Nursing in Public
Nursing in Public
Nursing in public can be a challenge for any new mom. Finding the balance between modesty and comfort is key. The first thing to remember is that most states have laws that protect the right of nursing mothers to feed their children in public, so don’t allow yourself to be harassed. Next, you need to decide what you’re comfortable with.
If you are not easily embarrassed, simply putting a blanket behind your baby or allowing your shirt to cover everything but the nipple may be plenty of privacy for you. If more discretion is required, there are nursing covers made specifically for nursing that hook around your neck and allow you to see your baby through a wire edged window at the top.
Wearing a nursing bra tank top makes things much more discreet and easier to manage, as does using a baby sling. Most people will never know you’re nursing if you use one.
Practicing latching baby on in front of a mirror or a friend can help you get your technique down, so that putting baby to breast takes just a moment.
