    I get the feeling the OP has done a recce of places all ready to go to the Daily Mail if refused somewhere.

    Most of the comments I have received from others have been very, very supportive, things like "it's so nice to see a baby breastfeeding". The ONLY person I have ever come across who was "unsettled" was actually my Father-in-Law who was so embarrassed that I left the room to spare his feelings. And this was in my own home!

    Absolutely agree with all of your post.

    I've found it's mostly family (mine and my husband's) that have been embarrassed/uncomfortable enough by me feeding that they've felt the need to say something. I suppose a stranger would be less likely to say anything, but some members of our family have been embarrassed on their behalf (e.g. "What about the men who might see you?!").

    It was a joke about the Daily Mail - that's where people go complaining to, it seems, and readers of it probably think there are problems with breastfeeding being banned all over the place. I'd never complain about it and pull a sad face for the DM pictures - I've more dignity than that lol :rotfl:
