Yes, I'm Breastfeeding. You have a problem with that?

How many times have you breastfed your baby in public and being given 'the look' or some insensitive comments?

Let me share with you 2 experiences I had with my 1st born, Nadia.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Experience No.1
Once I was in a restaurant and at one point Nadia wanted to nurse. As any breastfeeding mama would do, I flipped up my blouse and nursed her, right then and there. You know, if you are proficient & confident enough with breastfeeding, you are able to do it practically unnoticed. I've nursed in busy, crowded trains with no problems many a times.

But at that fateful restaurant, a nice-looking waiter came up to me. I guess he must have figured out what I was doing as he had been giving me curious looks before that. Well, I totally couldn't believe it when he (politely of course) asked if I could nurse my baby in the toilet! I replied, just as politely, that my baby is having her lunch, if he don't mind.

The muddle-head obviously was looking for trouble coz he politely repeated to me that I should go nurse in the toilet, as it was rather clean, nice and quiet. I could not take this nonsense anymore. I said to him, "well since the toilet is so nice, clean and quiet, why don't You have your lunch there? Personally, we prefer it here." I smiled to him... How I just love the look on his face!!!!

My Experience No.2
As usual, I normally just nurse my kid practically anytime, anywhere, so long I make sure I do not expose my breasts to anybody else except the lil one! I was in a shopping mall once and again this time I was approached by a male, for goodness sake... The obviously pea-brained MCP told me not to breastfeed my baby in public as it was very indecent-looking. I looked down, I could only see the back of my baby's head and the rest of her body hugging me, Nothing else. So I looked up at the idiot and said in a rather exaggerated manner, "hmmm...thank you for reminding me that. Look, do you see those bunch of girls over there? Very skimpily dressed. Why don't you remind them instead?" I smiled.

MY husband has no issue with me breastfeeding, so I wonder why is it a problem to perfect strangers... Any idea?
