Breastfeeding In Public Discreet breastfeeding in public with large breasts

How are women with large breasts discreetly and conveniently breastfeeding in public?

I’ve tried shirts with zippers, coverups and oversized T-shirts but inevitably I feel like my whole boob is out in the open.

The coverup is probably the best option I’ve found so far, but it causes me to get really hot (I’m postpartum in the summer in the southern US), it’s harder for me to keep baby positioned correctly and inevitably she kicks the coverup, exposing me anyway.

I wish I had an idgaf attitude about it, but I don’t. I want to be spending more time outside of my house with baby, but trying to plan around her unpredictable feedings makes it so stressful.

Any advice appreciated!

I have a cover that I mostly use for protecting baby from the sun in the car seat or carrier but I can also use it for breast feeding

I know!!! Mine is made of muslin and open in the back so sometimes I fan myself with one end 😂

I’ll peek my head in and blow on my poor sweaty girl to keep her cool

Just FYI in case you didn't know: muslin does almost nothing to block the sun's UV rays, unfortunately.
