i always felt to exposed this is one of the reasons i chose not to continue to breastfeed among others.

Breastfeeding in public is not a huge deal for me. Most people don’t even notice!

I have never in the 10 1/2 month that I have been breastfeeding my daughter had anyone ever notice or comment on me breastfeeding in public. At first it made me nervous, but I got over it and got really skilled with it. I never even got anything close to a weird glance.

I don’t have a problem with breast feeding in public. It’s 100% natural, so I don’t understand how some mothers can be embarrassed or think it’s inappropriate.

My son is seven weeks and i have not breast feed in public much; however, the few times that i have, it was okay. Just made sure to cover myself well. There has been a few times where i was at family gatherings and would take the baby to the car and feed him there (with a cover thrown over him to cover me until he latched on then just made sure my shirt minimized any exposed skin.-Could not feed in the house because of so many people coming and going from all the rooms–even the bedrooms).

I don’t have to very often, but when I do, I don’t think anyone really notices…except for maybe other breastfeeding mothers!
I don’t really care though if someone does notice.. I’m just feeding my baby! And I cover up of course. Don’t feel like people are judging you.. I know it’s hard not to feel self concious. I did with my 1st little one.
Happy Breastfeeding!!!=)

I breast feed in public for the first time last weekend. I had no other choice because there wasn’t a designated area and our car was too far away. It was pouring so I didn’t want to run that far to my car. It was business as usual. No one really looked at me. We were covered with her baby blanket which was enough to be discreet. I caught a guy looking at us and smiling but not in a creepy way. He had a toddler with him. I figure he was just reminiscing or something. I would do it again. I’m not sure if I would ever do it without covering up. It was a lot easier than finding a place to warm up a bottle. My daughter has to have warm breast milk. She’ll refuse cold milk. I was too lazy to defrost and pack milk, bottles etc.

I was subconscious at first but after awhile I realize no one even notice. I always used a nursing wrap. I had two babies back to back and nursed both of them. It gets easier with time.

I breast feed in public all the time. The shirts that I usually wear have a loose low neck line that I can pull aside when I need to feed my daughter. Also, If I happen to be wearing a tighter shirt or one that does not have a low neckline than I wear a cami underneath so I can pull up my shirt on top, pull down either side of the cami and feed my baby. I suggest getting a light weight shaw to throw over your shoulder to give yourself some privacy if you are a little shy about anyone in public noticing.
