Woman asks if she was wrong to yell back at woman who yelled at her baby.

 This just happened today. My husband, daughter and I went for breakfast at this small restaurant. the tables were close to each other, because it was so small. A man and woman were sitting at the table next to us. The woman was sitting pretty close to my daughter and I. My daughter is 9 months old, and she was sitting in a high chair next to me.  We had ordered some mini doughnuts, which were filled with a jam. I gave my daughter a doughnut, she grabbed it and then squeezed it with both her hands. The jam spattered all over me and also on the woman&rsquo;s white skirt.  My husband immediately apologized to her and got up to get some napkins for her. She then started screaming at me, that we shouldn&rsquo;t be allowed to be in this space with a child, if IT can&rsquo;t behave stay home, etc. Just a bunch of horrible things.  I didn&rsquo;t respond at first, because I was just so in shock. I&rsquo;ve never seen someone act this belligerent over something so small. Then she pointed her finger really closing to my daughters face and kept yelling in my baby&rsquo;s face. That&rsquo;s when I got pissed and yelled back at her, to get the hell away from us.  The man she was with tried calming her down, but she actually started screeching. I yelled back, telling her she was actually fucking insane. That&rsquo;s when my husband grabbed our daughter and just said let&rsquo;s leave. A manager/server, stepped in and told the woman to calm down, she just kept going. I ignored her and grabbed our bags to leave.  As we were leaving this old lady said, I was wrong for escalating the situation. According to her, the lady looked mentally unwell and I should&rsquo;ve just apologized and stop engaging. I completely disagree with this old woman, she was yelling at my infant daughter. I&rsquo;m of course going to defend my baby.  I don&rsquo;t care how mentally unwell you are, yelling at an infant is never okay. Maybe it was unnecessary to yell back at her, but she was being aggressive to a child for a minor accident. It was such a horrible situation. It absolutely didn&rsquo;t have to end the way it did.
