I
breast fed, and really had no choice but to do it
in public. It was either that or never leave the house. If there was a nursing room or a mothers room available, that's what I did, but otherwise..you can't ignore a screaming hungry baby. I was discreet about it though. I used a smock (there are literally hundreds of brands of breastfeeding smocks/aprons out there)..I'm a bit too conservative for anything else. I only had someone chastise me about it once or twice...
