Oh wow if anyone told me I couldn't breastfeed on the plane...I can't even imagine what I would say. Luckily I've only had good experiences in the last year. I've flown with my baby 4 times and not once has anyone said anything or even given me a look while breastfeeding.
I remember reading a story a year or so ago where a flight attendant handed a woman's husband a blanket and said 'Give this to her to cover up'. How that happens these days is beyond me.
