*We have, as traditional Lutherans, staked out our own pew. We have a whole box of tissues for the many little noses, and our Children's Hymnal. Contrary to tradition it happens to be in the front row. In the interest of full disclosure, our pastor has been asked (by an innocent third party, not myself) if there have been problems with immodest nursing...not in his experience.
"These cheeks aren't going to grow themselves!"
Last weekend we happened to have Adriane visiting our congregation; I was tempted to ask her to critique my technique but decided that probably wasn't "putting the best construction on everything". :)

When my children were young I used to discreetly nurse in church (or pretty much anywhere, for that matter). As you said, I'm sure most people are much happier with discreet nursing than with a screaming baby. I was a fan of a light blanket draped over my shoulder in church- merely because there were a bunch of elderly couples that usually sat near us. Other places, I used much the same method as you.
Good for you for giving the best to your darling boy.

Even if you did sit further back, who would see anything unless they turned around to watch? I don't get it, either.
It's not like the one couple whom I could no longer sit behind because they couldn't keep their hands off each other.
Angela – what a cute little guy you have! You’re to be commended for making sure he’s in church each Sunday, receiving the good stuff our Lord has to give.
