I'm never very good with confrontation, but I do have strong opinions on breastfeeding. I always used a blanket, and tried to be very discreet, but even that is not required by law. Thankfully I usually found myself in nursing friendly crowds, and I was never asked to change my practices in church or any other public setting. For the most part I've found that other members in wards I've been in hold a similar opinion. If anyone didn't, it was likely they had never had children. I would respectfully hold my ground, although I don't really know the proper way to go about things should the bishop insist.

Charity is accepting someone’s differences, weaknesses, and shortcomings; having patience with someone who has let us down; or resisting the impulse to become offended when someone doesn’t handle something the way we might have hoped."
