Heya! I’m almost 2 weeks postpartum recovering from a c section. Still not quite ready to go out and about yet but wanted to see how people are getting on with breastfeeding out in public? I have a few events coming up soon and I’m a bit nervous about the feeding and how it’ll go. I am also expressing so don’t know whether to take a few bottles out to make it easier x

I think it’s always the easiest way to breastfeed. If you feel uncomfortable doing it in public, take a little blanket or I always tried to find a spot where I feel comfortable.
But you should never feel bad!! You are just feeding your baby ❤️

Try it in a more low stakes setting like a cafe. My preference is to wear a loose/ flowy top so if little one rolls off I’m easily covered again. She also been a bit distracted lately so I’ve taken to draping a long burp cloth over my shoulder and over the top of her head to keep her focused 😅

Best advice - before you go out for the first time. Sit in front of a mirror and breastfeed.
Then you can see what it looks like.
It’s easier to just put baby on the breast than it is to take out expressed milk.
I’m EBF second time round. I wear a lot of shirts that I can unbutton and access easily.
