Seven tips for breastfeeding in public
the American Academy of
Pediatrics recommends that you
exclusively
Breastfeed for the first six months of your baby's life and in combination with solid food at least until your baby's first birthday
But if you're nervous about breastfeeding in public that could sound like a sentence for staying in the house for your first year of motherhood
Luckily, you don't have to lose your mobility to meet your breastfeeding goals
Here's how you can feed your baby wherever you are without worry
1 know your rights as a breastfeeding mother in most of the United States
You have the right to breastfeed with or without a cover in any public or private place where you have a right to be?
That means that as long as you're not dressing you can breastfeed anywhere that you feel comfortable doing
So people may not harass you about
breastfeeding in public
Many states also protect you from public indecency laws
So even if your breast is briefly exposed because you're breastfeeding. That's okay
Protip need help feeling confident about your rights
look up the law in your state and print it out on a
Wallet-sized card then if anyone questions you you'll have an easy way to educate them without having to argue
to try using layers if you're worried about strangers seeing your breasts or your
Postpartum belly layers are an easy affordable way to feel more comfortable
They'll still give you easy
breastfeeding access
Where a nursing tank under a t-shirt and you can pull the t-shirt up while on hooking the nursing tank to lower it down
The tank will keep your belly in the lower part of your breast covered while the t-shirt works as a cover for the top part
Of your breast you'll only be burying the part your baby is using and your baby will keep that covered
Protip, you can layer up with a regular stretchy tank too if the stretchy enough to pull below your breasts you can
Breastfeed and then recover quickly and easily without having to bother with any hooks
3
Breastfeed in a carrier if you practice baby wearing then a carrier can double as the perfect nursing cover
With a soft structured carrier in the front just loosen the straps to lower your baby enough to reach your breasts
Use the carrier hood to cover yourself on top
you might feel a bit exposed with this method, but the
combination of the carrier and your baby's head probably covers more than you think and
If you're using a fabric based carrier like a wrap or sling you can use the extra fabric to cover any areas
You don't want showing
Protip if you're nervous about how much is showing practice in front of a mirror?
You might discover
You're more covered than you thought
4 use a cover if you want to make sure nothing is visible a breastfeeding cover will do the trick
Many covers are designed with a wire loop to hold them in place so you can see your baby
But no one else can some babies don't like breastfeeding with a blanket over their heads
So if your baby isn't used to a cover be prepared for protests
pro tip if you accidentally leave your cover at home a lighter weight swaddling blanket or shawl will do the trick and
If you just need to cover the top of your breast a burp cloth will work too 5
Start small if you've never breastfed in public before don't head somewhere
Intimidating where you're likely to see lots of strangers instead
Try it first at toddler storytime or at a neighborhood playgroup where there are likely to be many supportive moms around
protip
breastfeeding at kid play areas is a great way to connect with other breastfeeding moms if you meet more
Experienced breastfeeding moms don't hesitate to ask for advice
You also might be able to help less experienced mom with breastfeeding
6
smile at strangers
Even if you feel a little uncomfortable at first people will be less likely to criticize
You're doing if you meet their eyes and smile
It's not a guarantee that no one will make a negative comment
But if you look them in the eye and don't look embarrassed, even if you feel a little embarrassed
They'll be more likely to assume you have a perfect right to do what you're doing
Which you do?
Protip if someone asks you to move to a different location
Assume they are just trying to make sure you're comfortable and not trying to move you out of sight if you don't want to move
Just thank them and say you're comfortable where you are
Seven have your response ready? No matter how prepared you are. It's always possible
You'll encounter someone who thinks you shouldn't breastfeed in public
If you encounter criticism take a deep breath and remind yourself that you have every right to take care of your baby
Then reply calmly with a prepared answer try something like thanks for your concern
But I'm comfortable here and I have a legal right to breastfeed my baby in public protip
education can go a long way many people don't know about breastfeeding laws and
Sometimes just informing them is all it takes if a staff member of a store or restaurant
Asks you to cover up or move ask to talk to a manager and take a moment to educate others
