using a blanket is the answer.i managed to nurse my kids discreetly when i had to in public by draping a lightweight blanket over the baby and my breast. of course i weaned them by their first birthday when they could have cows milk.i understand that there is a young mother who designed this sort of apron which is on the market & has a slit for breastfeeding and a flap of fabric attached that lays over the baby so that everything is covered up. a lot of places do not have a separate lounge area in their restrooms so mothers do not have a choice. babies smell food and want to nurse. i don't know how many times i nursed the baby before we went to a restaurant(or ate at home for that matter) and when the food comes the baby starts fussing to nurse. my daughter (our first born)would not take a bottle or a pacifier and believe me, i tried every one on the market. the pediatrician taught her to drink from a cup when she was 4 months old-we held the cup and she drank away.
