I totally can't do it, even with a cover...I'm a wuss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bf-in-public#post-777528 Mon, 13 May 2013 10:23:56 +0000 cascademom 777528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awesome! I breastfed LO in O'Hare airport. LO's not fond of the cover, so he kicked it off. It made a fellow traveler laugh about how silly he is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bf-in-public#post-777497 Mon, 13 May 2013 10:16:20 +0000 googly-eyes 777497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: I never thought of that! I guess because honestly I've only seen people out with covers that there would be a lot of stares without one in a crowded place. Messing around with nursing covers in the summer sounds like a pita. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bf-in-public#post-777060 Mon, 13 May 2013 03:14:30 +0000 cheert16 777060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: my DH is the same way!!! Although I get so nervous, I don't think I could do it either!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bf-in-public#post-777058 Mon, 13 May 2013 03:10:26 +0000 aprk 777058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: the crowd made me feel more "protected" actually, even though I was off to the side. So much to look at other than us, you know? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bf-in-public#post-776990 Sun, 12 May 2013 22:46:44 +0000 googly-eyes 776990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I could do it like in a crowded area at least, but I guess I'll have to wait and see if I bf next time. Do what works, go you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bf-in-public#post-776988 Sun, 12 May 2013 22:45:26 +0000 mrskc 776988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Woohoo! Go you! I've never felt comfortable nursing in public with out a cover. Now it seems even harder to do with the distracted nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bf-in-public#post-776928 Sun, 12 May 2013 21:47:05 +0000 ALV91711 776928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have yet BF at all in public. That is awesome that you did it without a cover!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bf-in-public#post-776926 Sun, 12 May 2013 21:44:15 +0000 78h2o 776926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: my Dh is the same, which is funny because his mom was a LLL consultant &amp; describes herself as "militant" about breastfeeding. Or maybe that is why, lol.</p> <p>I feel like I'm doing something bold when I nurse in public WITH a cover - I can't imagine doing it without (unless w family or girlfriends). You GO girls! I wish I was bolder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bf-in-public#post-776916 Sun, 12 May 2013 21:37:00 +0000 runsyellowlites 776916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go you!!!!</p> <p>There are still a few place I get a bit apprehensive about, but for the most part we NIP whenever/however (I've NEVER seen a bf'ing mom in public here &amp; only know a handful of moms that bf'd at all) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bf-in-public#post-776911 Sun, 12 May 2013 21:34:04 +0000 birdofafeather 776911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done with and without the cover. It depends on who's around and how close quarters I'm in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bf-in-public#post-776460 Sun, 12 May 2013 15:44:05 +0000 aprk 776460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: before the baby got here my husband was definitely wary of me doing it in public, especially without a cover, but now he's all "do what you gotta do!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bf-in-public#post-776434 Sun, 12 May 2013 15:03:58 +0000 Smurfette 776434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nice job!! I have only done with the cover. DH is even uncomfortable with that, wierdo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bf-in-public#post-776428 Sun, 12 May 2013 14:54:31 +0000 Mrs. Twine 776428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Aprk; Yay! It only gets easier (and, if you ask me, more fun!). And most people are so nice and supportive about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bf-in-public#post-776427 Sun, 12 May 2013 14:54:18 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 776427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprk: nice :) i tried to use the cover in the beginning but found it so annoying and so did L, so i finally yanked it off and haven't cared since - unless I'm in a situation where i feel more modest than usual, like when i went for a coffee recently and was sitting at the same table and directly across from a man i didn't know (was one of those long shared tables) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bf-in-public#post-776422 Sun, 12 May 2013 14:50:57 +0000 aprk 776422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurpleUnicorn: this is the first time I've done it ever :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bf-in-public#post-776421 Sun, 12 May 2013 14:49:33 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 776421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>woohoo! i remember the first time i yanked off the cover....relief! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bf-in-public#post-776419 Sun, 12 May 2013 14:47:56 +0000 Kemma 776419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Superwoman! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bf-in-public#post-776418 Sun, 12 May 2013 14:46:33 +0000 aprk 776418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I breastfed Andy in public today, with no cover. I feel so liberated!!! </p>
