When animals attack
So, file this under the weirdest* thing that ever happened to me while breastfeeding my baby.
On our recent trip to DC (which was awesome by the way), we settled in on a bench somewhat near the Vietnam Memorial so W could get some milk. I was not aware this was the territory of this psycho maneating squirrel.
At first, I was like, "aww, how cute! he's so tame!" So tame he would NOT leave us alone. This thing literally would have been on top of me and the baby had Fran not been their to shoo him away again and again. And he kept jumping back up. Maybe he could smell Tastykake on the baby's breath since his daddy had just given him his first few crumbs? Anyway, I really thought he was going to bite us. And if you don't believe me, he did bite Fran's foot at some point (just the shoe, thankfully — no rabid husband).
Finally he went away to bother some other tourists. Psycho.
*The weirdest breastfeeding moment, not the most annoying — that would have to be the lady who told me I had plumber's crack while I was breastfeeding, which I am not sure she was telling me to be nice. It came off kind of witchy, and also made me really nervous and self-conscious, which is NOT conducive to breastfeeding. I did cover my rear though.

I think the lady commenting on your crack was definitely much more scary than the squirrel. Wish I was there to see that one! Great seeing you!

1. Yes - in hindsight I thought I should have dropped the blanket that was covering my boobs to adjust my pants. That would have given her a good shock.
2. You CAN see those insane squirrels, just take some food and go sit down near the Vietnam Memorial. And be sure you have your rabies shot first.
