Descriptions of the ‘activity’ illustrated contrasting beliefs amongst the participants around whether breastfeeding should occur in public at all. Comments ranged from ‘yeah I think it’s accepted today… I don’t even give it a second thought when I see someone breastfeeding in public, I think it’s beautiful, I think its fine’ (Fam 9 MGM) to ‘I think the majority of pe...

The action of ‘covering up’ was the most common appropriate action identified in the data and was expressed by both women and other participants in the study. For example, I just think I’ll use a muslin wrap for that extra bit of privacy if I am sitting in a public space (Mother Fam 2)’; ‘I covered myself’ (PGM Fam 11) and ‘You have to cover yourse...

Contrasting with putting your boobs away and reinforcing the sense that a woman needs to be discrete and cover her breasts when breastfeeding in public, were comments that highlighted it was ‘inappropriate’ to just get your boobs out. This next excerpt highlights the need to be discrete and again emphasises the woman’s responsibility for others com...
