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've been breastfeeding even in public for 4 years now, without cover because my baby doesn't want to be covered while nursing. I ignore these kinds of people but if someone really stares at me badly or if I hear some bad comments, I will absolutely give that person what he wants. There's nothing wrong with what my baby and I are doing, so these people should be given a dose of their own medicine.
