I breastfed 3 babies, and my experiences were increasingly positive as I became more confident in the rightness of breastfeeding, and the unrighteous cultural traditions of the Latter Day Saints regarding breastfeeding. I am now able to see how wrong and harmful their attitudes are, and ignore them. But until recently, breastfeeding my children at church has been an extremely negative experience. I felt harassed, unwelcome, and uncomfortable due to comments the ward members made, as well as occasionally church leaders. It was clear they would rather I not come.
