re: covering up? (breast feeding)

I have am ebf my 3 month old baby of course feed ur baby but there are ways of covering yourself it's really rude to let it hang all out there. Tbh I didn't like when I took my nephew to mc Donald's and a lady whooped out her boob in front of him and he seen everything . Feed your baby but please be respectful of others.

i wish i would have gotten more comfortable with breast feeding. i let the in laws get to me and my milk supply sucked anyway. so with not ebf i dried up at 18 weeks. next year im going to tell every one to f off and bf till i think we are ready to quite. and do get a nice breezy cover up for the summer i loved mine.

LMAO - it's not like their saying "Here, look at my sexy boobs" jeeze - they are feeding their baby! Sorry feeding babies makes you uncomfortable. Grow up.

So because someone isn't covered means they aren't respectful? I have huge boobs (46f) and my nipples are awkwardly placed my daughter hated a cover so when I had to bf in public there was a lot of boob showing so I could get her latched properly. That's what I had to do to feed her and for her to be comfortable. Breast feeding in public was always hard for me positioning was weird getting my boobs in and out was hard. Glad I never came across someone like you who would of just assumed I was being "disrespectful" when in fact I was doing the best I could.

(I have the same issue, to an extent)

On top of this - do YOU want to eat with a blanket over your head? I'm going to assume not. I am also going to assume you don't want to eat in the bathroom, either. Sure, some babies like being covered, but not all of them and if my baby doesn't want to be covered, I'm not going to simply due to DISRESPECTFUL jerks like you!

You'll get used to it. I got the point where I just don't give a smurf anymore, probably around 3 months. That's a big reason why breastfeeding is awesome - you can do it anywhere, anytime.

I think my proudest moment BFing was at the waffle the house. I was with my mom,grandma and my oldest daughter (who just turned 3) my nursling was 2.5 months old and I was still battling supply issues so missing/skipping a feeding wasn't an option at that time. When we got to breakfast the baby was hungry so i awkwardly fumbled around (keep in mind im also fat so nursing in the boot was not an option. I got a chair put it at the end of the table propped a blanket under my daughters head like a pillow pulled out my boob and fed her. My grandmother took one look at me eyes wide with this look for horror on her face (I was facing the "kitchen" and there were men around. She quickly scolded me like a child told me to "put it away" and go somewhere else (like the bathroom or car) keep in mind this was in AZ and it was close to 90+ degrees outside. I ignored her continued feeding my child. The waitress walks over to take our order gets to me, I ordered my waffle and eggs. She smiles and says I see the baby already has her breakfast, let me know if I can get you anything else and walked away. It was so amazing to have someone just treat it as normal as it is and show my grandma that it wasnt some HUGE deal. I wasnt getting thrown out for having my boob out in public I really was just feeding my child. No matter how I did it.

Aww, thats wonderful! I love it when I see women breastfeeding in public, I think it's very empowering and should never be discouraged! No woman should ever be shamed or told to go somewhere private.

Couldnt agree more. At legoland a woman and I sat right next to each other waiting for our husbands to get off rides with our older children while we sat there nursing me with my huge nursing pillow for comfort and her with her cover. We chatted about kids, life, ect and it was awesome to just sit there and talk while nursing.

I cannot wait to breastfeed this time. My son had a lot of issues (he ended up giving me thrush on my nipples, needless to say it was not pleasant) but this time I am determined and so is my SO.

I had supply issues with my first no education and no support. DH and I were just starting our relationship (we were FWB when I got pregnant) so he wasnt much support on the beastfeeding thing. I had the same issues this time but I was prepared and knew what to do. He was a HUGE help and I would of never done it without him. I made it to 9.5 months this time before I stopped and although we didnt make it to our 1 year goal I feel so much better about making it this far.

I'm really afraid of having supply issues - unfortunately well endowed does not mean well supplied! lol. My SO is huge on breastfeeding, so I think he would try and get me to do it even if I wasn't so determined on my own.

Took me 4 months to be able to EBF but it was a constant worry/struggle. Best of luck determination is half the battle.

Ur stupid babies don't care where they eat and I highly doubt u can't cover yourself long enough to get baby latched . It's not everyone's business to see ur nipple. I don't take my baby to the bathroom to feed her but I'm sure she wouldn't care if I did
