Breast Feeding in Public

Breast-feeding is public places can be embarrassing for a mother.

Breast feed in public, wear clothing that allows easy access to breasts with as little exposure as possible.


Don't wait until the baby is frantic and start crying to breast-feed. Crying babies attract attention to both the mother and baby.

Turn away from the public as much as possible. Use a duppatta/scarf, magazine, or another person to avoid public exposure.

Turn the chair to the wall, if necessary to breast-feed the baby.

Breast-Feeding is a gift that the mother gives her baby
