Breastfeeding and pumping in public can feel overwhelming - especially with the fear of judgement or discomfort. But here’s the truth: you’re not alone. With the right mindset and tools, you can confidently feed your baby wherever you go.

We asked real Bubka mums to share their experiences, tips, and encouragement to help you feel more empowered when feeding on the go.

The Reality of Feeding in Public

Many mums feel hesitant to breastfeed or pump outside the home - whether due to lack of privacy, social stigma, or just the logistics of it. But as Bubka mum Jess puts it:

“At first, I was so nervous to pump in public, but I quickly realised most people don’t even notice. And those who do? They usually smile or offer words of encouragement.”

Using a wearable breast pump like the Bubka Hands-Free Breast Pump makes public pumping far more discreet. No cords, no wall sockets - just freedom to pump on your own terms.

Confidence Boosters for Pumping Mums

Feeling unsure? These simple strategies can help you feel more confident feeding in public:

• Dress smart: Choose clothes with easy access like button-down shirts or nursing tops.
• Pick a comfy spot: Cafés with cozy corners, nursing lounges, or even your parked car work well.
• Own it: Feeding your baby is normal and powerful. Confidence is contagious!
• Use a cover (if you want to): If it makes you feel better, go for it - but it's optional.
• Find your village: Connect with other breastfeeding mums online or in local meet-ups.

Real Mums, Real Tips

Here’s how some Bubka users are making public pumping work for them:

• “I pump on my commute to work with my Bubka pump under my sweater. No one notices!” – Emily
• “I used to hide in restrooms, but now I pump while chatting with friends at brunch.” – Sarah
• “The first time was nerve-wracking, but with a hands-free pump, I don’t think twice about it anymore.” – Mia

Reclaiming Your Freedom

Being a mum doesn’t mean staying home to feed your baby. Whether you're at a café, the park or on the go, Bubka’s wearable pumps help you pump effortlessly, so you can live your life while still providing for your little one.

Next time you head out, remember: you’re doing an amazing job. You deserve to feel supported and comfortable feeding your baby wherever you are.
