I am one of those mothers who sits there breastfeeding, not necessarily in defiance, but in an air of total entitlement. I am entitled to BFed in public, and if you've got something nasty to say about it, honestly you need to take a good long hard look at yourself. That you're that narrow-minded and bitter affects me not one iota.
I have BFed in church, on park benches, while walking down the Hay Street Mall, sitting on an armchair in Myer, at the swiming pool, in people's homes, in front of strangers and will not feel the need to hide it and explain it. I've never fed on the floor at woolies before but I have BFed in Big W once.
If anyone ever commented (and tbh it's only ever happened a few times in my 40 odd months in total of BFing) I just smile serenely at them as if to say 'so what?'
