Breastfeeding in public

 
Some moms feel uncomfortable breastfeeding their babies in public, but take heart from the fact that you are doing the best for your baby, and follow these tips...

 
Breastfeeding tips

Wear the right clothes: A two-piece outfit is best, as you can just lift up or unbutton the top. A jacket or over-shirt can be used as a "screen" to hide your breast and baby. There are also special maternity T-shirts available.

Feed in a sling: A cloth one that goes over your shoulders shields your baby from view.

Use a blanket: What would we do without receiving blankets? One of their many uses is to drape discreetly over your shoulder and your baby. Just make sure that your baby doesn't get too hot, and that he can breathe freely.

Hurry up: Feed your baby as soon as he starts niggling for food, or you'll soon have a screamer on your hands, which is bound to attract even more attention.

Find a place: If you are not in a place that has a special breastfeeding room, find a private place like the change room of a shop, or the corner of a restaurant, with your back to the room.

Persevere: Breastfeeding becomes second nature after a while and you can latch a hungry baby in seconds. Also, your baby can go longer without a feed, so you may be able to get round your errands without having to feed your baby.

  • Remember, it's your right to breastfeed your baby – and your baby's right to be fed! So by all means be discreet to minimise any embarrassment, but don't be put off your decision to breastfeed your baby.
