Can honestly say I've not had one negative comment, weird look (that I know of) or negative attitude thrust my way while BFing either son. I BFd DS1 almost 14 monts tilll he'd decided he'd had enough, and am 9 1/2 months into DS2's BF journey. Probably helps that my sister and I have had our babies together - our youngest and eldest kids are virtually same age and were/are BFd. Plus my mum BFd us - my sister till she was 18 months. Not bad for 1976! So plenty of support in my immediate family. But TBH, I wouldn't give a rats clacker even if someone had something rude to say. Politely, up their bottoms
Apparently I have that 'face' that says "come abuse me!".. I have copped it a few times. First time with Angel at a shopping centre when and old lady and her little old fart husband decided to stand around acting like pork chops trying to make me "go away to the toilets to feed" because I was a "dirty, disgusting sl*t".
Even had a woman abuse me recently with bunny. Most disturbingly, I was already IN the nursing room. Apparently I didn't sit behind the curtain and close it - making me the hell spawn here to oversexualise her toddler son who by having my babies head in front of my breast.
If anything, I think i caused her more trouble over the packet of smarties I gave Haz, that her son was clearly far more interested in.
