tips for breastfeeding in public

Nursing Queen! Their clothes are great quality. Some have a little flap or there’s a zipper right at your boob for easy access. My BIL didn’t even notice I was nursing until I had to put a blanket over myself to pop my boob back in.

i have a few tops from latched mama that i really like and i prefer the nursing covers that have a strap around my neck so i can cover myself and still peek in without worrying about the cover falling

@Breanna thank you this is helpful!

@Jessica thank you! yeah I think I'm just getting in my head that everyone is going to be staring but I guess you don't really notice unless you bring attention to it

I get your fear. I still haven’t attempted in public, but knowing I was doing it while talking to someone and he had no clue, that definitely made me feel a little more confident.

Love all this advice cause I have been pumping a fresh bottle before going in public.

Ekouaer from Amazon are my favorite shirts!! I nurse anywhere and everywhere I go 😂 I have zero shame. Gotta feed my baby!

I found that wearing a combo of nigh waisted jeans and a fitted tank top works for me! I lift the shirt up from the bottom instead of the top and I feel less exposed that way. But also I totally have no shame either. Last time I fed in public, a lady came up to me and told me that she loved that I was feeding in public and that there shouldn’t be any stigma :)

same! I’ve only ever had women compliment me and never had anyone say anything bad. I’ve even breastfed in front of stranger men🤷🏼‍♀️ the breastfeeding shirts make it where you can’t see anything and the baby’s on your nipple so not much is exposed. I’ve seen more boobs at a beach 😁

I pull my shirt up so my boobs are technically covered
I've now been breastfeeding for 16 months so I no longer feel weird about it so I think for some people the weird feeling goes away if that helps

@Nevaeh thanks it does I guess it just that I have size G/H boobs when they are full so there's a little more maneuvering I have to do to get my little one to latch which makes me have to expose more than I'd want but I guess the weird feeling will go away I'll have to get over it haha

I'm sorry, I wish it wasn't made to be such a weird thing to do in public honestly, you're feeding your kid it's a great thing and the kids gotta eat lol

tank top under a baggy shirt works wonders for me. pull my boob out of the top of the tank top and lift up my shirt just enough and the shirt rests on top of baby’s head and you can’t see a thing. i just struggle bc i still have to wear nipple shields 😭

@Samantha that's a good idea I should try that. I'm so sorry to hear about the nipple shields wish I had some advice to help with that
