I have two children, and breastfed both, and I know exactly where Susan is coming from. You can be 100% comfortable with your decision to breastfeed while still not feeling 100% comfortable doing it in every situation.
I had many experiences where people would stare at me when I was nursing my child in public, and my child was well covered by a blanket. It can be one of those things where people know they shouldn't look or pay attention, but they do. I applause Susan for being honest. And if your baby is older and squirms around a lot when nursing, it can be difficult to remain covered or discreet.
