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 :(

Tama yung ginawa mo na tahimik ka na lang. Pero it's so wrong to call breastfeeders as squatters. Gatas ang ikinabubuhay ng anak mo so bat ka mahihiya? Parang ganito lang yan e, basurero hanap buhay nung tao pero hindi mo sya dapat maliitin at sabihing squatter ka kase basurero ka. Mali yoon kase nagttrabahao sya ng marangal at ito ang pang buhay nya sa pamilya nya. Makitid ang utak ng mga taong ganyan ang pananaw. Shame on them.
