babies at formal functions.

It's poor etiquette to even bring your baby to a formal dinner party. Pump yourself like a cow and stock the fridge for the babysitter before you go.

I really don´t think it´s proper to take a child to a formal dinner party in the first place. And of course it´s improper to breast feed the kid, especially at the dinner table! If anything, you should go to the living room or powder room.

No, Absolutely not! You can ask to be excused and take it into another room or out to the car if at a restaurant. People will understand why you are leaving the table and not consider it rude. It is more rude, covered or not, to have all the little sucking and slurps at the table. And there is always adjusting involved. Everyone will appreciate your being respectful.

It's not. DEFINITELY. NOT. It might seem necessary to you, but if you really need to, then go someplace else like a bathroom? unless you don't want to be invited to any more dinners again. no offence but i don't really see why you would even think about doing that in public or at a dinner let alone a FORMAL dinner party.

Not in the room, just go into the restroom, its kind of awkward to see someone flop out there boob and start feeding their baby. If you know that you are going to the dinner party ahead of time just take a bottle with you. Plan ahead.

I would breastfeed at a dinner party but I would keep it covered with a blanket. or go to a different room

It would be wise to check this out with the hostess first. Personally, I see nothing improper about breast feeding in public. It's a normal natural thing. But some people don't feel this way about it.

Yes, whippin ya tit out infront of a bunch of people is definately proper.

Woman, other womens husbands, and children? I don't think it is the right thing to do at all.

No it is not, the proper thing to do would be to politely excuse yourself, and take you baby into another room to feed it.
