should mothers feel forced to cover up or go to the bathroom in order to breastfeed their babies?

I never really thought about this until now. I plan on breastfeeding, but I'm not sure I feel brave enough to deal with the comments if I breastfeed my baby without covering up in public. But I heard some babies get too hot and uncomfortable to eat covered up. And I refuse to feed my child in the bathroom if I don't have to, that's to excrete waste not eat. What are people's opinions?
