Hi. It's Alicia here with Expert Village again. And I wanted to share with you guys a few more techniques that I have found that have made breastfeeding in public much easier, convenient and hassle free. So, my first little trick is you start off with a t-shirt or an undershirt. I chose an undershirt that you don't mind snipping and cutting up just for this time. So just make it an accurate cut here, or start the -- start the cut. So kinda put it on, and figure out like where probably your nipple is at and pinch the shirt and just make a little cut. And you just repeat it to the other side. Okay and then for a straighter cut, I mean, you can cut it while it's on you. I don't recommend that. That's hard to do unless you're in front of the mirror. But I think it's much harder to get it accurate and even. So then after you've kind of marked it, take the shirt off and then you're gonna make a slice here. Make about a two inch cut. Try to make it as even as you can. So you have like, two slits -- about like that. Okay? You'll be able to see when you put it on. Have an undergarment like this, you can even cut yourself a few to wear underneath. It makes it much, much easier to breastfeed in public and it also keeps your midriff covered.
