OK, I'll join in. My children were born in 1970, 72 and 75. Remember the
context: breastfeeding rates were at the lowest in 1972, around 25% in the
US. As a military wife, we moved around a lot when the children were small.
Just off the top of my head, here's a short list of places where I nursed my
children in public:

* At the Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, and in line touring the
White House
* San Diego Zoo; Colorado Springs zoo; Washington zoo; San Antonio Zoo;
Baltimore Aquarium; Lion Country Safari in Texas; Six Flags over Texas;
Disney World; Disneyland
* On board the USS Constitution; USS Alabama; and various boats at my
mothers' house on the Niagara River
* Several plane trips (once traveled alone with a four-week old and a 2 year
old - quite an "interesting" flight)
* More commissaries (food stores) and department stores than I care to count
* A bunch of churches - yes, did it right out there in the congregation, not
the "cry room"
* Waiting rooms/areas of all kinds - clinics, banks, businesses, government
offices, etc.
* In the park, and in the dark
* and on a train, and in the rain
* and with lunch, and in a bunch (of other nursing moms)
* Yes, I nursed them - mom I am!
