The NASCAR drive is wrong for objecting
Mothers who insist in exposing themselves with little or no regard for those around them display a lack of etiquette to say the least.
Special Clothing
The first thing to remember when you have to breastfeed in public is to wear clothes that lets you breastfeed easily. You can use nursing clothes with buttons, snaps or hooks so as not to expose your breast accidentally while performing other tasks. Use nursing clothes that have flaps or ties in order to avoid embarrassing situations; there is such a wide array of nursing clothes being sold these days. These clothes have become really fashionable as well, so you don't have to look matronly when wearing them. It can also help if you put on a camisole or nursing tank under other clothing.
Other Techniques
If you still don't have appropriate nursing clothes, you can always carry a fashionable blanket or other cover ups which can be draped easily over your shoulder when your baby needs a feeding time. You may also use a stylish baby wrap or sling. You can use these not just to carry infants but also to cover up when there is a need to breastfeed in public. You may also want to bring extra breast feeding supplies at hand wherever you go such as additional blankets, breast milk pads, and burp cloths to save you from any embarrassing situation.
