What No One Tells You About Breastfeeding and Pumping in Public

What No One Tells You About Breastfeeding and Pumping in Public

Breastfeeding and pumping in public can feel overwhelming, especially with the fear of judgment or discomfort. But here’s the truth: you’re not alone, and with the right mindset and tools, you can confidently feed your bubs wherever you go. We asked real Bubka mums to share their experiences, tips, and encouragement to help you navigate feeding on the go.

The Reality of Feeding in Public

Many mums feel hesitant about breastfeeding or pumping outside their homes, whether due to a lack of privacy, societal stigma, or just the logistics of it. But as one Bubka mum, Jess, puts it:

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

Having a wearable breast pump, like Bubka’s Hands-Free Breast Pump, makes the experience much more discreet, giving you the freedom to pump on your terms without being tethered to a wall.

Confidence Boosters for Pumping Mums

If you’re nervous about breastfeeding or pumping in public, these strategies can help boost your confidence:

  • Dress Smart – Opt for clothes designed for easy access, like button-down shirts or nursing tops.

  • Pick a Comfortable Spot – Cafés with cozy corners, nursing lounges, or even your parked car can be great spots.

  • Own It – You’re feeding your baby, and there’s nothing to be ashamed of. Confidence is contagious!

  • Use a Cover (if you want to) – If it makes you feel more comfortable, go for it, but it’s not a necessity.

  • Find Your Support Network – Connect with other breastfeeding mums through online forums or local meet-ups.

Real Mums, Real Tips

Here’s how some Bubka users have embraced pumping in public:

  • “I pump on my commute to work with my Bubka pump under my sweater. No one notices, and I get a session in before my day starts!” – Emily

  • “I used to hide in restrooms, but then I thought—why should I? Now, I pump while chatting with friends at brunch.”– Sarah

  • “The first time was nerve-wracking, but having a hands-free pump made it so much easier. Now, I don’t think twice about it.” – Mia

Reclaiming Your Freedom

Being a mum doesn’t mean you have to stay home to feed your baby. Whether you’re at a café, the park, or even traveling, Bubka’s wearable pumps are designed to help you pump effortlessly, giving you the confidence to be out and about while still providing for your baby.

So next time you’re heading out, remember: you’re doing an amazing job, and you deserve to feel comfortable feeding your baby wherever you are.
