I feel so ashamed of reading some of these comments.
Women should support each other, not shame others.
Breastfeeding is the act of feeding an infant.
It is not attention seeking.
It is a mother taking care of her child.
How you think she should take care of her child is none of your business, especially if it is to accommodate your sensitivities and mentality.
Do you all remember how babies do not have a schedule to eat? If they are hungry, they start screaming.
They do not understand reason - "but, baby, what will people think
a. I am not covered properly and I am exposing myself, making them uncomfortable
b. a pool is not the proper place
c. whatever b.s. reason is to accommodate adults - who are adaptable, vs a baby - not so adaptable.
If babies scream because he/she is hungry, you would also judge the mother and you would also be bothered by the baby's screams. Mothers just cannot win.
If breastfeeding bothers you, do not look.
Remove yourself from the location, giving the mother privacy.
If you eat everywhere (and I have seen people eat and drink in pools), babies should be able to do so too.
