I’d think the movie theater thing would be easy. It’s dark anyway.
Who would bring their baby to a movie theater or a university lecture, though?
In my case I think breast feeding in public would be icky.
I mean, I’m in my 30’s now and my mother is in her 60’s. I just think that would be weird. People don’t want to see that shit.
I dunno, Seven. I plan on breastfeeding my son right on into his 40s! 
I’ll go on record as considering it a greater faux pas to invite a woman with a nursing infant to your wedding without her child.
Why, tlw? If it was an adults-only affair, should she be excluded completely? Or did the bride and groom have no right to an adults-only wedding? The baby’s mother certainly has the right to decline the invitation if she can’t bear to be away from her child for even a few hours, but what right has she to bring along an unwelcome child?
Since the birth of my son I have been without him on maybe three occassions. For these times I pumped enough milk to get him by and fed him immediately before leaving and upon returning. It worked for me. Of course, she doesn’t have to do that, she has other options. But I don’t see bringing the baby with her to the wedding as one of them.
guilty look I’ve done both. When my daughter was really tiny, she fed constantly, and the only way for me to go watch a movie (which I really wanted to see) was to take her with me. So her first movie was The Truman Show at 4 weeks of age (and I doubt anyone in the cinema realised she was there). I stopped taking her once she was bigger and wrigglier, though.
The university lecture was because I lived a long way from my college while on a PhD (which I eventually had to give up because of the travelling :/), and she was too young for most childcare. Again, I doubt anyone noticed. Very young babies, too young to crawl off at least, really can be quite unobtrusive.
Ahh gotcha.
The college I went to had a strict no-kids-in-the-lecture policy so I guess that’s why I couldn’t fathom taking a kid to school with ya.
