I was at the mall the other day with my mother, my baby niece (who I was taking care of for a few days), and my own baby. We had just finished shopping at Penny's and on our way to another store when my baby niece started crying because she was hungry. Mom suggested I breastfeed them both in the dressing room at Penny's but I pleaded with her to let me breastfeed them in the common area of the mall on one of the benches. (I've always wanted to breastfeed two babies in public so I could show everyone I was a good mommy and also to pretend I had twins. It was so precious!) Anyways, one of the ladies from church saw me and walked up and said "I didn't know you had twins". I told her I didn't and that the baby girl was my niece ;) She then told me that I shouldn't be breastfeeding any other baby but my own because of some DNA thing. I didn't understand it but it really hurt me and made me cry later. I don't understand why this could be bad? Was she making this up?
