I have always done this while BFIP -- I sit up straight and look 
around and make eye contact with people who look my way.  And in over 
9 years of nursing I have never had anyone say anything to me about 
it.  There have been a few raised eyebrows but that is all.

I think that appearing comfortable and confident repels criticism. 
When we talk about nursing in public at LLL meetings I try to make 
this point.  Sit up, look people in the eye, and smile.

who did just that today at Denver's National Mile High Breastfeeding 
Celebration where we broke the state record for most mothers nursing 
simultaneously in one place (I was actually chasing down my 
2-year-old at the moment of the mass latch-on -- he had been nursing 
a minute before though!)
