My daughter hates the wrap and barely eats if we are out all day. That turns into a cranky, hungry baby. I just need to get over MY embarrassment and be confident like you :) Thank you for the visiting me on my blog as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13883258360959477861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790525692098837306.post-5126208846724319212013-05-05T08:27:20.713-07:002013-05-05T08:27:20.713-07:00Good for you!

I feel like having the cover on and him constantly tugging on it and me constantly readjusting actually draws more attention to us then if I just nurse him without one. Added bonus, I feel that the more of us who nurse in public without a cover normalizes it forAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13883258360959477861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790525692098837306.post-58455154165301559902013-05-03T09:36:46.503-07:002013-05-03T09:36:46.503-07:00Haha, I'm totally with you on the before I had...Haha, I'm totally with you on the before I had kids!

I loved breast feeding and it stressed me out doing it in public I almost refused to do it most of the time, I'd just head on out to car and feed her.

Before I had kids I never understood why women didn't cover up but that was just me being uneducated on the subject. Now that I'm a mama myself and have had to nurse in public places (airplanes, airports, restaurants etc.) I completely get it.
