After DD's ped visit this morning we were running erands. I stopped for lunch at Cracker Barrel. Our server was a very sweet older lady who just gushed over my DD.
DD was very content until a few min. after our food came. She melted down a bit and was crying fairly loudly. I tried to latch her on, but she wasn't really being able to settle so I was bouncing her and whispering in her ear which was calming her slowly. During this time an older couple was seated behind me.
When I had DD calmed down, I discreetly latched her and she was nursing with enthusiasm. As I'm latching her I hear a pretty loud, indignant voice behind me say, "Good Lord! That's not something you see every day!" Then quieter mutterings very obviously not complimentary to me. I roll my eyes and ignore.
The server comes bustling up and I'm thinking she's gonna ask me to stop or cover or something, but she just asks if she can get me anything as she fills my drink. Then she smiles down at DD, who is still obviously nursing, but headed towards sleep, and says, "Oh she calmed down enough to eat. She'll be asleep soon huh? You just let me know if you need anything"
Then she went back to check on the table behind me where they're still muttering about me. Still loud and indignant the woman says, "Do you realize she's nursing that baby?" The server says, "Yes, isn't it sweet." and walks away.
