Not sure if this post belongs here or not. I just got back from U.S.A. Baby. My friend and I went shopping for a baby shower (another friend is having triplets!) It was my first time there and while we were shopping my eight month old started getting fussy so I figured it was time to eat. My friend said there was a feeding room in the back of the store and we could feed our babies there. The feeding room was really nice and clean and quiet. My friend, who formula feeds, had a bottle with her, but she needed to warm it up. I told her maybe a store employee could let her use a microwave (I later learned that was a no no when bottle feeding..never knew that before 
) Anyway, while she was away searching for a way to warm a bottle, my little one just kept on eating and was done by the time she got back. Apparently, the store has no microwave she could use. I found this very terrible and not very friendly considering it is a baby store! By this time her three month old was screaming and kicking and I felt so bad because here my daughter was able to eat and was full and now snoozing and her little one couldn't eat. I then looked at my friend and said "Do you want me to feed her?" She replied "Do you think he would latch on?" I said we could give it a try. So......after a couple of minutes of looking at me like "Hey you are not my mommy and what is this thing you are trying to give me" look the little guy latched on and ate for a couple minutes. We were laughing as another mom walked into the room. We kept chuckling as he was eating and I teased my friend "See, if you would have breast fed, you would have never had this problem." Her son finished (I don't think he liked my milk but was desperate) and I gave him back to her. The mom finally figured out what we were doing and said "You can't nurse that baby! That is contamination and he could get sick!" 
HUH??? Get sick??? From what??? Like I have toxic milk or something??? She said this as she was bottle feeding her son 
! I just got up and said "Too late I already did and you need to be more informed about breastfeeding. I know, I was rude but I could not help it. I told my husband about it and he thought it was weird me feeding another baby but said he was glad I helped out. I just thought that woman was so rude and misinformed about everything. Kinda made me mad.
