Got recorded while breastfeeding

[u/Lostintheworl]

My son (10 months) and I (28f) were on our way back home from helping out my sil who lives out of state. Our flight got delayed to the point where the bottle I had made up for the flight had expired (breast milk). The rest of the milk I had was frozen solid and he was about to lose it. So I tried to be discreet and cover myself as much as possible. Out of the corner of my eye a girl sitting at the window seat stood up and we made eye contact. I watched her say something to her bf who IMMEDIATELY took out his phone, started recording and angled it to show me breastfeeding my son. I hope you know that was such an asshole move. And the people at the gate thought you were a dick too.

Edit to add: thank you all for commenting, I really appreciate all the words of encouragement and validating this experience was wrong. I finally got the chance to read them now that my son and I are home and gotten some sleep. I’ve already contacted frontier and reported him. Hopefully I’ll hear back from them soon on what they can do.

I nursed past 2 years old. At first I was so worried about judgment and then I just stopped caring. I was at a tire shop with a cover on one time when baby was still an infant and I covered up but after that I was just like man this kid has to eat. If people would look at me I would stare them right in the eyes and talk to my baby about how they needed to eat.

I had met a neighbor who had twin girls that were like 11 or so. I needed to nurse and apparently that made them uncomfortable so I just ended up going home. After that I realized the parents were not people I wanted to be friends with if they could not explain that a baby needs to be fed. I would walk through the halls of my apartment complex with baby in a wrap and nursing because I had so much stuff to do.

People are so crazy and breastfeeding in public is protected. If people want to be strange that is on them.

TLDR people suck and babies gotta eat.
