I hear you on BFing in public when you are young seventh heaven, when I had DS1 I had just turned 19, but admittedly looked much younger. I got shocked stares everywhere I went with him, haha funny now when I look back as I was married at the time and was even married before I conceived DS, so less 'sinful' than I am now LOL. When I was BFing him in the main area of the mother's room, I had two mother's come up to me and ask if he was really mine...this is when he was attached to my breast! I was shocked and didn't answer at first and they stood there over me and kept asking.
I've learned a lot since then and don't take stuff like that anymore from people. I still must look young, I still get asked for ID when I'm buying a scratchie now, and I'm nearly 28!
What's also a bit sad is that in my area now that BFing in public seems very unusal and people stare at me. I take a muslim wrap and drape it over my shoulder so no one can see, but I refuse to feed in those baby rooms that have the bins placed next to the feeding chair...it's just wrong. So I feed him at the shops in the food court, and the other day I had to feed him in maccas (no baby room) and my kids ask me heaps why so many people keep staring at us. I don't look around anymore because it upsets me a bit, but it bothers me that even my kids feel intimidated. I just say to them 'I don't know', not letting them know that BFing in public here for some reason isn't acceptable. It's a rich area here, a lot of stuck up people (we are seaside) so I think that's part of the reason. It's bad when people will finsish their meal deliberately walk right past slowly where we are sitting and glare at me, DP has said something twice now to people who have done that, makes him really annoyed that people act like I am doing something wrong. I mean you can't even see my baby's head, let alone my boob! Dont' know what's wrong with people sometimes.
