bfing moms...lets make a post of where you bf while you are out.....

I know there are lot of places, but some are better than others....I figured it might be helpful to create a thread....

I haven't done it anywhere at Smithhaven (prob b/c its our closest mall!) but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the mother's rooms in Nordstrom in Roosevelt Field. Maternity Works in the Source is also somewhat nice....the workers have always been so sweet when i go in....the source also has a family room by the food court but I feel it would be more rushed to try there (I haven't yet!)

I also have bf in a few fitting rooms Chat Icon too.....and of course bru (I like the commack and westbury ones better than the Holbrook one) and my car (we have tinted back windows and its an suv so you are up high and no one can really see!) I have seen a sign for bbb's family/mother's room but it didn't seem that nice.....

please post where else you have bf while out!!!

Hmmm... I don't think this is what you were looking for but...

I breastfed at car dealerships in the service area waiting room. In the middle of a food court at the mall. At a rest stop on 95. My dentist's office. At a table in Friendly's....

If you are wearing the right clothes no one can see what you are doing. People would rather see you discretly nursing than hear a crying baby!

I've nursed so many places. I just won't in public. I don't think it's appropriate. JMO!

I've nursed in many dressing rooms (great place), bathrooms at restaurants(handicapped stall with a chair... yes I bring one in Chat Icon ), in nursing/mothers room, in the car (secluded areas in parking lots), etc. Pretty much anywhere private I can find! Chat Icon

I also did pretty much anywhere in private that I could find, wether it be bathrooms or fitting rooms.

This time around though, I might just do it in public if I have to. If my child is hungry, and if I cover up, I think I can get past the embarassment....

I've BF just about everywhere. Supermarkets, retaurants, malls, etc.
no one can see what I'm doing, so I'll BF anywhere I have to. I would never hide to BF, if I did that I would never get anything done.

At my future place of employmrnt yesterday! Chat Icon
He was hungry and I was visiting so they volunteered to give me a room for a few min. I can't wait until I work there! Hopefully I'll still BF.

I can't bf in public yet...

Any dressing room works for me! who cares about security cameras

I BF Julia everywhere and I didn't have a problem, I didn't mind nursing in public also.

Here is a website for woman who maybe a little shy to BF in public!

I wear regular shirts. I wear a tank top underneath my sweaters so my stomach won't show.

Glamourmom nursing tanks are awesome! I have four different colors and match them to what I am wearing. They make being discreet really easy.

Hooter Hiders



I have a hooter hider and I used it a few times but I found it drew more attention and it was a little awkward.
But it came in handy on the airplane!
I didn't BF in public very much, just dressing rooms, buybuybaby, occassionally a bathroom in a pinch...
