Mother in law makes me feel awkward about Breast feeding in public

What to say to someone (MIL) who seems embarrassed for other people having to see me breast feed? This was the case with my eldest who I BF for 6.5 months & now with my 4wk old. I have just had a bit of an argument with her & she told me I'm very touchy & she can't say anything. Maybe I was a bit about a couple of other things regarding the baby. I said who cares & it's not like I get my boob out so everyone can see. I'm very careful & would be self conscious
as I don't want everyone seeing my boobs anyway. But when people make a big thing about it then it makes me feel more awkward about wanting to BF in public.

I think what you said was fine. Just carry on regardless as you would normally and she will just have to lump it. (And I say that as someone who chose not to breastfeed!)

It's her with the problem, not you (as you know) so I wouldn't give her the satisfaction of engaging.

What exactly did she say anyway?
