Hey guys! Welcome back to another episode of Nguyen's world.
Every mom has a different comfort level when it comes to breastfeeding in public. For me,
I was extremely nervous, and it took me some time to build my confidence and get used to
my new routine. If you're a breastfeeding mom, you know that breastfeeding in public
is sometimes unavoidable. So today I'm going to share with you my tips to help you feel
more confident about breastfeeding in public.
Tip # Nurse right before your activities.
(Or as my husband likes to call it, Pre-gaming)
By doing this, you can maximize the amount of time you have while you're out and about,
before your baby's next feeding. I usually nurse in the car when we get to …show more content…
Then offer your breast to her and see if she'll
feed. You want to do this early enough to avoid waiting until your baby is screaming
and crying, which will draw even attention to you. A crying baby is more impatient and
may result in a poor latch or fussiness when feeding. Tip #: Find a spot where you and your baby will feel comfortable and relaxed. If you're
in a restaurant, try sitting in a booth or sit at table that's facing away from people.
If you're out shopping, you can nurse in the fitting room. If you're at the park,
you can breastfeed sitting on a bench. You want to find a place where you can sit comfortably
with support for your back and that has less traffic, to avoid bringing attention to yourself.
Which brings me to my next tip, wear clothes that you can easily nurse in. You don't
even have to buy expensive nursing tops. You can basically just wear anything that opens
up in the front, like a button-down blouse or a top with a stretchy neck.
My favorite is wearing a loose fitting t-shirt
that you can just lift up.
I usually wear a tank top underneath
