Never, ever in a toilet! Imagine asking an adult or a bottlefed baby to have their dinner in the toilet! We don’t think breastfeeding is something you need to hide, but it’s important that you do whatever makes you feel comfortable. Here’s some tips.
Time and place
- Try and get settled somewhere before your baby gets hungry. If they start crying they might draw more attention to you.
- In cafés, get a seat that is out of the way. If you have to keep moving your chair, it might upset the baby’s feed.
Breastfeeding friendly places
- Larger shops are starting to offer mum and baby rooms for breastfeeding.
Find a quiet spot
- Many young women feel better if they can find somewhere out of the way.
- Fitting rooms are good.
- In a café you can sit with your back to the room.
- Some people even nip out to the car for 10 minutes.

I Breastfeed 7 Month Old Son Wherever I Am. At First I Was Nervous And Always Paranoid But Now I Feel Like A Pro. Hehe! I Like Werain Blouses With A Little Vest Underneath So I Can Pull The Vest Up N Undoe A Couple Buttons At The Top Of My Blouse. Works Really Well. I Love Breastfeeding Because Its Easy Simple And The Best For Me Na Ma Precious Baby Boy! x

I breastfed both of my sons, now 24 & 22, ( My oldest Jack, is Laura Heeleys partner) I found that if you wear something that can be pulled up, rather than down, you stay well covered up, & nothing shows. As you get used to it, you become more confidant & I managed to breastfeed for 10 months, with both of them. They are now big strong strapping lads, who rarely suffer illnesses, as they have all my immunities, which is another good reason for doing it,

Feed your baby every where you want,you don’t have to shy, because you are doing the most natural thing in the world and if some people didn’t understand that it is their problem, not yours. It’s true in some shops are breastfeeding rooms, but in my town they are horrible. I prefer to feed my baby outside and feel free with that!
