I felt the same way both times. I kind of resented it when friends would make it seem like it's just so much easier to breastfeed in public than have to bring a bottle. Said friends all have small chests! I have a large chest, and when your boob is bigger than the baby's head, you cannot help but flash something.

My tricks (worked especially well on the airplane):

1. Nursing Tank -- if you can get away with no bra (how is this possible?? How do the pads stay in place??), I guess that is even better. The nursing tank makes it so you don't flash any tummy -- a nice feature when you aren't built like Angelina Jolie.

2. Some type of cardigan or button down top -- can be worn open and loose for warm weather! This helped keep anyone from getting any side views.

3. Blanket -- I'd get baby used to this right away. That was my downfall. I didn't even really have to cover his head, just made sort of a fluff around it to make for more privacy.
