BFing in public.

How do you do it?!

We need to use a nipple shield. At home, I wear tank tops, and pull the one side down, I have a nursing bra, but I feel like he makes more of a mess w/that.

I just don't get how to BF in public without really exposing myself. Just use a blanket? It's hard cause he sometimes pulls the shield off and we need to readjust.

ajsdlajs GAH!

I used to just pull my boob out. My kids hated being covered. My youngest would just move his arms around until he got the blanket off.

it's just a pain with the shield... i feel like i'd have my boob out exposing myself for quite some time lol.

I used a nursing cover (like a blanket with the adjustable strap around the neck)

I had to use a shield too, With practice you get better.

I wear a tank top underneath my shirt. Then I pull the tank down and the shirt up and pull out the boob. Some skin is exposed but when he's latched on no one can see anything.

In the summer I did the same thing. Tight tank top under loose one.

I wear a tank under my t-shirts, pull the t-shirt up, the tank down & Ry latches. The t-shirt covers my top half & the tank & Ry cover all the rest. I don't bother with a blanket or cover because Ryleigh hates them. At first, I was really weird about even doing it that way, but she's almost a year now & I just don't care. haha.

Use a nursing cover that has some boning in it to hold the top open for you look in and see...and hooks around your neck.

I had to use a shield too, and what a pain! Truth is, in my 2+ years of nursing, I nursed in public twice. Once covered, once I didn't have a choice and found a quiet corner with no cover. If I ever did it again, I'd get a cover.

I never thought I'd care either, but we're going to an Auto Show today and I'm getting a bit nervous lol.

Makes sense, maybe i'll try that. Thanks.

Well baby will cover most of your boob.

Every time I've had to nurse in public, no one even knew what I was doing .. haha They just thought she was sleeping. But I didn't have to use the shield so I'm not much help  

Isn't the sheild to assist with latching? Maybe you could get the Lansinoh latch assistant and not have to use a shield? They sell it at Walmart. As for nursing in public I wear a tank underneath tshirt and then I use a cover.

This! Exactly what I do  

we used a shield for two weeks with my daughter. omg pain in the ass to get on! and then they knock it off...I feel ya.
I just used a cover. it goes around your neck and sticks out a bit so you can see down to the baby/boob. i got mine at target. another brand is utter cover. my target one i cut the "straps" from around the arms and then tied them around my neck.

What is it??
Never heard about it before. I have to use it for the first couple months cause I have flat/inverted nipples.
