Breastfeeding can be done very inconspicuously in the presence of other people. A mother can turn her back to get started nursing and then use a blanket or shawl over the chest and shoulder to conceal the breast. Many onlookers think the mother is cuddling the baby. It is helpful for mothers to practice breastfeeding at home for a while if they feel uncomfortable nursing around others. Nursing in front of a mirror can be reassuring as to how little can be seen.
Many stores have comfortable rooms where mothers can nurse their babies.
A quick stop in a fitting room is also convenient. An adequate supply of milk is available whether the mother has large or small breasts. The size of the breasts depends on the amount of fatty tissue they contain. The more frequently the mother nurses, the more milk is produced. Milk is produced in the glands in the back of breast and is then carried to the nipple by the milk ducts.
