Understand What to Wear When Breast Feeding
Hi, my name is Alicia and this is Expert Village and today I am going to be giving you some great tips on breast feeding etiquette. My first big tip is really important, what to wear. Now one of my all time favorites is the two piece method, where you wear kind of a tight fitting, almost a tank top underneath and then on top you put a loose fitting shirt. Now what this does is two things to cover you. When you put this on over the top and when you go to breast feed you can pull up on the bottom shirt like this, you pull up, exposing the breast and then when you want to breast feed you just put your baby underneath right here and then the top of your breast is covered and also your midrift area is. Now say that you didn't plan on doing the two top method and you ended up going out without that. You can also do the same method with breast feeding and say that your midrift is exposed you can always take an extra shirt that you have and when you pull up your shirt to expose your breast for the baby you can tie this around your waist to tuck in your tummy.
