Do you breastfeed in public?

I've heard lots of stories about mums breastfeeding in public and getting funny looks or being told to leave which has led me to feel slightly anxious when breastfeeding in public, even though it's the most natural thing in the world. Just wondered if anyone else feels the same or does it not bother you?

Breastfed both mine in public over 3 years between them. Did not get a single glance or comment from anyone. I was as discreet as I could be but never hesitated to feed if needed to

I’ve recently stopped breastfeeding but I did!!

best one I ever saw was a lady in asda pushing her trolley, with twins firmly latched on who were sat in the trolley. I was in awe. Totally amazing.

How could she lean over and pick anything up without yanking one off?!

Only with my last baby. I wish I'd been brave enough with my first two.
