I just tell them is there a issue, and they walk off. I don't understand why moms find it needed to be rude just because i choose not to use a bottle except at night, because it might be uncomfortable for them.a cover, you see nothing but baby feet anyway usually. I want to get a nursing tank top with a built in bra, but I can't find one that looks comfortable and will fit good.Fun Reviews & Giveaways!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14210134731206271624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-443966914240092525.post-23957324935708642182015-06-22T09:15:11.702-04:002015-06-22T09:15:11.702-04:00I won't use a cover.

I would choke her or spray her in the face if I used a cover. I understand why ppl use covers and respect their decisions just like I respect those who formula feed.

My sons both HATED the covers and threw them off or wouldn't eat while I had them on, and I was not comfortable not using one. I personally chose to go to a private area {they focused better that way anyway} BUT I am all for the mother choosing what she is comfortable with. I would not be any more offended to see an uncovered mother feeding her baby than I would to see a man eating a steak- dinner is dinner.Shell Feishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04478914397917914154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-443966914240092525.post-7567599230842900702015-06-03T12:40:18.743-04:002015-06-03T12:40:18.743-04:00Definitely covered up with a nursing cover.
