5.) If you are known to leak milk from the other side while you nurse ,and don't have any nursing pads on, my friend taught me to lift up the other side of your shirt while you nurse. Just shift your shirt away from your breast. This way if you do happen to leak the spot won't be directly over your boob and be super obvious while it dries. Instead it will be lower and shifted away. Thanks for this tip, Bal! 

6.) Hang out with friends who support your breastfeeding and understand how it can be overwhelming at first. I had a few great friends who were so cool with helping me find a good spot to nurse Ben when he was just learning to latch. Some were not mamas but they were good friends. 

So, do you have any tips for feeling totally awesome and relaxed while nursing out and about? Did you feel that nursing in public wasn't for you? I am interested! I have nursed hundreds of time out in public in the city and have only ever received kind smiles from the people who have noticed. Have you had other experiences?
