I said I was expressing breastmilk. She looked all around and said, "where's the baby". LOL.

I pulled over and got in the backseat of my Suburban to BF her when people walked by and stared at me. I was away from other cars and not near the bathroom so there was no real reason to walk by me. Another time we had gone out to dinner with friends and I walked out to the closed patio/garden area to feed her when a friend came out to smoke. I was sitting in a darkened corner away from the entrance so, again no real reason to come near me, when he came over to the table and asked me what I was doing. Some people just don't get it. My feeling is if you don't want to see it, then stop looking. Most people go out of their way to look at mothers breastfeeding.
