Nursing in public is not a big deal to some moms, but I was raised ultra-conservative and just can't bring myself to do it in front of folks.
Cover up? Neither of my girls were having it. Cover up = kicking and screaming.
So with exclusively breastfed babies, I have had to be pretty creative at times to get the job done.
Case in point, yesterday evening, I was at swim lessons for my almost five-year-old at our local university. I had Madeline in tow and she was hungry. So I got creative. I found this handicap shower stall. It was perfect. I swear a choir of angels began to sing when I spied it. It met all of my requirements: seating and privacy.
I would also recommend keeping a Boppy in your car. Dressing rooms in malls and shops are awesome too!
Until all public places become as innovative as one of our nearby malls, Opry Mills, where they provide a nursing room for moms, I will continue to seek out creative private seating options.
