Massively attention seeking BFing problem

Often I read on here that people have no problem BFing in public but then they also say 'oh I am so discrete - noone even knows what I am doing'

However my 4 mo is a bit of an exhibitionist, we have sit ups, milk bubble blowing, sudden attacks of hey wheres the milk panic crying, and out breaks of singing all while feeding.

I do TRY to keep it decent but at the end of the day the babies head is supposed to cover the nipple which it can't if she has just launched herself over my lap and Im struggling to hold on to her let alone rearrange my clothes!

So should I just stay at home with the curtains drawn? Do the BFing laws extend to covering people with boobs hanging out all over the place? A super large poncho maybe? (This would work a little better now winter is approaching I guess - has been too hot to consider until now).

All advice welcome!

LaCiccolina, I just like to spend my days out and about, in town so coffee shops are pretty much the only place I can go to sit down and feed.
I normally do the two tops trick so even when he does pull off I don't have that much on display.
I saw someone expressing with an electric double expresser in a coffee shop once though and since then I've not really cared.
