Here are some tips for discreet breastfeeding that have worked for many Moms. Hopefully they will help you feel more comfortable nursing in public so you can avoid the inconvenience of pumping and preparing bottles.
1) Before you have your baby, attend a breastfeeding support group meeting.

I can't count the times someone approached me in a store and commented on my having no idea that s/he was latched on and nursing! The fabric of the sling can be adjusted to come up over the baby's head (yet most babies don't mind this like they do a blanket), or you can use the extra fabric on the "tail" to cover baby.
3) After your is born, practice nursing in front of a mirror or a friend to perfect your technique.

just a couple of seconds.
4) Nurse at the first signs of hunger.
A nursing generally draws less attention than a screaming one! So latch your on as soon as you notice that s/he is hungry... rooting, sucking on fist, grimacing face, etc. A crying also makes you nervous and you and may take longer to get latched on comfortably.
5) Try turning your body away while you latch on.
If you're sitting at a table in a restaurant, simply turn your body away from the table briefly while you latch on, then resume your normal position.
6) Try nursing clothes.
These are designed to cover your belly for more discreet breastfeeding. Or simply wear a thin top under a cardigan or other shirt. You can also make your own nursing top by cutting slits in a tank and wearing it under another shirt. And always pull up your shirt from the bottom instead of unbuttoning from the top to nurse.
7) Bring a book or large purse to set in your lap to camouflage.
Your diaper bag would also work. Set it in front of on your knees while you latch on. Or hold a book so that your baby's head and your breast are out of view.
And lastly...
8) Be confident!
You are doing something that is best for you and and that billions of women all over the world for thousands of years have done. Be proud of yourself and give passersby a warm smile. You'd be surprised how often people will smile back or even approach with a commendation or anecdote about their own children.
Enjoy nursing your baby!
