These posts are sadly becoming more and more frequent…
A woman has taken to Facebook to call out the man who called her “disgusting” for breastfeeding her child in her car.
Mother-of-two Lauren Davidson decided to remain in the car to feed her baby girl whilst her husband and son went shopping.
She explains in her post that she prefers the comfort and privacy of the car. But unfortunately, it was far from comfortable as a complete stranger apparently said that it looked “disgusting.”
Lauren revealed: “So, Sorry Sir that you can see 3cms of bosom flesh, But i can't cover my Gal because she is SIX WEEKS OLD!! and we are both still learning how to do this!! She thrusts, She kicks, She pulls away, She headbutts me, She gets frustrated and screams, She waits until the let-down reflex hits to then pull away and grin at me.......
“.....All while we are both getting Milk everywhere & I'm trying to keep her satisfied, so covering my baby is really not an option......and it's really not my problem that these reasons are not valid to you, (not so) kind Sir.
“Only another Mum will understand this post.
“Its not that easy to just "Cover Up" and those who feel its disgusting are the ones who should be shamed, NOT a tired, emotional, only-just-holding-it-together-Mother who just wants to give a baby some lunch.
“If this helps just one other Mummy feel better about herself and her choices, then my day is made.”
Her message (which you can read in full below) was shared on Facebook earlier this year but is doing the rounds again this week.
