BREASTFEEDING IN PUBLIC –HELPFUL HINTS By Dr. Sanjay Rao
· Wear clothing that allows easy access to your breasts with as little exposure as possible. · Feed your baby half an hour before his scheduled time. Don’t wait until he is crying in hunger. Screaming babies attract attention. · Try to face a wall or corner while feeding. You can also use a blanket, shawl or magazine to shield you from view. · If people are passing by, look up and smile. This will draw attention away from your breasts. · Look around if there are any garment stores. You can always request the staff to use the trial room. · In departmental stores, malls or offices, tell the person in charge that you’re looking for a place to feed your baby. Most people will move mountains to accommodate you. · Practice feeding your baby in front of a mirror. Once you realize that you’ve perfected feeding without exposure, you will be more comfortable in public.
