Yep - use a blanket, find an out of the way place, don't do it in confined places (metros, buses, planes, etc) and we're good. Don't say the baby's head will cover you.
Can you see anything in these pic? Nope, didnt think so.
Of course you would see the entire woman's boob in the first pic if the baby were feeding and moving around. Why? How hard is it to cover up? Oh that's right babies just hate blankets (not true).

My daughters ARE feeding in both of those pics.
I didnt use a cover or a blanket because like above, you cant see anything. I can even post more of the wiggly baby/toddler stage if youd like?

Some babies don't mind blankets, others fuss about them. Our first baby used to wave his little fist around while he nursed. Second one didn't like blankets at all, wanted to stare up in my eyes while she nursed. ...
What difference does it make? If you don't want to see a woman breastfeeding, look away.

You guys are really silly. It's not that hard to feed your baby and to also show some courtesy to those around you. Millions of women manage to do it every day. If for some reason, that's beyond your abilities, so be it .. I'm just happy most women aren't like you.

If that wasn't a still photograph and were instead a video, you would be fully exposed as the baby's head moved around. I take it you have no issue with this ... good for you ... but the polite thing to do would be to cover yourself in some way. I'm sure if you tried "real" hard you could find some method of covering yourself and still keeping your daughter happy as she fed. I get that you apparently have no motivation to do so.

No that was pretty much every session. I never had flying boobs.
Ill explain it to you so you can understand:
1) Baby is crying to be fed or showing signs.
2) You are wearing a nursing tank under your shirt so you unclip your bra and tank while holding baby in cradle position
3). You lay babys head as close to your breast as possible and then lift the top shirt up for baby to latch on nipple. Your belly is covered by under shirt and top of boob can/is covered by upper shirt.
4) feed baby.
Not everyone wears a tank under, i didnt always. Not everyone covers the top with their top shirt...sometimes i did, sometimes i didnt. Of course different babies feed different ways and maybe some babies like hanging upside down and you have to show a slip of the nipple... not the end of the world for the 2 seconds it happens. Now if it was the entire session, then youre not really feeding a baby anyway, they are just playing, which also happens. On, off, on, off. Try again later.

I can't speak for Waldo Kitty, but I didn't read it as fat shaming. I read her post as an accurate description of a very unpleasant experience some rude heffer foisted upon her. If Waldo would have politely pointed out her right to not be subjected to a gross display of public indecency, I'm sure the lady would have taken to Facebook to try to stir up some outrage as this Virginian mom did.
Heffer (sic) ?

This is why I can't stand the term "common sense".

No, it's not dramatic. It's the truth. And again making a mockery of the term "common sense".
