How to handle a letdown spray in public fairly modestly?!

When I breastfeed one side sprays out like a faulty shower head 😆 Often it leaves my 8 week old coughing and writhing needing to burp, but my main issue now I’m going out more is I’m finding it daunting when I need to feed from the left side.

It feels exposing to sit there and catch the spray with a muslin (which is what I do at home) as she normally cries or fusses causing people to look over. It’s also tricker now as it sometimes happens up to three times during a five minute feed, which takes us both off guard and I need to look at my nipple to see if that’s the issue, which feels like anyone around me will see it too. I don’t love the covers I’ve tried as it’s tricker to burp her half way through. Any tricks?!

This did make me laugh but not as much as your editing 😂

You caught that!
