When I breastfed, I made sure I had a blanket or something with me when we had company, but I had no problem feeding in front of my family without coverup. I actually haven't seen many women breastfeed in public, and I think it's a shame that women feel the need to go to the car or even worse, to a public bathroom. I can't think of a worse place to feed your child when out in public.
My stepsister breastfed until her daughter was about 1 1/2. I was at my dad's house with a friend, and they were playing chess. She was over there at the same time, and as we were all watching the game, she started feeding the child. She had no problem doing it in front of anyone, and my friend was very uncomfortable and ended up getting his butt kicked because he couldn't concentrate. I guess a lot of people are still not comfortable with the natural reason for a womans breasts.
