Poll Results: Nursing in Public
I love seeing your answers to the poll questions! Thank you voters! The next question relates to the upcoming Carnival of Breastfeeding: Gifts for the Nursing Mother, which takes place on Monday December 4. Please vote in the new poll in the sidebar: As a nursing mother, what gift did you love getting or would you love to get?
Here are the results from the last poll: Which best describes how you feel about nursing in public?

Let these results be an inspiration to nursing mothers!

Certainly if the nursing mother herself feels more comfortable using a nursing cover, sling or blanket, that’s fine. Nursing clothing helps too. In my experience though, practice makes perfect and the more a woman breastfeeds in public the easier it becomes. I don’t wear any special nursing clothing, nor do I cover up in any way. Am I letting it “all hang out”? Hardly! My baby covers the majority of my breast, and my shirt covers the rest. Any bit of flesh showing (and why is anyone looking anyway?) is far less than that shown by any number of women in their regular clothing, not to mention the celebrities featured in tabloids like The Sun.
