In this video, registered nurses and lactation consultants Corky Harvey and Wendy Haldeman offer advice and reassurance about breastfeeding in public. These women project the right attitude (in my opinion) about nursing in public — anywhere (except the public restroom), anytime, with confidence. I especially love their answer to the question: “How do I deal with curious kids when nursing in public?” The one tip I would add about nursing a distractible baby in public is to use a sling!

Another nice and friendly video, very personable, thanks! But there’s a little of an implication that breastfeeding in public is a taboo act unless it is done in accord with unreasonable rules set by others.
Lots of helpful information, though. The answer about kids’ questions is priceless! The following couple of questions ditto.
I have found the nursing covers/shawls are great for when you need to feed but want to cover up a little. I hated blankets because they made me sweat and my babies too. I borrowed one from a friend and studied it to figure out how to make it. Then I made a bunch and now sell them. I also find it beneficial when my children got to the nosy state and wanted to look around.
