You can give them a bottle when you’re out. I did.
I wore a tank top under my shirts so I could pull the tank down & shirt up. No skin showed at all. No one ever knew I was nursing.
Fed in dressing rooms, or in the backseat with the air or heat when needed.
Breastfeed where ever and when ever you need to feed. The public needs to chill out.
I just put a wrap on and went bout my business lol ppl don’t care so long as ur boob isn’t In their faces. I’ve nursed 12 kids wo any issues
Honestly I nursed everywhere. I wore a nursing tank top under my shirt (so the 2 shirt method). Only my 4th was nursed and she was so much younger than the other 3 she had to be portable lol

I don’t get offended when other creators do it it’s natural baby comes first.
They make covers. I put a light blanket over mine.
They have these beautiful slings and shawls so you would never know, but no harm in bottles for on the go just pump and go
I would nurse baby in the car cover with a cloth diaper
It’s your right to feed when where and how you want I only did it a handful of times out in public and I wasnt always covered up the best it’s about what’s comfortable for you and baby
Throw a small blanket over your shoulder. No one even knows what’s happening.
I’m always impressed when I see a mom and baby who are comfortable enough to breastfeed in public.
I don’t ever think women should feel forced to feed a child in a bathroom.
I used to cover us with a receiving blanket and go about our business. Everybody knows babies need to eat.
I pulled my shirt up from the bottom nobody sees anything
Pump and use a bottle when away from home.
Take a blanket maybe to put over your honey?
Just use a cover up your not doing anything or anything 
Breasts are not sexual organs and do not need to be hidden away like something dirty. If it’s hard for you to cover, don’t worry about it. Nobody should make a big deal of it because it’s none of their business.
Through a blanket over your shoulder and the child’s head. It has been done this way for years.
There are discreet breastfeeding slings.
Better question, how do you not breastfeed in public? A good mother is going to feed thier baby when its hungry, public or not

My breastfeeding was in the ‘70’s and I was very discreet. Plus I wanted the time for just me and my baby girl. I was a little selfish during feeding time. I went to quiet room, just us. I never fed her in public. I timed my errands to her schedule. Every 3 hours was her time I loved the bond we built. Was a good time.

As Masetta says. It is easier to do that. No one can complain then.
It depended on the situation. Sometimes in the car but the 2 t-shirt method worked the best for me. It was easy, no one really cared and paid attention to me when I used the 2 shirt method.
Breastfeed in the car.
I breast fed three… anytime, anywhere. I was however, pretty discreet about it. I could uncover, get baby to latch and feed him without anyone knowing it. Now if you have trouble and need your breast exposed while feeding then you may want to do a nursing cover or something when in public.

Just pump and make a bottle.
When I was breastfeeding 50 years ago in public, I pulled my top up from the waist & with baby laying across my lap everything was covered & no one could tell, not even my husband sitting next to me
Pump and bottle feed
Put a blanket over you and baby
Put a blanket over your shoulder and feed the baby
Go the bathroom. Use a cloth and cover your breast
I would go into the dressing room and the commode (
I would in public with a cover over but people would still make a crowd as though they were conversing a STARE sooo uncomfortable weird rude and disrespectful I took the public transportation and it was 2 hour interval so it was a choice I made I didn’t like pumping either because it took all my energy away and I didnt want to on the bus so do what you got to do ! Just know that the world has NOT evolved to k ow that women do breastfeed on demand and we really don’t want your opinion or your creepy eyes watching us or your whispers we are mothers feeding our children. My experience was what I stated it is a job but well worth it because it build your child up.
I just covered with a baby blanket and fed the baby. Works perfectly
Whip it out. I did cover but with a light blanket and a little space for me to be ar to look down and see him.
I just lifted up my shirt and let baby nurse. Baggy shirts make it easy
I pumped a bottle before I went out somewhere. Or used a nursing cover. Some women want to act like using a nursing cover is a big deal because your baby’s covered but it’s not. My son didn’t mind it. It’s easy to use and they’re fine.
I didn’t want to be exposed in public either.

I pack bottles for mine
I wore my tank top that had clips to pull down to expose my breast, and a shift on top. Then I used a cover. So I pulled the top shirt up enough in the back, to be able to pull the tank top down to feed baby, and used the cover. That provided me enough cover all over. Nothing was exposed at all. Did people know I was feeding? Yeah. But literally nothing was showing.
With that being said, many babies refuse to be covered when eating, so this would not work for everyone.
Just take a receiving blanket to throw over your shoulder and “whip it out.” I remember seeing many news moms in public, doing this. Everything is covered.
I just breastfed whenever and wherever I was if she was hungry. I’m not large busted so it was easy with a loose fitting blouse. I was discreet but would never have put up with any BS about feeding my baby in public. My husband was in full support. I did pump and eventually used some formula so he and others could enjoy feeding her, but mostly I was “on tap,” like the lady above joked.
Could. Ever do that in 1967
Use a blanket and a Breast feeding bra
Never did four kids now ten grandkids
You can buy or make a sling the completely covers you the baby is in it and there is a flight draping fabric over it and it actually completely covers your side to if it’s long enough.
Before leaving home, in the car, in a public bathroom or a more quiet place not in the middle of a bunch of people and always used a receiving blanket over my shoulder/baby’s head for simple modesty. I’m against just publicly whipping it out anywhere anytime to feed your baby.
Put a blanket over your shoulder and move to a quiet place
I just covered up and fed my baby. When breastfeeding - NEVER use formula or bottles. You mentioned you feel trapped by breastfeeding…look at it another way…breastfeeding gives you a chance to slow down and rethink your errands.
Do whatever you are comfortable doing. Be prepared for some folks who are bothered by it though…ignore them. If you want to cover, cover, if not and assholes take issue…again ignore them. Baby doesn’t need to eat with a blanket over them anymore than we do unless that is what you want to do.
Same way as in private
Dont, unless you REALLY have to…I personally like privacy…find a place out of the way

Just do it. Feed your baby. Don’t whip your breast all around just feed your child. It’s beautiful.

A lightweight covering blanket should be used just for privacy. 
There are breastfeeding capes you can use to cover yourself. Children shouldn’t have to be fed in a public restroom.
Not sure why anyone feels the need to angry react to this. No need to shame this mom

When I went out I always wore loose, cotton tops that my babies were happy to slip under and nurse. Never had a problem.
In today’s world I would never breastfeed in public even though I think it is the most normal thing a woman can do. Ppl are nuts and there is no telling what they would do. Sad
You pump a few bottles before you leave home! Thats how!
I just do it…screw everyone else…you can always get a breastfeeding shirt…or you can wear a tank top under another shirt and lift up the top shirt and pull down the bottom one. I refuse to not feed my hungry baby because of other peoples issues.
Why would you feel trapped feeding your baby ?? You dont have to bare all they have cloths you can cover up with
Ideally, you would pump and pack bottles. I usually ended up going into a bathroom and breastfeeding.
Stay home and feed the kid. Send the hubby for the groceries.
If your not comfortable breastfeeding in public, I’d say then don’t breastfeed in public so…
just put a baby blanket iver you and baby
Find somewhere private
Just take your tittie out and feed your baby
Whip your tit out and put it in babys mouth…
For women to answer only!
Yea for you smart ladies, I applaud you
Put the breast in the babies mouth…Duh! Fatties cover up…

I learned how to tuck baby just under edge of my shirt after pulling it up to allow them to feed. My Bob never showed and baby blocked my best tummy from being seen as well so most never knew I was feeding. It takes practice at home but that way you’re not having to carry extra stuff. And if I couldn’t just sit down to feed I always had bottle on hand that I pumped to fill.

I breastfeed in my car only once did I have to nurse In public and I was at the dmv so I couldn’t go to my car I made sure everything was covered and babe went to town eating no one said anything
Definitely restricted where I could go or how long I could be out, but where I could, I would breast feed in the back of my car, as I have tinted rear windows, and then go out after that. If in other peoples houses I would ask to use an empty room
Feed baby before i leave… Of I’m in and out of stores intake cues from babes and if she’s hungry I’ll quickly feed her in the car as it’s less distracting. Most places are accommodating… Cabela’s even gave me my own room to feed her when it was too busy for me to just walk n feed 
I do the 2 shirt method… I wear a tank top under my shirt so the boob comes out over the tank top, then my 2nd shirt covers most of my boob… I just expose the nipple.

If wherever I was didn’t have a nursing room I’d nurse in my car. When we were going out to eat I’d pack a bottle so we could all enjoy our food.
I fed my baby where ever and when ever he is hungry. I bought nursing tops on Amazon that are amazing. The open and cover as the same time. I nurse in the store in my car doesn’t matter. My baby is hungry and I’m gonna feed him. I dare someone to say something to me. I’ve gotten eye rolls before. But you’d be surprised at how many people actually aren’t bothered by it. Let alone how many will congratulate you for doing good.
Just remember you are protected in most states by law to feed ur child.

I used to be uncomfortable but then when your baby is hungry and life is happening - you just do it! I carried a nursing cover in my diaper bag and always wore nursing bras and tops 
If someone says something to you while breastfeeding - look them in the eye and tell them to pound sand!
Lift your top instead of pulling it down. Then your top covers the top of your breast while baby feeds and baby covers everything below that
I was feeding here but you can’t see anything

In the car, or pump in the car and bottle feed, family restroom, use one of those car seat covers as full coverage nursing cover, I’ve even had to hide in back corners of stores.
I’ve never been publicly shamed for it by strangers but I have had family members who were “less than enthusiastic” so to speak
If this helps …
. Use a large bib.
Xtr large if you prefer. This way you are covered . . When done you put back . A little velcrow could be useful .
I used the 2 shirt method and it worked for me. Kept me covered for the most part and my daughter didn’t have to be covered.
Tuck the blanket in your bra feed why baby is under it can’t see anything this is what I used to do
With light baby blanket
I breastfed all 4 of my kids, the youngest until he was just about 5. There are plenty of ways to nurse discreetly and if anyone has a staring problem, stand your ground. You are nourishing another life.
Let me ask you this: do you smother your baby with a blanket at home? No… You most likely look at your little one while they eat. So why suffocate them just so other people aren’t uncomfortable? As for modesty… there are several nursing wraps/shawls on the market or even in thrift stores if you aren’t comfortable in public.
I had nursing shirts. They weren’t the most stylish, but they served their purpose. I fed my babies wherever, whenever.
