I am looking for anyone who has bf or knew someone who did while dancing. I was told using latax on my nipples might work, but I don't know.... Anyone have anything to say about it. He just won't wean.

Is this for you baby, your boyfriend, or a customer.
The answer will vary depending on the feeder.
LOL, Sitri.
I breastfed my daughter while I was dancing. It's a little weird at first because your body makes enough milk to feed them for the next day. One of the things I did was change her feeding schedule. I weaned her off night feedings and fed her a bit more in the day. So, at that point, my body was not making as much milk during the night so I didn't have to worry about the self-inflating "boob job". Then, I took a pump with me to work. When I started to feel uncomfortable (like my boobs were getting a little too full, thus prone to leakage) I would excuse myself and run up to the dressing room, take off the latex, pump, reapply the latex and be set to go.
It takes a little getting used to, but it's totally do-able. Just need to tweak the little one's schedule a bit. ;) BTW...how old is your little one? That also makes a difference. I BF my little one until she was 27 months old...so even towards the end, she was much older and not nursing as much as before...so it became less of a "problem". The younger your baby is...the more likely you'll just need to pump 1 or 2 times throughout your work night.
Latex helps a bit, but not overly much. Basically you'll still leak but at the bottom of the latex and not straight from the nipple, so the customer may not be able to see where it's coming from.
I'm nursing a six week old. It's a high maintenance annoyance at work, but it is certainly doable. Take a good pump (Medela is awesome). Avoid alcohol, it encourages let-down. Get to know the feeding schedule, so you know about when the dangerous times for potential leaks are. And remember this phrase, which will save your neck in the case of sudden leakage: "Oh my God! That asshat spilled his beer on me. Oh, this is nasty, please excuse me while I change."
