I went shopping a few days ago with my DH and our month old DD. She usually sleeps all through trips out and doesn't even wet her nappy till we get back home (I assume she is too comfortable even to soil her nappy as we carry her in a carrier).
On this occasion however, we were out much longer than usual so I took her out of her carrier and she woke so I could change and feed her (just want to mention how unbelievable the mother and baby facilities are at Westfield 
) Well she wouldn't really fall back asleep so for the first time ever, she was awake while we were out and I ended up having to breastfeed her on the train back home.
Most people politely looked away in an effort to seem disinterested and others obviously didn't mind. I cover us with a cloth while I feed anyway as although it makes no difference to me, I know others can feel strange about it (only while out in large public areas though as I am very comfortable breastfeeding usually).
One man however was leering. It was so obvious that my DH noticed so it wasn't me being paranoid. He stood less than a metre away and stared straight in the direction of my chest. I felt disgusted and when it became too much, my DH was going to get up and block his view when thankfully he got off the train. It was such an obvious display that three people sitting in front of us kept looking back and forth to see what was happening.
For some reason I felt sorry for the guy instead of angry and it meant I didn't act on my anger at his behaviour. I imagined him as this loner pervert with no life or friends and though I felt disgusted and angry, it made me not want to act, as if I would humiliate him on the train and it would push him into depression or something else (strange I know).
Was I U not to have acted?
