I breastfed Andy in public today, with no cover. I feel so liberated!!!
-
Superwoman!
-
woohoo! i remember the first time i yanked off the cover....relief!
-
@PurpleUnicorn: this is the first time I've done it ever
-
@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)
-
@Aprk; Yay! It only gets easier (and, if you ask me, more fun!). And most people are so nice and supportive about it.
-
Nice job!! I have only done with the cover. DH is even uncomfortable with that, wierdo!
-
@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!"
-
I've done with and without the cover. It depends on who's around and how close quarters I'm in!
-
Go you!!!!
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 & only know a handful of moms that bf'd at all)
-
@Smurfette: my Dh is the same, which is funny because his mom was a LLL consultant & describes herself as "militant" about breastfeeding. Or maybe that is why, lol.
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.
-
I have yet BF at all in public. That is awesome that you did it without a cover!!
-
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.
-
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!
-
@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?
-
@Smurfette: my DH is the same way!!! Although I get so nervous, I don't think I could do it either!!
-
@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.
-
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.
-
Way to go! I totally can't do it, even with a cover...I'm a wuss.

Good joB!!!
