But really, it is pathetic that people become offended by something that is natural.

Is it? Because taking a piss, a dump and having sex is also natural. We get upset with people if they do those things i]at their table in a restaurant (well, most of us, anyway ). It’s also natural for a teenaged boy to be fascinated by breasts, so when they start ogling the breastfeeding mom at the restaurant, will anyone get pissy about that?

FTR, I’m not comparing breastfeed to those things, only pointing out that the “it’s natural” defense doesn’t hold water. There is a place for decorum and part of the reason is that other people have differing sensibilities regarding these sorts of things.

The way you handled the situation sounds perfect, it was the way my kids were breast fed in public as well.
