Hi all,
When did you get to a point where you could comfortably BF in public?
Almost 7 weeks PP but I'm still having to squash and manoeuvre my breast/nipple to help baby latch. Don't really fancy doing this in public!
Just wondering when it gets to a point that babies can kind of do this on their own with a muslin chucked over their head or something?

From the start, I did use a cover but not to cover the baby but myself as I didn't like the two top method I just wore a low cut top so I could pull it down but that would be exposing too much (for me) so put a blanket over that area (not baby) hope that makes sense!

How do you do that? I use a muslin if I’m wearing a low cut top and I basically tuck it under my arm and hold it across my chest, but wondering if there’s another way.

Tucked into my bra strap so it goes across diagonally. So looks similar to this picture (best example I could find) but I didn't use a carrier just a light blanket/shawl going across so the head is still out
