You really shouldn't feel embarrassed about it. I have been working in restaurants for years now and am used to seeing people feeding, no-one cares. My wee one is 16 weeks now and I really don't care where I feed her. I have often sat in a restaurant eating my lunch at the same time as feeding, although you really do have to be careful not to spill on her!

Hi i can understand how you feel, as I found it really hard to feed in public. I would get really stressed when we when out and was always on edge in case my daughter cried! However as time got on I gained the confidence and its all about how you feel. I did express for some outings, but then I bought some tops that made feeding easier. You just have to remember that you are doing it for baby and its something to be proud off. I bought a few items from here: www.milkbug.co.uk Good luck!

Yeh you can express milk and have a drink - my midwife actually told me one glass of wine wasn't going to harm baby but not something i wanted to risk but if i know i'm going to be drinking then i'll express. Besides once the wee one starts sleeping through the night, once he/she is down you know you have so many hours before they'll need feeding again. x

My son is 24 weeks and I've got a whole list of places I've fed him. I just make sure I'm wearing easy access tops and invested in some muslin squares to cover myself. It's a little tricky while he latches on but once he's feeding I carry on. So far nobody's said anything negative to me, but if they do I will give it just as good! I refuse to feed in toilets, would u eat ur meal in there? Mum and baby rooms are ok, but I generally sit somewhere to have a drink and feed dicretely. Good luck with it, it's really rewarding xx
