Large breasted/Nursing in public ?

I don't know why i have such a hard time?maneuvering?this?! one hand isn't enough to get my huge breast (size I) out of the bra (while the other hand holds ds).?i end up juggling him on my lap while i use both hands to free my breast.

i use an udder cover, which is easier than a blanket (has a wire around the neck so you can kind of see what you're doing), but i still end up so frustrated and ds is screaming his head off...?

please tell me what works for you...?

    seriously- it took a lot of practice, and I still am not great at it.  I also like to make sure I always have a fleece or something to prop him up on, then I can kind of have him in nursing position and finagle.  I have learned which bras and camis I can wear out if I am going to NIP-  certain ones are just not designed for maneuvering.  I also still wear my bella band-  It makes me more comfortable because when I lift my shirt I feel covered, so if my hooter hider slips I am not exposed-  but it doesn't go over my boobs so it is one less thing to have to try to maneuver around

    DS won't nurse with something over his face, so I just pull my boob out.  I'm a 36 G and I don't need two hands to free a breast, but I don't cover myself either.  I wasn't shy about it (I BFed DS 3 days pp while we were out to dinner), but a crying baby always draws more attention than a woman sitting quietly and nursing her baby.

    Oh, but I am almost always wearing a nursing tank instead of a bra.  Dealing with a shirt in public is trickier than just unclicking the strap of a tank.

    I bring my boopy everywhere I go.  I just find it a lot easier.  I stuff it in the basket under the stroller or keep it in the car.

    I wear a tank top underneath my shirt.  Jacob doesn't like being covered much, but I try to throw a blanket over us anyways.  I'm sure there's a second where I flash someone, but oh well.  I'm not all that shy.  I'd rather my son be fed!
