I am currently breastfeeding our four week old baby daughter, and should I be out and about and she needs feeding then I simply cover with a muslin cloth.
However, if by the remotest chance I don't happen to have one, I still wouldn't hesitate in trying my best to discretely feed her... I most certainly wouldn't feel bad, awkward or embarrassed in any way whatsoever.
My breasts and those of every other woman have one sole purpose in life, and that is precisely what I am doing with mine as and when my baby requires them.

If i breast feed my hungry baby in public i will make sure i am covered so that no man can stare at my boobs it's shameful that those who do that to a mother who is only trying to feed their hungry baby
What Girls Said
I'm not a mother but I must have my share of the conversation! Breasts produce milk for a reason, people who get uncomfortable seeing a mother feed her baby (especially if she takes care in covering herself) but do not bat an eyelid when women are exposing themselves to showcase their 'adornments' to the world need a reality check. Whilst breasts can be attractive, their purpose is not sexual gratification, it is to ensure that if a woman does become a mother, she is able to provide the best possible sustenance for her baby. People who shame mothers for breastfeeding should hang their heads in shame. I'm not fielding any replies, this matter is closed. Thank you x
Thats part of the reason why i will never breastfeed in public. And its hilarious how some moms expose themselves in public then complain when men stare.
Nah I never feel bad. I just breastfeed my baby and ignore everyone else
No i don’t care, that’s their own problems not mine.
I would think it was immature and rude of him. More of mild annoyance than anything else, its just a boob afterall and its got a baby attached to it.
No not at all.. that is one of the most beautiful thing a mum can do n i do it proudly.. when its my boys' feed time i dont care wht others may think n if they look at me well let them
yes, I'd feel uncomfortable so I'd probably place a thin breathable flap like cover. But it wouldn't stop me from doing what is necessary.
No o never feel bad, I feel normal because baby needs food.
I have even went on fictions where in middle I had to feed baby in front of people.
This isn‘t creepy at all.
It is a privacy of women and women should feed alone in a room
