Yeah, I'm also nervous about breastfeeding in public. I never ever see women doing it! Aside from the BF covers, which I don't really like so much, what kind of tops are you ladies wearing?

I mainly use a muslin wrap as a cover, but I find it very awkward and clumsy feeling, like it's going to come off any second. Also it's harder to get my baby to latch on when I can't see what I'm doing so well!! I tried using a friend's bebe au lait cover and it was AWESOME, I could see the baby without continually adjusting myself, and it was still light and didn't overheat my baby!! So I ordered one for myself, but I haven't got it yet.
For shirts, I have some breastfeeding tops from H&M and some from Australia as well, or I just wear a breastfeeding singlet/tank top with an ordinary top over the top... or a top with buttons... it's a bit of an adjustment though!!

i had a cover that i attempted to use...once... i found it terribly awkward and couldn't ensure the baby was latching properly. not only that, but i felt like i was advertising the fact that i was indeed breastfeeding.
i then decide to umm... screw it.... and i did what i needed to do. i quickly overcame any embarrassment when i was confronted by a screaming, starving baby.
i also decided that if anyone had a problem with me breastfeeding, it was exactly that... THEIR problem. my child was merely having lunch.
i also decided that breastfeeding is providing the best possible start in life for my child and it wasn't like i was doing a stripteeze on top of the tables to announce the fact that i was breastfeeding.
by the time baby #2 came along, i had no worries about it at all, other than where i could find a comfortable place to do it.
good luck!
