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 :(

I can understand from his view point that it is awkward just because it is not a normal sight to see everyday. However, I don't think that it is bad. If I were in your situation, I think I'll do the same and keep my mouth shut. I'll just be more understanding of people who can't understand our situation :)
