How to Privately breastfeed/nurse

Nursing a baby is wonderful but it can also be difficult.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• shawl
• patients

1. My oldest sister bought shawls for all the girls in the family the Christmas I was pregnant with my youngest. I didn't think I would ever use mine, it was big (a little ugly too.) So I put it in a drawer to be forgotten.

2. As I started nursing I realized I needed a little privacy. Okay a lot of privacy. I was flying from Maryland to Washington State at the time and I knew people frowned upon watching a women nurse in public. But since I could not afford first class I had to do something.

3. 
    
   shawl

   I grabbed the big shawl my sister gave me and wrapped it around my baby and me. With a few baby safety pins it actually worked out really well. (please see image) It is always a little uncomfortable at first but then it is like second nature....

Tips & Warnings

• baby pins are the big safety pins you can find just about anywhere that sells baby things.
• be careful of the pin
