Nursing in public did not go so well . . .

Remember the nursing in public issue? Well, I did it, finally, and it didn't go so well. There are many pervs in Columbus, GA.

I posted about it here.

I'm so sorry you didn't have a good experience. I have never had a bad experience. Maybe because it is just more accepted here?

Sorry it wasn't what you had hoped for...society as a whole is usually accepting of the people who do it tactfully!

Mom comes tomorrow~

TGIF!

You did nothing wrong. It is the gawkers problem not yours.

I HIGHLY recommend a bebe aulait (also known as hooter hiders) nursing covers. My friend makes them and soon will be selling them online (www.insipiredbyjenna.com). I had a really hard time nursing with my first baby, but with this one it's been so easy. The nursing cover completely covers your baby, goes around your neck so it can't fall down, and had boning so you can see your baby. I love it!

Another thing I thought of. It is WAY less obvious that you are nursing, when you do it without a blanket. I don't know if you looked at the photos for the cycle race the boys did. There's a photo of me nursing Zander and you can't see that I am.

So sorry it didn't go well.
I would second Melany on the no-blanket suggestion. Somehow, trying to hide it draws more attention, when usually a shirt provides just the right amount of coverage, and makes people think your baby is just sleeping across you.
