This Woman’s Breastfeeding Snap Caused Quite The Debate on Instagram

This woman’s breastfeeding snap sparked quite a debate on her Instagram account. Naomi Jael Covert, who is reportedly a 21-year-old full-time army wife from Germany, shared a photograph of herself breastfeeding during the reception at her friend’s wedding. She captioned it: “When you are at a wedding, wear fancy dresses and high heels… and your baby gets hungry, well... You give no shits and feed the kid”. She later added: “EDIT: whoever gets mad about this… I also fed my son at the church ceremonie IN the church. Here in Germany people don't get mad about it. “It is NORMAL . Nothing rude or bad about it. This is why I have breasts! Cause God gave me boobs for feeding my babies [sic]”.

The majority of comments praised the young mother for normalising breastfeeding and spreading awareness. One wrote: “Nice to see that! You're such a strong girl! That is something natural and we don't have to hide! Go girl, stay strong!” Another commented: “Badass breastfeeding! Woot woot! Great job spreading awareness, even if that wasn't your reason for posting this originally. It's awesome!” Unfortunately, Naomi did receive some negative feedback, which then sparked a debate among her followers. One wrote: “What happened to table manners?! no one wants or needs to see THAT while eating, especially at a wedding. Unless, of course, someone wanted to steal the show... [sic]”. Another said: “you should admit aswell that you did it for some instagram followers and likes. A little bit [sic]”.
