I would talk to their mother about how she feels about it (out of respect). I’m all for woman breastfeeding their child, even in public. Do you think or ancestors cared? For all of you saying no, grow up! This isn’t a sexual act, it’s natural and should be normalized. I’m sure they have seen worse in a movie, a magazine, a commercial ad, video games, etc.

I would just talk to their mom about the situation. Tell her you will be breastfeeding your baby & see how she feels most comfortable to explain it to her children. As far as “covering up”, no. It’s your & babies full time home. I personally don’t like eating under a blanket & baby wouldn’t either. You could take the baby to the nursery to feed when they’re there, if their mom feels uncomfortable with the idea, which I highly doubt but you never know.

Yes, nothing wrong with it.

I would ask their mom what she thinks. To avoid any unneeded issues. If your pumping you can do that in your room. And if they are only semi part
Time then I’d be descrete about it since of the age. No offence but they may react different than you might hope. Although if you talk to the mom she might agree that it’s part of having a baby and talk
To them before. Then you have to decide whAt your
Comfortable with yourself. Will it Bother you if they stand there and stare? Hugs. Hugs.
You are mostly covered by baby i would try not to let them see your boob but not worry too much i would just say you feed your baby mommy milk and that should be enough you could ask them to try to not be close when you are feeding because it distracts the baby
Cover up if you feel the need but I also think it’s good for kids to see the natural way. I breastfed 2 babies in front of my two other kids and my sister feeds her baby in front of mine and her kids. It’s all natural and they dont even seem to notice half the time.
I felt way more exposed while pumping since the part that pumps is clear and you can see everything! I usually pumped when no one was around or pulled my shirt down to cover them. While breastfeeding baby I let them latch and pulled my shirt down just far enough to cover my breast. That was all about my comfort and the comfort of those I knew would be uncomfortable, such as my dad and father in law, who are both very prudish. My dad would only come out of his room fully dressed or with sweats under his robe growing up. 
He was shy!

My step daughter is 10. My first 2 i always covered but now im like what the hell its natural nothing to be ashamed of
Feed your baby. You can’t be expected to go into a different room every time baby is hungry, especially if no one else is there at the time to watch the other kids. The 8 and 5 year olds are your kids to now, so just teach them that that is how some newborns eat.
Eh, just feed the baby.
Maybe. Check with their parents, but it is very natural and it’s their sibling. Maybe pump in privacy, let them participate in feeding the baby with your pumped milk.
Feed that baby, if they ask questions you answer, if you choose you can be open with their mother but she’s a mom as well so she should know fed is best

I’ll be honest. I have a 6 year old son. And I have 2 bonus daughters, ages 6 and 13. I had twins last year and I nursed and pumped when and wherever I needed to. Before the babies were born I had a talk with the kids about nursing and what that means and looks like. We talked about nipples and how they would probably be seeing mine since I was tandem nursing and it’s hard to be discreet. When they time came, they saw my nipples more than even I would probably like, but 
. I think education and communication is key. Congrats momma!

Absolutely feed your baby in front of them. Have a talk with their mom let her know you are going to be breastfeeding and tell her she may want to explain it to her children. It is natural and you should not have to hide or cover yourself in your own home to feed your child.

I breast-fed my youngest son in front of my 17-year-old son breast-feeding is natural normal and there’s no reason it can’t be done in front of anyone

You can step out of the room or cover up. I wouldn’t do that in front of them maybe if they were younger.
Personally, I find nothing wrong with it. When I had my youngest, my odest was 8 and I was just like “this is why we have them.” And I would just let her know if I was going to feed or pump so she could steer clear if it made her uncomfortable.
But since there are multiple parents involved her, definitely talk to their other mom about her feelings on it just to avoid unnecessary drama.

Just ask their mom. If she doesn’t want them to see you breastfeed then just do it in your room with the door shut. That way it doesn’t cause an issue.

Thank you so much Dr robbinson for making my ex boyfriend come back to me. I am writing this wonderful testimony in respect of this man. He made all my wishes come true. My boyfriend and i dated for more than 3 years and although we had so many quarrels but we never thought of a break up. One day, he called me over the phone telling me how he is tired of the relationship and cannot see anywhere that we are heading to. Months have passed and my boyfriend did not contact me anymore and i did not hear from him anymore and his cell phone was disconnected. I knew i need to seek for help because of the so much love i have for her. I contacted this great spell caster because i have never contacted anyone before and i tell you that after a week of contact, my ex boyfriend called me and asked to see me and the next morning, he wore a ring on my finger. I am very happy because i am soon going to be a married Boy with the help of this great spell caster. I promised to manifest your works to everyone and please contact this man to help you at Email him drrobbinson73@gmail.com

They make lil like aprons that strap on your neck and cover boobies 
Why wouldn’t it be ok?
My son was 6 1/2 when I had my daughter and I just told him that this was how sister would eat. His response “Cool, just like dogs do it”

Just talk to the bio mom. Tell her you’re having a baby any time now and you plan to breastfeed. Ask her if she wants you to explain or if she wants to, or even if she thinks both of you should talk to the kiddos.
Your house, feed your baby.
If we as mothers are advocating for not covering babies when feeding them in a public place, how can some mothers feel she should cover up in her house just because of kids🤔. Just breastfeed your baby and explain to the kids when they ask.
My daughter will be about 2.5 years old when her half brother arrives. I realize that at that age it’s not a big deal, but I wouldn’t care if her step mom breastfed in front of my daughter at any age. Gotta do what you gotta do!
I breastfed mine in front of my husband son…To be honest I didn’t even think about it at all I just did it, I didn’t think into it, baby is hungry so I fed it! Also he didn’t question it either he wasn’t bothered by it at all.
Also I wouldn’t mind if anyone breastfed in front of my kids as it’s only natural, I wouldn’t expect someone to go and hide to feed their baby
