Comments about breastfeeding in public

[pip2jays]

I feed whenever and wherever I need to and have never had any comments, just the knowing mother smiles. My usual comments are " is he done?? that was quick " So far with this bub ( number 4 ) I have fed him while reading to the class at school. Standing up in a department store sale while pushing the stoller and buying stuff, many many cafe's and restaurants, P &C meeting, and the most recently on the flight home from Brisbane. I had him latched on and he fell asleep. I figured just leave him there as it was a short flight and I didn't want to mess around with my shirt. the gentleman next to me was well into his 80's and if he noticed or not I'm not sure but he opened all my drinks and packed up my rubbish and opened my food, he was really very sweet. I assume he noticed as he made comment on what nice eyes he had and his own kids had the same colourings, also when the attendant told me I had to sit him up for landing ( he had his belt on around the sling so was belted in ) he interjected and said " I dont think so, he needs his mum ."...LOL It was such a nice flight.
