Breastfeeding has been going extremely well this go round with Baby #2… The only complaint I have is that she eats A LOT, She’s always hungry and I find myself popping out my boobs more than I would like… However, Everything is going very well and I am Thankful for that b/c I wasn’t able to exclusively breastfeed Madison as I hoped and I was in a lot of pain due to the sore nipples. I gave it up after 3 months. So, I nursed in public on Saturday night when we took Madison to Chuckie Cheese. I came back from playing with Maddie and the hubby was like “homegirl is hungry what are you going to do?” I brought some similac someone had given me b/c I didn’t have enough to pump. I knew it would be hard to give her similac because she is an exclusively breastfeed baby and like I expected she spit it out and wouldn’t take it…. So, I was like forget it! I’m not going to let my child suffer b/c I’m afraid someone is going to call the cops on me b/c I popped my boob out to feed my baby so I got my nursing cover and fed her. I got a few stares but who cares it didn’t take long and mommy & baby were happy! I’m not going to lie, I was afraid to do it… I heard it was against the law, etc. I think I might start doing it more often instead of frustrating myself trying to find somewhere to feed her and all that jazz. She hates doesn’t like a bottle so a girls got to do what a girls got to do. My goal is to stop exclusively nursing her at 6 months but I think my little fat mama has some other plans.

You used a nursing cover, so I don't see why there would be a problem with it! I live in Ga too and I have seen people pull out their boobs and show everyone everything while i was waiting on them. You did it in a way that I think was respectful to everyone. If someone was bothered by it then they shouldn't be going out to eat in public anyways. Just my opnion. 🙂

Thanks Tiffany! That was my first time actually doing it so my nerves kicked in but I will definitely be pulling out my nursing cover when I have nowhere else to nurse her…
