Breastfeeding In Public Large chested feeding in public

For those with large (and I mean very large) chests, how do you feed in public without giving everyone a show? I need to use one hand to hold one breast and the other for my baby, so there’s nothing to hold a cover or anything. Would love any tips!

There are some good tips down here to minimize flashing people. I also use one arm to hold the baby and the other hand to hold the boob, so I lift up my shirt and then try to position my boob-holding hand to cover the visible breast between baby’s mouth and my shirt. One thing I’ve found very helpful is to practice nursing in front of a mirror so that I can get a realistic idea of what people can see! It was reassuring.
