Had mostly positive comments from older women, thankfully. The worst comments were from my own brother who told me it was 'disgusting' to breastfeed on the couch in front of family. I told him he could go to another room if he didn't like it, but I wasn't moving. My mom, who breastfed my brother, backed me up on that one, lol.
