Just need to vent and get a bit of support as really upset.
Was talking to a new mum at mother and toddler. I have a newborn (and toddler) and she has a six month old. I began feeding, (was discreet but no cover if it matters) and she said breastfeeding makes her cringe and is a bit disgusting and don't I feel like a pervert for putting my boob in a baby boys mouth?
I got up and walked away without a word, and informed organiser.
I know she is ignorant etc, but it has just shaken me up a bit and left me feeling so sad. I was too shocked and upset to speak to her, and felt vulnerable as was feeding at the time.
Why are people so rude and nasty? I don't get why other mums deliberately upset and judge each other just because they do something different to them. It's so sad :-(
