I used to be the same way and I am a very shy person. I did nurse in private for the first week or so since we were SOOO bad at it. But now I BF anywhere, anytime and it doesn't bother me one bit. It would have been a lot harder to stick with it had I needed to be in private. Now I have small boobies so it makes it easier too. Most people don't know I am even nursing, I have had several people ask to hold her not realizeing I was nursing
Totally agree with this. It took me about a month of nursing in private before I got fed up and now I'll NIP anywhere. If someone else has a problem, don't look or go away. I do use a Hooter Hider so you can't see anythign but I know some people are still uncomfortable. I saw one poster say they'd pump and feed baby a bottle while in public - for me that was not possible because I'd have to pump at the same time baby ate to keep up my supply.

Sorry I had to add a little randomness in this, couldnt resist
