I have recently experienced encountering judgemental people about moms breastfeeding "wherever". I was breastfeeding my baby in a bus travelling to Cavite (going to my in-laws) when i overheard some passengers saying "ano ba naman yan, hindi na pumili ng lugar". Though upset, I kept calm and quiet as I do not want my baby to feel the rage of emotion inside me. Has anyone experience the same thing? How did you deal with it?

I feel you, Mommy :( I experienced this many times before both with my first and my second and It felt really awful.. With my first- As a first time mommy, I felt really bad and asked for my mom if I could breasteed in the car instead. I looked away from the person who was looking at me in disgust as I breastfeed my infant. The other time that it happened was when I was breastfeeding inside a restaurant. We were having lunch and my baby is already catching too much attention from crying loudly. An insensitive aged woman was giving me a stare and saying very rude things. I was about to just shrug it off but I displayed my "katarayan" by raising an eyebrow with a glare instead. I think she deserved more than just my facial riposte but I didn't feel like giving a "litanya" that time. I hate how society imposes on us mothers what they think is right and best for everyone else. These kind of poeple know nothing more than just shaming those they are around with to feed their egos. We are not supposed to give up our most important function just so people won't look at us with disagreement :( Let's not give them the pleasure that they so desperately desire from making others feel bad and inferior letting themselves look that they are beyond what we are. We need to educate them in, ofcourse, the MOST polite manner that we can. :p :D
