clothes?
what do you ladies wear to ease BF in public/out and about, i'm hoping if it works out to have lots of skin to skin at home whilst feeding but what can i wear out thats easy, i dont really want to buy a whole new wardrobe if i can help it x

or if your self conscious, try a vest top tucked under your boobs and then lift up your normal top so tummy is covered as is the other boob.
i dont have any specific nursing clothes, generally cos theyre so difficult to find, ple nty of people do maternity clothes, no where does nursing!
wrap style tops are brill, cross over fronts or buttons are my stand bys.
though i do hwear plain ordinary tops that i just lift one side enough, and baby covers any tummy thats on show.
youll find that after the first couple of weeks you dont need skin to skin as muhc, though its still lovely. and feeding is much easier after the first few weeks, enjoy it
I also bought some tunic tops online by Boob (they did them as a vest top, a long or 3/4 sleeve top, and maxi dresses) with a stretchy elasticated panel over the bust which were fantastic: flattering and really comfortable, but they are rather expensive.
Hope you're well PP!

I've only bf once in public so far but aside from some chavvy mums giving me dirty looks it was fine. I lifted my top up & covered with a muslin until I was sure Thomas was on then took the muslin away as it was hot.

To be honest my son was such a frantic feeder as he had reflux and sucking problems so he would constantly latch on and off during a feed, I just had to get used to not caring or even looking around when out in public while feeding, people must have seen the odd bit of flesh on occasion but no one ever said anything and I didn't care anyway once I got used to feeding in public.
