I now whip it out ...well I mean...I quickly put baby on the boob so nobody can see my nipple, I guess I am lucky because I have small boobs. I have no idea whether I would have stared at the woman with the pillow but I don't think you are being judgy, I think it's just the way society has made us feel about breastfeeding.

I breastfed in public (I'm still breastfeeding, but only in the morning and night), but I tended to stick to quiet corners - not because I was embarrassed, but because my daughter would get distracted if there was too much activity. That being said, if she really needed a feed, I'd have no problem whipping out my boobs wherever - a baby's got to eat! #stayclassymamaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624621497461553766.post-9440187174221224222016-06-16T01:51:52.720-07:002016-06-16T01:51:52.720-07:00This debate will long go on I think.

I breastfed my second baby for 9 months and although it terrified me in public at first, I was determined as it didn't work out with my first.<br /><br />My personal opinion is that there is a balance, you shouldn't have to hide away at all but then just getting your full boob out in public is not necessary either. Not because I'm a prude, for me it was just not physically necessary in order to feed and I don't have small boobs (well actually now I do, they shrank away ha ha!) All i ever used was a muslin cloth to cover my boob, not babies head. (the capes quickly become useless). I did consider my surroundings and other people when feeding, it did not stop me feeding but it meant I might change the direction I was sitting for example and I always used a muslin over my shoulder. End of the day I'm just not comfortable showing my boobs to people I don't know and having to feed a baby did not change that.<br />Feed where you feel comfortable, it's important for you and baby, oh and obviously somewhere near cake and tea!
