People who are uncomfortable with mothers feeding their newborns in public have always existed and always will.
Some children are so honest with their mothers about how they feel that it can be devastating.
After being called “disgusting” and chastised for breastfeeding in public one too many times, new mom Whitney Huntwork had enough.
In the name of all breastfeeding mothers, she sat down and penned an open letter. But she had no idea that thousands of people would read her letter once it was posted on Facebook.
You’ll see why once you read it.
Whitney included this picture with her response to her detractors.
See Whitney’s complete Facebook update below:
“Anytime. Anywhere. You can stare, I don’t care. I’ll feed my hungry child, here or there, if you don’t like my boob I still don’t care. A Restaurant? A store? It’s boob juice galore! A theater? A museum? But your more focused on trying to see them!
Bottle or boob Its all just food. You still think I should cover? You should run and tell your mother. Pull out your phone and take a picture? But I’m the one who’s the problem? Don’t you wish we could all mind our business? That would sure solve them! Think I am disgusting? I could say the same? Think I am playing an attention seeking game? You are wrong because you see, really I am only worried about the comfort of my baby and me!”
Sincerely Whitney, the badass breastfeeder & her badass son fueled by purely boob juice.”
To get her point across to as many people as possible, Whitney decided to take her rant to Facebook.
More than 145,000 people shared her post, so clearly it had an impact.
