TIFU by breastfeeding at the eye doctor

This morning I had my first eye appointment in about 10 years and was feeling really excited to get in some new glasses!

I made my 3 year old son an appointment for the same time, so my husband came along to help. This also meant we had our 3 month old daughter with us.

The appointments were hectic with a toddler who didn’t want his eyes checked and so it took a little while to get through both visits.

By the end, when it was time to pick out frames, our daughter was starting to cry and ready to be fed. I decided the easiest thing for everyone would be if I fed her while I picked out my frames and sat to have them measured.

She was starting to get loud so I didn’t want to waste time running to the car for my cover, but I was wearing a nice loose shirt that I was able to lift over one breast and drape back down to cover my stomach so that nothing was showing. It been a while since I fed her so my breasts were pretty full.

Everything was just about done, and I was sitting with the optometric technician at her desk, paying while sitting and feeding the baby. I leaned forward to sign the receipt and right at that moment, my baby unlatched from my breast and leaned back to stretch. My full breast was not prepared to stop so quickly, and the milk was still shooting out in the form of 3 strong jets directly at the technician and all over her desk.

I covered up quickly, wiped her desk with my shirt, apologized profusely, and left.

TL;DR was breastfeeding my baby and accidentally shot milk all over the desk at my optometrist.
