I would definately recommend getting a nursing cover if you are breastfeeding. I was able to continue breastfeeding when we had friends and family over visiting the baby and felt a lot more comfortable. I haven't breastfed in public yet but would feel confident enough to do so with the cover. I went for the navy colour as I thought it would go with everything and was a bit more subtle than some of the other colours that were available. It is also a really nice size, making it easy to cover yourself completely.
