That’s what the women tried in the food court at the mall in my hometown. The local homie kids started cat-calling and making comments, even taking pictures with their phones. The mall cops were already on report for “racism” so they couldn’t help. The women retreated to the lactation room.
If by lactation room you mean bathroom, I would never feed an infant in a restroom. OTH, if it is an actual room with comfy chairs, I would choose it first. Food court seats are notoriously not comfortable because they want you to eat and leave.
Homie kids don’t scare me, they all have moms (actually, that’s probably all they have, which is why they are public nuisances) and if they are stupid enough to post my picture on social media, it will be very short work to find their mothers and let them know that their boy needs educated.
Seeing how I had zero problems breastfeeding in public before the internet, I have to wonder if the current issues are a result of ubiquitous internet porn generating excess stupidity about boobs.
