Hi in this clip I'm going to show you how to breast feed in public with a nursing shawl.
Now when you're out in public and there's people around and you want to be discreet
while you're nursing the nursing shawl is a great option. The first thing you want to
do is find a comfortable place to sit and your back supported. Make sure the baby's
alignment; the ear, the shoulder, and the hip and then you're going to get out your
nursing privacy prop. The shawl that I'm using today is called the love baby shawl. This
one is really nice because of the nice wide neck and really nicely wide open so you can
see your baby while you are nursing. So you're just going to go ahead and put this over your
head and you're going to cover up your baby with it and cover up your ***. And see
this nice wide opening so you can see right down and see what you're doing. So you're
going to hold it open, release your nursing bra, position the baby properly. Latch the
baby on and you're doing this all under the shawl and nobody can see what is happening.
And then you can just watch your baby while they're feeding on this side. After the baby's
done nursing on the first side you can put your bob back into place, put your shirt back.
Take the baby out, give a quick burp and then you'll nurse on the other side doing the same
thing. So you hold the baby, put the nursing shawl over his or her head, take your bra
down underneath, latch the baby on and then you're free to nurse. And if you're eating
at a restaurant you can go ahead and eat your meal or just sit and watch your baby nurse
until they're done. When the baby's done on this side you can also see the baby and still
be covered up. When they're done you can just take them off, put your bra back in place
all under the nursing shawl, give another quick burp. And once the baby's done eating
you can just take your nursing shawl right off. It folds up really you can just roll
it right up and it comes in a little pouch. I just like putting it directly into the diaper
bag and then you're off.
