Breastfeeding in public

I gave her a look to ask non-verbally if she was OK and she responded with a thumbs-up. After the conclusion of this experiment, Jessica relayed what the man said and commented that she “would have used the dialog-starter ‘Breastfeeding is natural’, but the man was staring very wildly at her daughter and she did not feel comfortable encouraging conversation with him because he seemed ready for conflict and this frightened her, so she chose to use the phrase ‘If you don’t like…
