- Stay Calm: It’s important to stay calm and confident in your right to breastfeed.
- Know Your Rights: Being aware of the laws protecting breastfeeding in public can help you feel more secure.
- Respond Politely: If you feel comfortable, you can politely inform the person that you are within legal rights to breastfeed.
- Seek Support: If you’re uncomfortable, find a supportive space or leave the area if it makes you feel better. Remember, your baby’s needs come first, and you have the right to feed them wherever you are.
