The word “privacy” is used loosely in NYC. Accustomed to zero personal space, you don’t mind breastfeeding in public — you just wish there was more than 3 inches between your hungry infant and the table of four to your left (as do they).
For optimal discretion, the Lila Bean nursing cover protects you from flashing a stranger and cocoons a baby from the hoi polloi, but allows you to maintain eye contact. Fabrics named after your favorite nabes (Clinton Hill floral, Soho swirls) are designed — by a Brooklyn mom, nonetheless — to fold into a carrying pouch, and double as a cover for a front carrier, car seat or stroller.
Do not disturb.

I have GLAMOURMOM tanks that makes nursing very discreet. They are perfect for layering and make nursing in public so EASY. I just ordered a few more at http://www.glamourmom.com because they are having a promotion and tops/tanks are reduced to $24 each. THATS AMAZING! I LOVE these tops!
