Nursing in Public

It is legal in NYS (as well as many other states) to breastfeed in public - The law specifically states "a mother may breast feed her baby in any location, public or private, where the mother is otherwise authorized to be". Now, some people choose to cover up while they're doing this - others chose not to cover up.

I have a coverup - but we're still learning how to use it. I still need 2 hands to feed Laura with and she swats at the cover so most of the time we're uncovered even if we're trying to stay covered.

Where am I going with this, you ask?

I found the perfect solution to nursing in public if we're at the mall... use the dressing rooms! Laura and I went to do a little shopping today and we left home at 10:30 and didn't get home until almost 5pm. We were able to take a feeding and diaper change break at both Target and Sears by utilizing thier changing rooms :) SO much easier than trying to cover up while sitting in the food court or going to the car to feed her!
