to think my 'friend' should not call me a cow? Or am I being silly?

[lovetomoan]

Meet friend and we both have babies. She FF and I EBF, she said I am a cow because I EBF. I just smiled and said: well, I have always been a cow (tried to make it like a joke and not a big deal).

Then we went for lunch and my baby was hungry, so I proceeded to BF in the restaurant.
She said I should cover myself. I said no, my baby needs to eat.

She said other people might not like to see me BF. I said BF is natural (she was getting on my nerves by that point).

She said even if it's natural, some people do not like to see it (I think she did not want to see me BF). I said, well, then those people can sod off

Should I still see said friend? I don't really care about what people feed their babies and keep my opinions to myself but I am thinking, maybe this is the time to drop a friend.

She also gave her baby a slice of lime (to see the face baby makes when tasting it) and chilly sauce. I kept my mouth shout even when I think you do not do that to a 9 month old baby.

Bartlet - I totally agree. In many cultures where food is spicier than it is here chilli is added to baby's food from weaning. It's perfectly fine to give chilli to babies just not in massive amounts. A little taste of chilli sauce on mum's little finger is fine in my opinion, as is lime. My children actually love lemon and just put a whole slice in their mouths and suck.
