NIP after 1 year?

Grace0609

I am curious what everyone else thinks of this.

Background:  I have had no problem NIP up until this point.  I usually just have found a quiet corner, tried not to draw attention to myself, maybe chosen a spot in a restaurant where my back was to everyone in the corner booth, etc.  I haven't always used a cover b/c DS would always fling it off after about 6 months of age. 

The Issue:  Ok, so DS is now over a year old (barely).  There have been a few times when we've been out when he has wanted to nurse.  For example, at his doctor's appt the other day he was ATTACKING me to try to nurse.  I finally did since we were at the doctor's and I figured, geez, she shouldn't care!

BUT, why am I starting to feel self conscious?  I can't figure out why I feel this way?  Do you think people have MORE of a problem with older babies NIP than younger ones?  I don't know why I get the feeling they do.

Anyway. Just wondering if you think it is inappropriate to do so, if I still follow the same guidelines I have in the past of being discrete.
