We went out yesterday with a relative who said breastfeeding without cover is for "squatters" and prohibited her wife to breastfeed in public. I was breastfeeding my baby the whole day and I was near to fuming then. Out of respect, I ended up mum because he's older than me (he's my uncle). My question is how do you deal with these kinds of people? I want to ask moms and dads opinion. In the eyes of a non-breastfeeder, is it really "awkward" (his term, BTW) to breastfeed a child in public? I am really bothered with his way of thinking until now, to be honest :(

Sorry i think your uncle is just being difficult for nothing. Breastfeeding or not in public is your choice, your body and your child. You are doing it to feed it, and if you really feel it's awkward then express and keep it.
